Advantages of OPEN WINDMILL KUKATE water pumps
Wind energy generators of the OPEN WINDMILL concept for power generation were built by craftsmen and students and then optimized on the test field of the Senator for Labor in Bremen under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Cromes.
They have been successfully replicated many hundreds of times around the world.
The turbine concept of the KUKTE34 incorporates the thirty years of experience and development work of the Wind Energy Working Group.
P
The height of the mast can be adjusted to local conditions.
P
The foundation can be built depending on the location. No concrete is required for the sleeper foundation.
P
In low wind areas, the rotor diameter can easily be increased.
P
The KUKATE water pumps do not require gears, belt or chain drives. Only for the electric version of the KUKATE34E they are mostly useful for the generator adjustment.
P
The wind turbine has no electronic, electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic components.
P
The piston diameter at any time adaptable to well pipes on site.
P
The piston and valve seals are easy to make and replace yourself.
P
The KUKATE34M diaphragm pump does not require piston seals.
P
Depending on the pumping depth and the pumping requirement of the water, a maximum water delivery adapted to the conditions can be installed via the adjustable crank swing stroke and an adapted selection of the piston diameter.
P
The guide bearings for the hardwood piston rod can be easily replaced at any time.
P
The connecting rod bearings are simple pillow block bearings available on the market worldwide.
P
The gondola bearings are self-made and can be replaced.
P
The power/speed can be controlled via the variable control weight.
P
The successful multi-year test run of the KUKATE34 confirms all the requirements for an extremely reliable water supply.
P
The entire system can be manufactured, serviced and maintained with simple locksmith tools.
P
In the successful construction of the wind pump prototype, three-quarters of those involved had no prior professional experience in metalworking.
P
For manufacturing, simple skills in the field of metal construction are enough.
P
All parts are transportable by humans.
P
The plant can be mounted lying down and then erected by people.
P
All components are 100% recyclable and do not pollute the environment.
P
And last but not least: KUKATE34 wind pump is an ideal useful education and training project for metal professional education all over the world.
“We have designed the KUKATE wind turbines to be self-safe. The rotor and the aggregates are protected from overload with the help of the control and side vane. Due to the vane control, wind itself turns the rotor out of the wind when reaching the rated power and, of course, in a hurricane. Proven on hundreds of thousands of wind pumps and wind generators for over one hundred and fifty years.”
We finance our activities through membership fees and donations
These serve to carry out engineering tests, further developments and the dissemination of knowledge on all continents, as well as to translate the construction plans into as many languages as possible.
We would like to establish and organize an international exchange of experience via a network.
