Renewable Energy for Self-Sufficiency

I just put up a 1920’s Aermotor, cast iron windmill. I would like to connect the piston down to the well. Anyone know the parts I would need?
Hi Elizabeth,
I don’t have any experience with that…but I bet you would be able to find answers on some of the homesteading forums, like Homesteading Today… http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/
Best wishes!
