Windmill project in Haiti

Post by Ken O'Brock »

I sold an 8' mill to a mission group in Ontario, Canada and they just finished it today. They build the tower on site from local materials. Most of the tower is welded. They did the whole project in 7 days. It's going to drip irrigate a field of green beans and a field of something else that I can't think of right now. The tanks are 275 gallons plastic. I spent several sessions on the phone talking them through some things. It will be interesting if the tower and added braces can hold 5,000 pound weight of the tanks.

NIce looking set-up, but I would argue for some girts and X braces for tanks on the safety side.
