Here is idea that I have had for awhile but have not taken to the next step which might be to draw something out on a napkin. It is to use an ordinary windmill to power a piston or other type of refrigerant pump for a heat pump for heating and cooling. Another thing to power by the same method is an air pump used in oxygenation of a farm pond. In S.E. Nebraska it seems like there is often enough wind to drive a windmill but I do not know of any electrical wind farms there. Please share any info you have on this.

A resistor heater powered off the the windmill's generator will make you far happier. The air pump or water pump for fish ponds work well from windmills. Five of those 380ft tall 5100 shaft HP windmills going up in plain view at the back of my farm. Problem is they are a few feet away on the other side of my fence. I get to see the things but not get paid any $$$. frankiee, where are you?

check out otherpower.com on their discussion board there are lots of guys who use windmills for many forms of power from pumping to generating power, and could probably answer your question.

I would say to go to the site provided and put your location into the space provided. See if they have any ideas on the wind in that area.
Just a little while ago I thought that wind power was way too expensive to be any kind of realily but here in Southern Ontario, they are sprouting up all over the place.
