wind power
CheezeL00ver asked:


What would be cheap available solution to pump water 40 to 60 foot high. Can I build something to utilize wind power or solar power and some technique to lift water cheap? I like to use as little money as possible for this task.

    Yep, it would be called a windmill … and they have been used for hundreds of years. It has a wheel-shaped set of fins on the top that the wind blows and turns, which in turn rotates a shaft attached to a pump underground. The pump moves the water above ground.

    The one which you spent least money cheapest way is the one which you spent once for solor cell where as the one on which gives alot of space and somtimes there is no wind and will be destroyed if wind and gives alot of space and gives alot of out put eg wind is too fast so make your choice.
