12 Flowerdew Hundred Post Mill Virginia, 1621 Reconstructed 1978
13 Danish Design Elk Horn, Nebraska 1848
14 Lessons Learned European designs did not work well because of varying wind directions and varying wind speed characteristics
15 Early Uses of Windmills in America Grinding grain in locations where water power was not feasible Pumping water from wells which were deeper than ft
16 Steam engines begin to appear in the early 1800s
17 Drawing water from a well
18 Hand Pump
19 Piston Pumps
20 Design Requirements for a Self-Controlled Windmill John Burnham The concept was a mill which without human attention would automatically turn to face the wind and which would govern its own speed to prevent its destruction by centrifugal force.
21 Halladay Standard Windmill of 1854 Designed by Daniel Halladay Connecticut
22 California Windmill Design 1850 s Johnson
23 Halladay Standard Manufactured by US Wind Engine & Pump Company Batavia, Illinois 1863 Until 1940s
24 The action of sectional-wheel windmill folding as it governs.
25 Sectional-wheel mills evolved into Vaneless mills (the vane was removed). They operated down wind. Manufactured until the 1930s.
26 Boss Dempster Duplex Raymond
27 Most vaneless mills were made of wood 1900s
28 Eclipse Solid-wheel design 1873

30 24 foot Railroad mill
31 Mast, Foos, and Co. Springfield, Ohio Early 1870s Early all-metal windmill
32 Thomas O. Perry, engineer with the U.S. Wind Engine and Pump Company, conducted over 5000 measurements and tested sixty-one forms of wind wheels. The company decided to stay with wooden blades and Perry resigned. Perry teamed with La Verne W. Noyes to form the Aermotor Co in 1888.
33 Perry s new design consisted of concave sheet steel blades set at a specific angle to the wind
34
35
36 Back-gearing was introduced because the rotor turned too fast for pump strokes. 1915
37 Enclosed gearcase for continuous oiling 1925
38
39 Dempster Windmill
40 FARM WINDMILL Mechanical System Positive Displacement Pump High Starting Torque Located Over Well Small Water Volume, 1 to 5 gal/min Low Annual Efficiency, 5 to 6 %
41 Mechanical Flow Rates Water Flow -- Gallons/min Wind Speed -- mph
42 Furling adjustment on Aermotor Maximum at 30 spm
43 Aermotor quickly became the most popular brand of water-pumping windmill. The model 702 was sold from 1935 to 1981 when the company was sold and a new model number was used. Aermotor is now the only US Company still producing new all-steel water pumping windmills.
44 This Aermotor poster hung in my office for about 30 years. It is now at the American Windmill Museum, Lubbock, Texas

46 Electricity Thomas Edision established the first central electrical power station in New York in 1882
47 Brush Wind Dynamo Cleveland Ohio
48 Brush Wind Dynamo Tower height 60ft Rotor diameter 56 ft Wooden blades 144 Rotor area 1,800 ft 2 Gear ratio 50:1 Output 12,000 Watt DC Voltage 75 to 90 V
49 Most engineers understood that city electricity would be provided through centralized systems Scientist and inventors viewed wind machines as a possible solution to individual energy needs, but not those of society Little effort was made to develop an electrical wind machine in this period

54 War is One of Those Profound Paradoxes Amid the chaos and bloodshed emerge the technologies and inventions that become items of progress in the peace that follows.
55 Army Engineers Fales & Stuart World War I Design a small wind power electric generator to operate a radio and fuel pump for aircraft Discarded the traditional multibladed rotor because of torque problems Designed a new propeller using 2 to 4 blades with an air foil Eliminated elaborate and expensive gearing systems
56 The American Wind Charger Industry WIND CHARGER - a machine that converts the kinetic energy in the wind with an aerodynamic propellor to turn a generator and produce electric power for direct use or storage for future use by charging a battery. A wind charger and battery is a wind electric plant. Thank you for visiting windchargers.org and taking the time to learn more about how Americans once successfully produced their own electricity with the magnificent farm and wind electric power plants. We hope our website will inspire a new generation of people, machines, and companies that can help and encourage individuals, like yourself, and businesses to produce their own electricity in the new clean energy economy.

72 Welcome to Wincharger.com (since Dec. 2000) About... This website provides a virtual meeting place for those interested in the history and preservation of the wind powered battery generators (aka "wind chargers"). Specifically, but not limited to the brand name "Wincharger," originally manufactured in Sioux City, Iowa. A Few Wincharger Facts... During the 1930's and 40's, hundreds of thousands of wind generators were in use in rural America 20+ companies manufactured wind generators during the era John and Gerhard Albers developed a 6V wind charger in 1927 under the name Alber's Propeller Co. In 1934, they formed the Wincharger Corporation. Wincharger: produced nearly 75% of the estimated 1 million wind generators made before 1950 holds record for production volume and longest continuously produced wind generator, (55 years) made dozens of models including 2, 6, 12, 24, 32 and 110V, 100W to 2500W used wooden propeller blades made from Douglas Fir. Aluminum was used later on the four blade, 1500W model manufactured its own towers, batteries and some appliances
73 Frepower Model 11 ft rotor 1,200 Watts
74 Air Electric Machine Co volt 1,250 Watts 12 ft rotor
75 This ornamental windmill is manufactured by the family of Air-Electric founders.
76 1949 Import
77 Rurallite Engineering Company Whole home units Jacobs acquired them for Copper quotas
78 Rural Electrification As early as 1920, Samuel Insull had expanded the centralized electric grid of Chicago to include some rural counties close by. This project was considered as successful, both in terms of profit for the utility company and service to rural consumers.
79 Centralized Power Companies Recognized the need for rural electrification Desire for profit stopped rural expansion Afraid of connecting or including independent generating systems Power companies had a monopoly on electric generation
80 Rural Electrification Administration 1935 President Roosevelt signed an executive order creating the REA 1936 Congress passed the Rural Electrification Act transforming the REA to a permanent agency Administrator Cooke established a policy of using cooperatives and government loans
81 Wind Electric 1936 Nearly 800,000 rural homes powered by farm and/or wind plants, about 15 % A Jacobs Model 45 cost $830 with tower Only 300,000 rural homes connected to centralized power out of 6,371,000 New power lines cost between $800 and $2,400 per mile in rural areas
82 Wind Electric 1945 Expansion of REA was slow during the period because of the war Wind machines manufacturers consolidated during the war years because of limited materials Demand for greater electricity after the war spurred REA expansion
83 Impact of Electricity on Rural America In 1935 the U.S. population was 128 million with 43 percent or about 55.5 million living in rural areas and 54 percent actually engaged in farming In 2000 the U.S. population was 282 million with less than 21 percent or 59 million living in rural areas and only 10 percent actually engaged in farming
84 Lessons Learned The type of load dictates the design of wind machine Multiblades give higher torque and are better adapted to water pumping Fewer blades yield higher rotor speeds and are better adapted to electric generation Adequate lubrication is mandatory Furling offers a means of speed control and reduced loading
85 Grandparents household water system
86 Grandparents house before REA
87 My Experience Grandparents received REA in 1947 or 48 resulted in lighting and radio. In 1950, a new house. Family farm purchased in 1956 received REA in House remodeled in 1962.
