Wind pumps operate using the kinetic energy from wind to drive a mechanical system that pumps water. Typically, they consist of a large rotor connected to a pump via a series of gears or a direct-drive mechanism. As the wind turns the rotor, it converts wind energy into rotational energy, which then moves the pump's piston or diaphragm, drawing water from a source and delivering it to the desired location. This simple yet effective mechanism allows for efficient water pumping in remote or off-grid areas.

Is wind an alternative energy?

It is because it stays as long as the sun shines. We can use it as wind turbines, windmills, wind pumps, wind farms, and wind panels!( the wind panel was recently created)

Does a wind turbine rotate to face the wind?

Yes, wind turbines are designed to automatically rotate to face the direction of the wind. This is typically done using a yaw mechanism that aligns the turbine blades with the wind direction to maximize energy production.
