A future global market

The need for energy in the developing countries is expected to fourfold in the next twenty years. A sizable part of this demand will be in the rural activity, mainly for water pumping. Can wind energy satisfy this demand? Conventional wind turbines, can only deliver energy in the form of electricity, requiring the existence of a rural electrification network and other market conditions, absent in most of these countries. However, electricity is not indispensable. What the individual farmer needs is a simple wind rotor capable of delivering rotational mechanical energy in the range of 1Kw to 50Kw to drive a water pump, without previous transformation into electricity, An urgent need and a huge market is waiting to be satisfied.
