Turbine-Powered Pond Mills
FARM SHOW readers familiar with our turbine-powered pond mills may be interested to learn that we've got a new simpler, lighter and more economical model out. The Savonious # 103 uses a series of air scoops to direct drive the system's underwater propeller, instead of the turbine which drives the propeller through a gearbox on our two earlier models. It features the same drawing capacity - down to 33 ft. - as our turbine-driven models, and nearly as good efficiency. Needs a 10 mph wind to operate, compared with 6 mph for the turbine models. Sells for $1,860 (U.S.). (Basil J. Leonard, Environ Mils International Inc.,R.R. 4, Sunderland, Ontario, Canada LOC 1HO; ph 705 357-2406, fax 1482).
