Windmill trivia.....
I recall my grandfather having a propeller/wind vane contraption on top of his 2 story house to generate electricity to charge batteries for his radio.
This was before rural electricity was available.
I even remember the gas lights……
This was in the 1930’s.
I have often wondered why alternator/generators of some type could not be used on windmills in addition to air pump for pond aeration.

I'm sure glad we didn't have a contraption like that. I have a pretty good idea that I would have been sent outside to make sure the vanes got turned.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

At the Pond Boss Show in Texas this year, Outdoor Water Solutions had a research and development windmill head that was producing air and electricity. Look for them in the near future, the demand is definitly there. I assume all major brands are developing this type of product.
