Rotorkel
Rotorkel is a brand of wind-powered water pump. It is designed to operate using the rotational energy generated by wind turbines. These pumps are typically used in agricultural settings for irrigation and livestock watering, as well as for drainage and other water management purposes. The Rotorkel system works by converting the rotary motion of the wind turbine into a reciprocating motion that drives a pump. This mechanism allows for reliable water extraction even in areas with inconsistent wind patterns. The efficiency of the Rotorkel system is dependent on factors such as wind speed, turbine size, and the depth of the water source. They are often chosen for their ability to operate off-grid, requiring no external electricity or fuel. The design emphasizes durability and low maintenance, making them a practical solution for remote or rural locations. Various models of Rotorkel pumps exist, differing in their pumping capacity and the size of the wind turbine they are designed to be paired with. The company has been a provider of wind-powered pumping solutions for several decades.
