ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a water circulator device for circulating the water in a lake, pond, or reservoir. The device comprises a raft having a wind driven shaft mounted thereon for vertical rotation. A mixing chamber is mounted beneath the raft with the upper edge of the chamber above the surface of the lake, pond, or reservoir. The lower end of the shaft has a propellor mounted thereon within the mixing chamber. A pair of vertical telescoping pipes are mounted beneath the chamber of reduced diameter in relation to the chamber. The upper pipe is fixed to the bottom of the chamber and the lower pipe is adjustable relative to the upper pipe so that the lower end of the pipe may be located near the bottom of the lake whereby the wind may rotate the shaft to rotate the propellor with the propellor acting to draw water from the bottom of the lake up through the telescoping pipes into the mixing chamber and up over the top edge of the chamber for circulating and aerating the water in the lake during the winter months with the water at the bottom of the lake being sufficiently warm normally to keep the lake, pond, or reservoir from freezing over in the area of the device while the device is in operation.
