ABSTRACT:
An improved drive mechanism for a windmill has: (a) a drive chain driven into movement by a wind wheel shaft driven into rotation by wind movement against a wind wheel; (b) a drive chain sprocket driven by the drive chain and coupled to a force chain sprocket to correspondingly drive a force chain; (c) a chain pin coupled at one position to the force chain and also coupled to a captive slide; and (d) a pump rod connected to the slide and driven an equal distance in each direction by the driven slide in order to convert full mechanical force equally on both the full upstroke and the full downstroke of the pump rod. The improved drive mechanism improves the efficiency of the power cycle by transitioning to the full upstroke with only a minimal dwell on either end of the stroke for transition to movement in the opposite direction. Full mechanical force can thus be applied equally on both the full upstroke and the full downstroke. A high reliability oil bucket chain link lubrication system is used to flood the entire chain mechanism with abundant oil to avoid the problems in traditional pumps of loss of priming, seal wear, etc.
