Hope I am posting this the right spot. If not please move it where it is more appropriate.
We'd need to lift water with a preferably traditional Au windmill to about 17-19 meters high - to water tanks on roof deck in Vietnam where the main has very little pressure. We want the wind mill to save power and look iconic, possibly sitting on the roof. But budget is an issue -- so we it might come down to putting it together and make it look good that way. I am a building consultant in Melbourne and have no mechanical or electrical training. Oops
Any help welcome.

See you, Leddie

Ron -- thanks,
Just looking at weather data and I can see the wind there today is 7-20km/h at an 19m altitude, and looks like the average wind speed...on another site: is 1.5 mps-2.5 mps. Extreme wind is said to be rare -- the 20 year max reaches 34 mps in tropical cyclones. L.Edited by leddie 2008-03-05

See you, Leddie
