1 Get the water you want, where you want it, using the power of the wind, free, for life! Fill tanks, ponds and lakes. Irrigate fields, or drain flooded lands. Get the water you want for farm, ranch, village or community water supply. Move water anywhere desired. The only other items you will need are pipe, cement and at least, a puff of wind. We are confident that you will be very pleased with your Iron Man Windmill and the lifetime of free water you will have. Since 1970, Iron Man Windmill Co. has worked hard to master the art and science of the pumping windmill. We have studied your situation and provide the plan and quotation below which includes all the windmill related hardware needed for you to have a successful pumping system. This plan is based on the information you provided and our extensive experience. More information is available at: B Price List - Prices subject to change.

2 SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING FEATURES OF A WORLD CLASS WINDMILL Iron Man Towers - easy and comfortable to work with - large, sturdy platform with no-slip floor plate - safe and secure. Exclusive with Iron Man Windmills. Iron Man Tower Pads with heavy anchor bolts. Faster, easier installation, greater strength, safe and secure. All Stainless Steel pump with long life, low friction Poly seals. Easy working pumps more water, reduces windmill load, lets windmill work in lighter winds. Iron Man Windmills - all parts are adequately sized to give a lifetime of heavy service. All quality construction. Operation and regulation is automatic. Our Recommendation For your 150ft / 45M Pumping Elevation Windmill Size Pump Size Common Wind Environment Pumping Capacity STRONG WINDS - Above 15 Mph. Small trees sway. 195 G / Hr Iron Man 8ft Wind Wheel Diameter 50mm MEDIUM WINDS 10 to 15 Mph. Branches move, dust is raised and litter blows on the ground. 107 G / Hr LIGHT WINDS 3.5 to 10 Mph. Leaves and small branches move and wind is felt lightly on the face. Iron Man Windmills usually begin working in the lower light wind speed range. 49 G / Hr

3 THE 8ft WINDMILL GEAR BOX The gearbox of the Iron Man Windmill changes the rotating energy captured by the wind wheel into a vertical reciprocating motion that causes the pump to lift water. The entire process is very efficient - much more so than converting wind power to mechanical energy to operate a generator then using the electricity generated to operate an electric pump. The gearbox is strong and dependable, requiring little more than a yearly change of readily available 10W hydraulic oil. Iron Man Windmills use traditional Babbitt bearings throughout. Babbitt bearings have been in use in all successful windmills for more than 150 years. It is a well known fact that no other bearing used in a windmill lasts as long or turns as freely as proper bearings made from Babbitt. The making of proper Babbitt bearings is a fine art, still practiced daily by skilled professionals at Iron Man Windmill. GUIDE WHEEL HOLDS LIFTING MECHANISM IN PERFECT ALIGNMENT OIL RING LIFTS OIL FROM GEARS TO UPPER MECHANISM EVERY MOVING PART FLOODED WITH OIL STEEL SHAFTING Used in Iron Man Windmills could be made from common mild steel, as used by other windmill manufacturers. Parts made from such steel does not wear well, survive storms that wreck buildings or provide the strength a windmill built to last a lifetime requires. All shafting used in Iron Man Windmills is made from heat treated SAE 1045 high strength alloy the same steel used to make heavy truck axels. It s the only way to make a windmill able last a lifetime. SAE 1045 ALLOY SHAFTING SAME STEEL USED TO MAKE HEAVY TRUCK AXELS MAIN SHAFT FORGED INTO HUB HUB CAN NEVER COME LOOSE OIL COLLECTOR RETURNS OIL TO GEARBOX MAIN SHAFT BEARING IN CENTER OF HUB NO OVERHANGING LOAD SHIELDED BABBITT WITH OIL GROOVE AMPLE LOAD SUPPORT OIL WASHER TAKES OIL FROM SMALL GEAR AND POURS IT INTO MAIN SHAFT BEARING DUEL GEAR SET EACH SET CARRIES HALF THE LOAD EASIER STARTING GREATLY INCREASES WORKING LIFE BABBITT BEARING BETWEEN PINION GEARS SUPPORTS HEAVY LOADS, MINIMIZES FRICTION, INCREASES WORKING LIFE

4 THE 8ft WINDMILL TOWER The Iron Man Windmill tower is strong enough to survive storms that wreck buildings. Simple and easy to set up. They can be installed in one to two days depending on the experience of the installer. All parts are light enough that the entire windmill can be setup without requiring a crane or other lifting equipment. Common hand tools, a rope and wood planks are all that is required to complete installation. All fasteners are hot galvanized forged alloy steel. All tower parts are hot dip galvanized to provide a lifetime of service, free from problems caused by rusting. STURDY STEEL PLATFORM GALVANIZED WITH NONSLIP SURFACE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE STANDARD WITH ALL IRON MAN TOWERS TIGHT FITTING NOTCHING RIGIDLY LOCKS CORNER POSTS. CANNOT WORK LOOSE HEAVY CORNER POSTS HEAVY ANGLE STEEL NO CHEAP PIPE OR TUBING! CROSS BRACES PROVIDE RIGID SUPPORT ANGLE STEEL IN BOTTOM SECTION COLD DRAWN STEEL DIAGONALS USED IN UPPER SECTIONS STRONG, CONVENIENT LADDER MOUNTED ON CORNER POST MAKES CLIMBING SAFE AND EASY STANDARD ON ALL IRON MAN TOWERS CORNER POST PADS STRONG, FAST, CLEAN AND EASY INSTALLATION STANDARD WITH ALL IRON MAN TOWERS

6 Tower Height is important! How it affects performance. Windmills installed on towers of the proper height will be exposed directly to the strongest available winds and pump the most water. Also, windmills on taller towers usually are exposed to direct winds, free of turbulence and gusts that can negatively affect performance. 8ft dia. windmills should have the wind wheel located at least 10ft above any obstructions within a 400ft radius. Smooth, direct winds will allow the windmill to pump more water and not be subject to the increased loads imposed by gusts and turbulence. Windmills located in areas subjected to storm winds, should have the wind wheel located high enough to avoid damage caused by blowing debris, building materials, trees, etc. blowing in the wind. On the other hand, if the region where a windmill is to be located is flat and devoid of any obstacles, a shorter tower is advantageous as they can be installed more easily and cost less. If you decide that a tower of different height is appropriate for your application, we can provide towers of excellent quality for our 8ft windmill in the following heights: 27ft Our shortest tower. Useful in flat areas free from obstructions. 550Lbs $2,750 39ft Our most popular tower for most applications where there are few / short obstructions. 785Lbs $3,350 53ft A taller tower for use in areas with obstructions, such as trees and / or buildings. 1036Lbs $4,450 67ft Suitable for use in areas with taller obstructions, or when located close to buildings. 1466Lbs $5,990 80ft Our tallest tower for our 8ft windmill. Use where considerable obstructions exist. 1896Lbs $7,330 Towers come with all parts needed, including anchors, tower pads, forged alloy steel hot galvanized fasteners, sturdy galvanized platform with anti-slip surface, shut off mechanism and pump rod guides when needed. Pipe is not included. 3M 5,000 head of cattle and horses Get their water from two 8ft Iron Man Windmills on 39ft towers at a large, remote ranch in Kazakhstan. Pumping elevation is 33ft. Due to heavy pumping load and severe storms in the region, it was decided to use taller towers than usual. 400ft RADIUS 10ft 400ft RADIUS 8ft DIA. WINDMILL
