Poundland sell water pumps that are designed to run from an electric drill ive had a play with one attaching it to a savonius rotor made from and old coffe tin and it pumped water quite well when the wind gusted.

The one problem i have is i cant find anywhere that sells stuff in enough bulk as i like.
