Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
I grew up in Wichita, and I know I've been at that building. What is it?

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
Cool FLLW stuff! How did you get interested in his work? The building at the University does not seem to be in use, I wonder what it is meant to be used for.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
“Off to Nebraska”
Nebraska is 452 miles (if l recall correctly) of excitement! I have a friend from there that claimed if the state found 3 or more trees growing in close proximity to each other, it was deemed a state park

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
Question
To the farmers out there What do they call these watering devices ? I’m sure a massive pump pushes the water through,, Do the wheels also turn from the water pressure ?? They are everywhere But seem especially prolific on Nebraska |

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
"sprinklers"
The ones that go around in a circle are called "center pivots"

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
I don't know for sure but I always assumed the wheels were propelled by water pressure. Probably adjustable so the rate of travel can be changed.
Hopefully someone who actually knows will chime in. Hopefully I won't sound like a fool.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
They are driven off of water pressure and the wheels are actually on timers, so they move a little, then water, then move a little more etc. or at least that’s how they are here in northern NM/southern CO.
Also for what it’s worth it really sucks when they run on your oil field well locations. Turns everything into a mud bog in no time.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
A guy I worked for one year had a sprinkler with big narrow metal spoked wheels, that you had to move by hand. It was supposed to turn them all the way along but it didn't quite work so you had to walk along and move it little by little in a long S-pattern.
I didn't end up doing the summer irrigation, but I kept having to move the sprinkler out of the way to work the ground and seed it. Of course later on you would have had to either shut off the pump from the river, or else dress appropriately and enjoy cooling off from 95* heat

Lake Foul! I was born in Page, when the dam was about 1/3 of the way during construction.
Enjoying seeing your trip.
