Windmill energy system

A windmill energy system comprising a windmill, including windmill blades rotatably connected to a drive shaft, in combination with a compressor pump in an essentially closed loop system;

• said compressor including a tubular upper section having a piston chamber in which a piston is slidably disposed, a lower section forming a control chamber separated from said piston chamber by said piston;
• a crankshaft assembly disposed in said control chamber for reciprocating said piston in response to rotation of said windmill blades, a first and second passageway each extending through said lower section in communication with said control chamber, conduit means for interconnecting said first and second passageway with said piston chamber through a heat exchange means for forming said closed loop, and means rotatably connected to said crankshaft assembly for opening said first passageway and closing said second passageway during the piston discharged stroke and for opening said second passageway and closing said first passageway during the piston suction stroke and further comprising inlet valve means connected to said piston chamber and exhaust valve means connected to said piston chamber with said conduit means having a first conduit connected to said piston chamber through said inlet valve means and to said first passageway and a second conduit connected to said piston chamber through said exhaust valve means and to said second passageway through said heat exchange means and a pressure regulating valve coupling said second conduit to said second passageway and wherein said means for opening and closing said passageways during consecutive strokes of said piston comprises a disk in abutting relationship against said side wall through which said passageways extend, said disk circumscribing an arc of greater than 180.degree..
