This is what you should have had Rob, when you were inquiring a couple 
years back about a cheap pump to put in your hand-dug well.  This says 
you have to  keep the ropes from rubbing against each other, someone 
should correspond with the NGO's working on rope pump projects to get 
diagrams of two and three-pulley systems you con't have to watch---or 
use a Robert Green VAWT with a gear or vane pump attached to the bottom 
of the rotating shaft and immersed in the well.  Good idea to stack 
Green rotors for more torque and pump output.
