One of the problems of verticle windmill is that the arms wind turbine have to travel against the air current half the time. This will reduce the efficiency. To counter this, I have decided to make an arrangement as in this diagram. This is my invention and anyone can copy and use it (No patent).
An additional arrow like structure should be installed from the middle pipe extending sidewards (At Half the distance of the full length of the properller arm). This arrow will have a tail and a head which is nothing but V shaped plates which will "Block" the wind. If it works, then this arrow head will block the wind falling on the returning propeller.
Since this arrangement is pivoted on a ball bearing, this will rotate and always point against the wind at any time serving the purpose. Thus blocking wind on the return journey and allowing wind to flow only towards the working properller, the windpump will gain maximum efficiency. Concept yet to be tested.
