the commercial pond aerator windmills in the states (koenders?) use small air suspension bladders as the diaphragms for the pump, driven off a simple crank/cam shaft off the blades. Only other parts are a couple check valves and a slip coupler to let the windmill turn all the way around without kinking the hose.
