What a tease. So, does the guy have to pull the information out of you? Or maybe you want some begging or heavy-duty grovelling....
Most of the windmill plans I've seen were really for too few watts to effectively fully power a conventional electric water heater. And do you have enough consitent winds to provide power 24/7?
You might come out better with one of those solar powered hot water boosters. I read where some folks put holding tanks in the attic, but that's proably more help during the Summer when the attic gets too hot anyway. The active solar hot water panels with a holding tank may be a better option for Winter. How's the Sun where you live?

My first attempt would be car A/C stuff and the proper size DC motor. Batteries would absorb the "surge" and a controller would switch the motor "on" when the batteries were full and "off" when a predetermined cut-off point was hit. The batteries would eliminate very short "runs" but the dedicated bank not be so large as to run the heat-pump for extended periods without input from the wind/water ginny??????
