A nodding donkey is intended to convert a rotating movement into a reciprocating one as to pump a fluid out of the soil.

We use to see them related to petroleum activities despite it's not restricted to hydrocarbons industry. Water wells could also be covered by such  pump jacks as well.

	Wyoming, USA	man_made=petroleum_well pump_mechanism=piston mechanical_driver=electric_motor mechanical_coupling=nodding_donkey	A common pump jack collecting oil from underground well. We know it is driven by an electric motor instead of an engine by looking at electric power supply on the right.
