Water Wheel PumpPulser PumpClaimed to be 'the world's simplest water pump' The pulser pump uses hydropower with no moving parts! It is just pipes joined together. People have made pulser pumps and pulser pump models in Europe, Asia, and north America and posted them to youtube. Probably other places too. ( Please check out and make the pulser pump nano too. The nano began in 2011 as a suggestion from Virlusun on youtube) Nobody has ever made a pulser pump nano. The one in the videos have worked for over 2 decades. This idea was probably thought of and used (and lost) before I thought of it. If you have ever seen a tromp powering an airlift pump to pump water (or reference to it), prior to 1986, please let me know. a entry, and more people will have confidence to use them. The pulser pump began in 1988. This is a small one in Ireland. Thanks Wikipedia (june 08) for updating the definition for trompe at my request. Brian A very simple but effective water pump that uses the energy of a large amount of water falling a small height to pump a smaller amount of water to much greater height. 200+ year old idea, 16 year old video, new website at thttp://williamsonrampump.co.nz/ Archimedes Screw Principle ExplainedAll movies are available in full length at http://vimeo.com/channels/emas.

The idea is very ancient, going back to Chinese 'water ladders' and afterwards the chain and washer pumps. In its many ancient incarnations, the rope pump has been named the ball-and-chain pump, Chinese liberation pump, Noria pump, paternoster pump, chain pump, and many others. Its original design used tubes made of wood (hollowed-out tree trunks, for example), and big balls of leather or wooden plates. These earlier variations of the rope pump were used extensively for irrigation in agriculture and in the large and leaky wooden-canvas-hemp ships of the day, to pump out any unwanted water and prevent sinking. Discussion about using the Thermosiphon effect for a Pond Pump in Permies.com The chain pump is type of a water pump in which several circular discs are positioned on an endless chain. One part of the chain dips in to the water, and the chain runs through a tube, slightly bigger than the diameter of the discs. As the chain is drawn up the tube, water becomes trapped between the discs and is lifted to and discharged at the top. Chain pumps were used for centuries in the ancient Middle East, Europe, China, and ancient Egypt. |
