» »Water pump without power
This is not a joke or a practical joke. The water pump in question does not really need electricity, gasoline or anything else. He does not draw energy from the ether and does not catch free energy. With all this, it is able to raise a column of water several times higher than the initial pressure. No cheating or swindle - ordinary physics and nothing more.
Of course, if you see such a pump for the first time, then like me you might think that this is nonsense ... The same as the invention of the perpetual motion machine ... But no, everything is much simpler and quite easy to explain. This is a 100% working model of a water pump, repeated by more than one craftsman.

Making a water pump


So, for starters, I will tell you how the pump is arranged, and then its principle of operation and work in real conditions.

Design with description


This is how it looks. Everything is made of PVC pipes.

In this case, the design has the form of a straight pipe with various valves and taps, with a branch in the center of a thicker pipe diameter.
The thickest part is a buffer or receiver for accumulating and stabilizing pressure. On the left and on the right, input and output ball valves are installed.
I will look at the pump from right to left. Since the right side is the entrance for water, and the left is the exit.
In general, we realized that water is supplied to the ball valve on the right. Next comes the tee. Tee splits threads. Up delivers to the valve, which closes with sufficient pressure. A direct flow is supplied to the valve, which opens when the desired pressure is reached.
Then, again comes the tee to the receiver and already to the exit. And, still a manometer, but it may not be, is not so important.

Details


All parts are laid out before assembly. I use PVC pipes, they are glued to the glue, but polypropylene can also be used.

Assembly


I collect. The second valve is in the middle and looks a bit different. The difference between the two valves is that initially the brass valve will always be open, and the PVC valve will always be closed initially.

Pump test


It's time to install and test the pump. I want to make a reservation a bit and say that the pump does not just pump water, but rather increases its pressure. I mean, the pump needs an initial pressure.
To do this, install the pump in a small stream. We will connect a long pipe of several meters (this is a prerequisite) and we will take water from a small elevation. As a result, water will flow to the pump itself.

We set the receiver upright, the brass valve should be outdoors.

And the pump, clicking the valves begins to supply water above the intake level. Much higher than the level of water intake at the beginning of the pipe.

The principle of the water pump


All this seems truly amazing and incredible, but there is no secret. Such water pumps are also called hydraulic shock pumps and they work like this:
When water is supplied, it immediately rushes into the open valve.
The principle of the water pump

As soon as the water picks up a small run-up, this valve will close abruptly. And since the column of water in the pipe has inertia like any physical mass, then a water hammer will occur, which will create excess pressure that can open the second valve.And water will rush into the receiver, where it will compress the air.
The principle of the water pump

As soon as the excess pressure is extinguished and becomes less than the outgoing one, the center valve closes and the upper one opens. As a result, water will again run through the top valve.
The principle of the water pump

Next, the cycle repeats.

Such pumps can create a pressure 10 times higher than the initial pressure! And to confirm this, watch the video:

    something sonny here in the plastic assembly got it up without looking at the drawing in the video announcement. The primary hydraulic shock pump will not work if you assemble it as in the photo. For the simple reason that this is nonsense. But the drawing on the poster video is a viable device, which is years and years old and there is no account.

      Dear Monk, be so kind as to speak a technical language and not a market one. Why the pump will not work. If it works from the energy of the flowing water in the stream, then this is the perpetum of the mobile until the stream flows.

    I also think that the diagram in the photo is not working. The outlet pipe must be installed as in the diagram on the video.

    In the photo, it’s definitely not a working diagram, why is this water going to the receiver after the valve, if there is pressure in the receiver, and then there’s no further pipe, the receiver just does not fill up, and the video diagram is correct

    The laws of physics have not been canceled. Learn the materiel.

    For running water in the form of a spring, there has long been a pump using so far (rise to any (!) Height)

    The design is good only in that it is simple, but requires constantly flowing clean water for the valves to work clearly. This design does not apply to the perpetum mobile. A small part of the energy of the water can be supplied at a higher pressure by any water mill or hydraulic turbine, if part of the energy of the water that it uses is supplied to the water pump or any other. In this case, the authors prefer to remain silent, not comparing it with other alternative options.

    1. Both working schemes.
    2. Optional stream. Enough water on the dais. It turns out initially the water drops from the starting point to the pump, and then the pump raises it above this starting point.
    3. The pump consumes water. Part of the water remains at the lower point where the pump is located.

    As a flapper valve, you can use a conventional check valve with a spring pulled out.

    And what to do with water. which spills out of the valve? For installation in a stream, it will do. And so the idea is cool, take off my hat!

    these pumps were back in 1938 ...
