[@Jasoninee]

@Dino Sauro Anyone can talk about as much as they want, but 99.999999% of it is just people creating hoaxes. You make a free energy device that checks out and guarantee you that EVERYONE will be very interested. There is absurd amounts of money and research spent on improving efficiency. You really think that not a single engineer would love the holy grail of free energy? It is just that it is essentially known fact to be impossible, so almost certainly not worth someone's time and resources to treat 9999999999999 hoaxes as viable to find something that might be worth the effort. If it is made and works you better believe that people wont have to be found to come to you. The people will find you if free energy is actually proven.

[@Jasoninee]

@Dino Sauro No. That is ridiculous. Automobiles went from like the teens in mpg to now over 30 mpg and also electric cars that can run on off grid solar. Engineers and big business are not avoiding or adverse to getting more energy from less input. That is quite literally a huge focus of theirs. IF this actually happened the inventor would definitely need to decide how and who to work with sooner rather than later. IF it was true and the technology was held without distribution of some sort, then I guess it would be possible someone is going to come after you. Come after you to get it... not to bury it. An engineer would absolutely love to have technology presented to them that absolutely beats their current prospects. There is not some crazy entity taking people out for free energy devices. It is essentially an awful place to try and remain because out of 9999999999 claims there have been exactly 9999999999 motivated hoaxes or complete misunderstandings of physics.

Why would you choose to have wind>mechanical>low head pressure>mecanical>high head pressure? You are starting with mechanical. This device is essentially mechanical advantage for water pressure. If you want more head pressure out of the windmill then you would just use a differently geared pump for higher pressure.

@@ICGedye Mechanical advantage doesnt really have limits outside of breaking the materials involved. They are not going to magically gain a "sufficient" ratio of force by adding in unnecessary energy conversions. All that can do is reduce efficiency. If straight mechanical advantage is possible for the situation one should never add in extra energy conversions.

[@edwardlewis1963]

@@ICGedye Looking at conservation of energy, it needs to lose water at the level of the pump in order to pump some of the water up to a higher level; the higher the level you want to pump upwards, the more water you would have to lose.

A bike rim with some paddles on it mounted on a wood A frame and the pump attached to the axle with a clamp and a hose leading up to my 2500 litre pond. The whole unit gets put in the shallow creek when I need water in my garden pond and I just leave it for half a day to fill and I'm good for a week of watering. Granted my elevation change is only about 18 to 20 feet and 100 ft of hose, don't know if that could be increased though, never tried. There's always a way to build something on a budget.

Watch your back or someone will get upset you stole a 300 year old design from a museum and built one.

[@burnpdx8144]

That's a nice design. Good work!

[@choimdachoim9491]

Will the water taste like the "tire?" If so, that can be replaced by a non-taste material. I'm not so sure about that 650 pounds of pressure....seems like it would have blown that tire. Still, it works so...

[@sqekyy]

the tyre doesn't get the high pressure inside it - lots of water at low pressure in the tyre is used to get a little bit of water to high pressure in the top piston (and it looks like the water that goes into the tyre is just used for power, and spills out; the inlet pipe - top piston - outlet pipe is separate)

[@brettporta2332]

630 psi in the pump chamber and that was of a 5 m fall, so the tyre would have 7 psi, 1.4 psi per metre.

[@Wyrm1701]

No, the power feed water supply and the water being pumped can be entirely separate, which is another score over a simple ram pump. This way you can use a copious but dirty water supply to push a low volume but clean spring water supply to wherever you need it; this could be important if you are using the water for animal or human consumption. It is quite often the case that you have plenty of water on a site, but not much of it is drinkable without treatment.

[@orbs1062]

Probably wouldn't taste any worse than water through a plastic/rubber hose.

(Bunyip inventor) Though i,d fk.. with without Brett, he knows how to make one like you,d buy in the shop. I was going to say something technical but i thick some where else.

[@gottasay4766]

Brilliant. Can’t help comparing it to a good lover vs a traditional, bad lover.

[@daviddelle774]

How high above the pump must you get the water to operate the pump? It seems the water pressure must be pretty high to expand that tire and lift all that weight of the pump!

[@roomtemp6374]

Not sure about this one but most useful sized hydraulic ram pumps need at least a meter of drop and a decent volume of water in the input pipe to work. More drop is better, but it's less than one might imagine.

[@davidjones8942]

Which would highlight the advantage of a traditional ram pump, not wasting energy lifting anything but water. I don't see how this new pump could work better when it has to lift the water AND the pump mechanism... simple conservation of energy.

[@roomtemp6374]

@@davidjones8942 Assuming enough head volume to drive it in the first place, the weight of the piston is negligible. A physical piston also provides positive displacement so the potential pressure is high. In systems like this you're typically not trying to wring every last bit of efficency out of it. What's of more concern to me, versus the traditional style, is the durability of the rubber diaphram and seals over time. But it looks pretty tough and easy to service anyway.

[@davidjones8942]

@@roomtemp6374 ok, but the downside if a piston setup would be that a tiny failure to seal will result in (relatively) large loss of efficiency, whereas the ram pump is causing build up of pressure by stopping a large column of moving water, so a failure to seal on the one way valve would have to be enormous to effect output efficiency. I'm not trying to claim a ram pump is better than this piston set up, just that they are close enough to similar that there is no advantage to the piston design that could possibly warrant a roughly 100x price tag....

[@roomtemp6374]

@@davidjones8942 I didn't look at the price. In fairness I wouldn't compare it to homebrew pvc constructions. But with that said, I agree with you.

This is an actual usable and much needed invention.

in Brazil it has been used for decades. we call it a hydraulic ram. if it sells ready to install.

The earliest Romans used this technique and today’s technology can increase the pumps efficiency.

[@sosteve9113]

Interesting stuff what the Romans did

[@JS-jh4cy]

Also were the Romans able to have water fountains that worked without power, as long as the water level was kept high enough

[@JS-jh4cy]

I don't know how the design and technology worked on their fountains

[@Comingwings]

@@JS-jh4cy the fountains were different, they were 2 slaves powerful, 3 slaves powerful etc.

[@DreadX10]

@@JS-jh4cy Aqueduct brought water in at a higher level than the fountain. Water-pipes down to the fountain were water-tight. Fountain is just a deliberate leak in the system.

[@monkeylovemagic3339]

Ingenious design, thanks

[@blackbirdxx928]

So it takes water from up hill and pumps it back up hill?

[@philippe5518]

It takes water from a little up hill and pumps some of it a lot further up hill.

[@DonHavjuan]

It takes a large amount of water from up a small hill and sends a small amount up a bigger hill. It's basic physics and the basic design is 300 years old.

[@ManInTheWoods76]

I would say this man is going places. But he has already arrived.

[@leonardaitcheson6224]

Be good to see it operating more in detail than the explaining. Well informed but yet to see...

[@whtstr2133]

It kinda reminds me of a heat differential engine (thermal acoustic, sterling heat, ect.). Nietenol engines are similar as well. I'd say that the physical engineering principles are similar.

[@Jasoninee]

@@whtstr2133 Huh? How does this remind you of engines that run off of heat creating pressures and then a Nietenol (you probably mean nitinol?) Engine that uses wire wanting to return to its original shape with heat? This is just a large low pressure piston used to drive a small high pressure piston. Add in a one way valve and a release for the low side to empty/drop, then reset once down with gravity and done. So confused how you thought of those concepts as being similar at all.
