This is surprisingly smart and effective Not only is it cheaper, but it also lets us put in water to use later instead of near-instant action that the first Mr Coffee machines had (probably as well as other early coffee makers trying to usher in a new era of coffee making) It removed the rush of puttinng in the coffee, turning it on, puttting water in and making sure the carafe? is below the outlet within like the 15 seconds itd take for the coffee to soak up and let through Also i came here from technology connections.

The principle is called "thermosiphon". At one time, it was even used in some automobiles, in lieu of a belt-driven water pump., to circulate the engine coolant.
@Derek_Read
@Derek_Read 6 жыл бұрын
I think this is different. What is actually moving the liquid here is heated water forming bubbles (vapour) inside the rest of the water, and as it rises it pushes the liquid water up. I don't think a thermosiphon uses a gas to move the liquid, it uses thermal convection. A bubble pump (aka gas lift pump) needs the one-way valve to function. As each bubble passes up through the liquid it pushes a little bit of that liquid up, but because it can pass through the liquid it is not capable of pushing it all out of the way, which is why the one-way valve is needed (so the little bit of water that is moved up with each bubble doesn't move back down). That's what gives this kind of pump its distinctive sound, which is created as the gas escapes.

A gas lift pump only needs a one way valve if there is the possibility that the bubble can go the wrong way. You could replace that valve with a U-bend, provided you have the space to do so. The gas bubble can't go down and around the U-bend.

This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.

A few minutes ago I tore apart our old coffee maker, just to replicate the lessons in this video. There's another interesting aspect to coffee makers that I hope Bill can cover someday: bimetal thermostats. The one I found in the old coffee maker was the cylindrical kind, located on one of the power input lines to the heating element. At my job we use a different type of thermal switch as a safety mechanism in case a device overheats, but the bimetal principle is the same. Thanks again for making this video. It was fun to re-watch it, this time with a torn-up coffee machine in hand.

The one way valve is also called a check valve. As a chemical engineer working on the floor, i deal with them all the time but I had never ever thought they could be used as a pump. Wow.! Also learning recently a bit about "slug flow" usage in crystallization processes, I find equally fascinating. You can actually crystallize solids in a moving gas bubble in a tube and control particle size using slug flow.

Top tip, if you use an electric kettle for making tea, boil a full kettle, pour it into the empty coffee maker, and the coffee produced will be of a significantly higher quality. I've done it for years. Much better than those sad little heating elements. You'll taste a difference.

You should do a follow up on the engineering of planned obsolescence (the art of designing shit to break). Because a modern coffee pot is a really good example. In brands such as cuisinart the ball valve is intentionally placed in such as way its near impossible to access without destroying some aspect of the coffee pot, on top of lacking basic screens to prevent clogging over time.

@engineerguy your coffee maker with an elevated reservoir would work without an additional heating element. You just need to route the water through the heating element and back below the reservoir, as long as the outlet is still below the reservoir the water will flow. I imagine the reasons your proposal of an elevated reservoir is not used have nothing to do with saving money on a pump or a heating element. Instead, a non elevated reservoir lowers the center of gravity of the machine. Also, the non elevated reservoir ensures that the water will not flow unless heated, an elevated reservoir coffee maker would need a valve to control when and how fast the water flows adding cost and complexity. Your video shows how the solution works but inaccurately presents the problem by implying that the water would not flow down through the heating element and back up to below the reservoir.

Your solution (based on the principle of communicating recipients) the speed with which the water runs will depend on gravity. You can vary the volume/time by selecting a differnt section to the tubing, but you can not vary the speed. So you need to have a powerfull enough heating element to heat the water very quickly. While in the solution presented in the video you can use any power for the heating element, liquid circulation will only start when the water is hot enough, only than will the pumping effect occur. So you have the guarantee the water is always hot enough to boil the coffee.

I was going to comment that the title is misleading, but your statement at 1:17 "This simple device creates a pump with ALMOST no moving parts." corrects the record. The presence of the check valve is in fact a moving part. If the check valve ball was to get stuck on the seat, or stick in the open position, it would render the system inoperative.

I wonder what Moccamaster does to prevent that horrible slopping noise. Every coffee maker I've yet seen except that one is horribly loud at the end of each run.

RealationGames Well, without actually looking it up, the answer may be in this video.... This bubble pump function is designed to allow 1 heating element to do 2 jobs, to be more efficient and presumably cheaper to manufacture.. But if you didn't care about that you could just use 2 heating elements.. That should be much quieter, I would think.

liquidthex They still do pump the water in Moccamaster, it's not gravity driven.

I've always wondered how my coffee maker works. In fact, every time I hear it percolate despite any noise from mechanical bits I knew there was some basic physics principle at work that I was ignorant of. Thanks for clarifying this!

Well technically the ball in the check valve isn't actuated but relies on pressure differences. So.... i would give the description an A-OK.

Technically: yes it does move. However, when things are described as "little-to-no moving parts" they're referring to not having things like electro-mechanical pumps that push the fluid through instead of letting physics do the work with a simple check valve.

MinecraftEpicPlayer An electron isn't a 'part' anymore than an atom is. Sure it's a "part of the process," but that is not what the word 'part' means in this context- or the phrase "no moving parts" would be utterly meaningless. The abstract definition of 'part' shares the same word in English but is actually a completely different concept. A valve is a moving 'part' in your coffee maker; an electron is not. The title is technically a lie.

You make some great videos, excellent presentation of the material. I have to say, as a student in physics and mathematics, I got a chuckle from the forgetting to plug in the coffee maker. Simply because I have had many projects and experiments where after spending hours setting everything up correctly, I'd have a moment of panic at it not working when I turned it on, then realize I hadn't plugged in any power yet. Keep the great work coming, please. :-)
