The explanation of the video is wrong the water coming in swirling is to recharge the water and the tank below would have a pipe that sends the water uphill near the Bottom by the pressure of gravity sending it higher. Just Like Water Systems around the country work today from water tower holding tanks. That's why buildings higher than 6 floors use either a pump or have a water tank on the roof for the water to be sent to the floors above 5th or 6th because of the lack of water pressure to those floors that is Created from Gravity coming from the water tower. gravity that creates the pressure to send it higher through a small diameter pipe placed at or near the Bottom of the holding tank. Then there would be a pipe near the top for overflow and that would send water either back to the canal or to lower elevation areas.

(Some systems use hydropnumatic tanks to store pressurized air and water that can push the water uphill, but this is less efficient and usually reserved for small systems.

Two aspects of this technique have been, and are, used in more modern times. 1) The technique of using water falling down a pipe to capture air was used in the old American West for mining. Most rock drills used compressed air for power, which was usually supplied by a electricity-powered compressor. But there were places with no electricity, but abundant falling water. Enter these 'vertical air compressors' to provide compressed air for the drills. There was also a secondary benefit, in that atmospheric moisture was removed from the 'entrained' air, reducing condensation and rusting problems in machinery. 2) The process of using 'trapped' air bubbles to lift water is used today to make 'waterfalls' in aquariums. Streams of air bubbles from an aquarium air pump are introduced into the bottom of a vertical underwater pipe. This creates enough suction to lift a mix of water and sand, and the cascading sand creates the visual effect of a waterfall under water.

Only small fraction of water goes high do to it takes a lot of energy for tripling potential when there is friction. In a frictionless system it would only take 1 / 3 of the water so it is much lower than that in reality. And about the palaca being 200 m above the river they simply build and canal that comes from far away where river flows higher then the palace. And the preasure from it was not enought which caused them to build a waterwhell powered with animals to pull water up from the canal to increase its potential.

A tromp- It sounds like you're describing a water-based air compressor system, also known as a hydraulic air compressor or a trompe. A trompe is a traditional device that uses falling water to compress air. The basic principle involves water falling through a vertical shaft containing a series of pipes that capture air. As the water falls, it pulls the air down with it due to the Venturi effect. The mixture of water and air is then collected in a lower chamber. The water is typically allowed to exit through the bottom, while the compressed air is collected at the top of the chamber. Trompes were used historically for various applications, including providing compressed air for machinery and for ventilation in mines. They are noted for their simplicity and the advantage of not requiring any external power source, other than the gravitational energy of falling water. Is this the type of air compressor setup you are asking about? If so, are you looking for more detailed information on how it works, its historical uses, or how to build one?

Cause of protection of total energy bith sides must be equal which makes even in a frictionless system water ratio is at least 1 to 3. Rest of the water is taken out by a seperate pipe. Every thing except this is foundable in full version of this video.

It’s essentially a less efficient system for harnessing inertia from the water than a hydraulic ram pump invented a few hundred years later. In this case you are using the falling water's momentum to syphon and dissolve air into the water and flow into a smaller chamber with lift pipe. Once primed sufficiently, the air bubbled carried into the chamber are going to rise. This air sheds some of it's momentum to the water. Once moving the water has a high moment of inertia, meaning it will carry on moving a greater height. Essentially a pneumatic energy exchange through buoyancy. The downside is you will generally need to pour a higher volume of water into the system than will get lifted as the air/water interface is inefficient. Now you can instead harvest the momentum directly by using one way valves and water hammer. Once the water is flowing you slam shut a one way valve. The momentum of the moving water causes a pressure wave propelling the water through the narrow pipe. When the pressure wave subsides the valve is opened and it starts again. The downside is you need mechanical valves and you also need a greater supply volume than pumped volume. However hydraulic transfer of energy is more efficient than low pressure pneumatics so you have less energy loss. Although the fountains are probably more aesthetically pleasing than a ram pump would have been.

It just gets replaced over and over again. So it's also fresh all the time and you could use the water from the reservoirs too. Because it's a self regulating system, it will just fill it self up again and continue pumping. Perfect solution if you want to redirect and use the entire small stream and move it uphill. It kinda does the same thing the water does out there in the nature in hilly areas, moving through slopes and pits. But this one goes uphill 😁 I think it's an amazing, brilliant hack.

Something is off. You must have conservation of energy. The only way I see this "might" work is if more water went down the funnel than what goes up. mgh = mgh, g cancels and: m1/m2 = h2/h1. So if it dropped 1m and went up 6m, then only 1/6th of the water that fell down would go up. And this ignores all kinds of friction losses, which are quite bad in water flows. So it's probably closer to 1/12th of the water could flow upward.

(Meaning this would only make sense near a stream) If you have that, then it would probably be far more efficient to use the running water to turn a screw or paddle wheel that raises the water mechanically and doesn't require vacuums, air bubbles, etc. And that system would be far more dependable.

With this device water could flow down and use this trick to use some of the kinetic energy stored in flowing water to move it higher that it was (also loosing energy and releasing a lot of water elsewhere). Unfortunately this short is manipulative showing small part of big system powered by animals "pumping" water to the "pressure tower" to suggest that this is marvellous system. It is very interesting and whoever invented that was smart but is's nothing really compared what we have today. It's not free energy ;).

This is brilliant, not only because it gives you pressurized water (or air) but because it is effectively a compact version of a trompe, most examples of which use a natural waterfall to create the water/air mixture.

This isn't possible, he's trying to bait you by explaining something that seem logic, but can't work The difference in mechanical energy between before and after cannot be greater than 0. Mechanical Energy = Gravity Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy = mgz + m×v²/2 With m being mass, g the gravitational acceleration, z the height and v the speed If this was possible, we would be massively using it to get used water back in the hydraulic dam to create infinite electricity

For sure there had to be some outflow of waste water to keep the energy conserved so the diagram is not right. But other than that I think that concept of airlift water pump is viable.
@adamhaj3645Ай бұрын
@@jakubjakubowski944It's supposed to use the energy of water to aerate it to go farther. But why not to use it just to be pushed up? If it's not spilling from this bowl, it doesn't have enough energy to pump it up without adding more energy from outside. Air would just separate on both sides of the pipe.

This is part of the bigger system powered by animals "pumping" water higher that the city. The potential energy stored in falling water is then used by this device to raise water a little bit but wasting a lot of energy compared to what we have today.
@connecticutaggieАй бұрын
How the pump at the end works still is unclear to me. It has to obey conservation of energy. Water mass in much match water mass out so the bubble in the water thing is just a distraction. Since there is an elevation increase, that energy has to come from somewhere. My best guess is either the kinetic energy of the water coming in or there was another energy source (like heating the chamber) that someone has not noticed yet.
@chrisglen-smith7662Ай бұрын
If the volume of water entering causing the whirlpool is large compared to the lift pipe and flow and there is an outlet for the excess then the falling water can supply enough energy.

@YadoblerАй бұрын
It's a hyporam. The animation isn't showing a bypass valve where majority of the water flows out and down. This allows the water to build momentum before it abruptly shuts the one way valve, causing a water hammer effect that launches some of the water up. That's why the Whirlpool, to gather a large amount of water to be thrown down. The small pipe is so that the slow large flow = fast tiny flow when the moving water mass is suddenly redirected. That's where the momentum is being conserved Whirlpools actually let air escape, hence allowing for smooth uninterrupted flow - which is important for water hammering (else the air pockets cushions the hammering, losing that precious kinetic energy into heat)

The key to this system is that the feed cistern must be large enough such that the water in it is still enough for long enough for most of the air in it to escape to the atmosphere; ensuring maximum density of water entering the downward pipe where the vortex ensures turbulent mixing; allowing lots of air to enter on its way to the bottom cistern.

A tromp- It sounds like you're describing a water-based air compressor system, also known as a hydraulic air compressor or a trompe. A trompe is a traditional device that uses falling water to compress air. The basic principle involves water falling through a vertical shaft containing a series of pipes that capture air. As the water falls, it pulls the air down with it due to the Venturi effect. The mixture of water and air is then collected in a lower chamber. The water is typically allowed to exit through the bottom, while the compressed air is collected at the top of the chamber. Trompes were used historically for various applications, including providing compressed air for machinery and for ventilation in mines. They are noted for their simplicity and the advantage of not requiring any external power source, other than the gravitational energy of falling water. Is this the type of air compressor setup you are asking about? If so, are you looking for more detailed information on how it works, its historical uses, or how to build one?

It’s not that the water in the smaller pipe was lighter, it’s that the bubbles are less dense than the water and as they rise it pulls the water up with it. The smaller the bubbles and the more bubbles there are the more water it can move.
