That's simply a thermosyphon pump, first time I've seen it put to use like this though. If you used thin copper tubing it should improve the efficiency because it transfers heat much more efficiently. The thermosyphon principle was use on early cars to keep the engine cool before waterpumps became common place, hence the reason early cars had tall radiators. Keep up the good work mate, I'm always an interested in what you will come up with next.
@Hephera7 жыл бұрын
it operates on the same principle as a thermosyphon but i wouldnt say it is one. this design makes multiple loops of heating and cooling in order to maximise the amount of water pumped through the system, wheras thermosyphons are designed to uniformly heat or cool a volume of water, theyre not specifically for pumping water

Early domestic central heating systems used thermosyphon. The water would be heated by the kitchen range or by a boiler built into the back of a coal fire. The water would thermo syphon first to a coil heat exchanger in the upstairs hot water tank to heat then round the house visiting radiators before returning to the best source. The advantage of having no need for electricity was likely more significant than having no moving parts (apart from the human shovelling the coal). Next innovation was a pump to feed the radiators, but where the hot water tank was above the heat source there was still no need for that circuit to be pumped. Turning the pump off effectively prioritised hot water over room heating. And finally, a car with an electric fan and electric water pump still uses the thermosyphon effect whenever the pump is off; ditto if it has an electric fan and you remove the water pump (don't do this in hot climate, but useful to speed up engine warm up and small efficiency saving in cold climate)

@PaulPaulPaulson7 жыл бұрын
You should give it a phase shift, because you want heat on the way up and cold water on the way down, but you can only apply heating/cooling over time which is basically the derivation of the temperature. The warmest spot should be somewhere on the front but not all the way at the top so that the warm part does not extend to the backside that much. The loops should be on the back side before they reach the top and they should get back to the front before they reach the bottom. The amount of optimal phase shift depends on how fast the water is moving and how fast the heat is exchanged, so your idea with the heat exchanger should help. Of course, a 90° phase shift (top half in shadow, bottom half in the sun) wouldn't start running because the water wouldnot "know" in which way to flow. But the best value should be much smaller anyways. After all, your heat exchanger might be enough but it's always nice to know about the control engineering theory behind it 😉

Cody, Back when I was in high school (1992-95) I was involved in the Electrathon America project, where schools across the nation would build and race electric powered race cars for an hour, and whoever had the most laps would win. I was the head designer, driver and test driver, and did some of the electrical work on my vocational school's newest car. We ran 2- 12volt car batteries to power a 5.1hp electric motor, on a lightweight chrome-moly tube chassis, and I personally got it up to 50mph before hitting a thermal and power drop off. The main problem we had was the electric motor would get deadly hot, and after I graduated and left the project, someone actually fried the motor. The administrator of the school and supervisor of the project heard that another school tried to use direct application of dry ice to cool their motor, but it ended up seizing it. So I had a solution that I thought would work, but was vetoe'd and I'd like to know what you think about if it would work, since the idea I had is very similar to what you do in this video. First off, I'd put an insulated cooler behind the seat of the car, with a coil of copper tubing with semi-loose coils going from one side to the other at the bottom of it. I would run the ends of the coil through the insulation of the cooler, sealing the holes so it didn't leak, and then do a tight coil around the motor housing. So it would be two coils in a closed loop (also thought of a small DC pump in line), one massive coil in the cooler, one tightly wound around the motor. I would then fill the cooler with ice water and/or dry ice, and fill the copper tubing with water. The idea I was thinking of would be that the heat of the motor would conduct to the copper coil wrapped around it, heating the water. The heated water would push the water in the tubing into the part of the coil in the chilled/cold water, and circulate itself through the closed loop, bringing chilled water back to the motor to exchange temps. So not only would it circulate itself, but would also act like a heat sink to drain heat from the motor. Mind you, the motor temps would easily go over 150F, and I recall it once getting to 195F when you could smell burning varnish. In the end, the administrator freaked out over dry ice being used at all, despite him bringing a cooler full of it on race day. So we made some quick modifications and ended up putting a duct under the car, up through the back to blow directly over the motor. I don't think it did squat to cool things. So the day I raced it, which incidentally was the day of my graduation commencement, it was cool and rainy, I got the car up to 45mph and held second place for most of the race, and then the batteries completely lost juice, and I limped across the finish line at the end of the hour. I think if the motor kept cool, it wouldn't have drawn so much power to the point where the batteries were pretty much done. I wish I had pictures, but imagine a 4 wheeled go kart on BMX wheels, disk brakes, a roll bar, motor in the back linked to the rear axle with a chain, and 2 car batteries behind a sheet metal "seat". So would it be possible for the cooling setup I describe to cool an electric motor like that effectively for 1 hour and not cause a massive draw of amps from the batteries? I'd like to put to bed the idea that it would have worked if the damn knuckle head admin would have listened to me instead of freaking out. Also, it would probably be a good bit of science to demonstrate since it is a very similar idea to what you show in this video.

I had a discussion with a friend of mine who goes to MIT about the fountain. He said the physics wouldn't allow it to work, and I agreed with him. However I asked him if it was possible to use physics to beat physics and make it work. His answer was no. I believe you have done just that. While many people look at heron's fountain as a perpetual motion machine, I don't care about that. I just care about going from lower to higher ground overcoming the force of gravity using just physics, and nature. I absolutely loved this video.

. There are a few aspects of this I don't understand. But I think I understand most of the important parts. I have a few suggestions that look very good to me. Use metal tubing. Metal is more thermal conductive and could take higher temperature, you could paint it black on the side facing the sun. Around this metal tubing build a hot box. reflective like iron or aluminum foil? (Not black, thus the light hits the water twice and doesn't heat the back side as much) material that curves concavely inwards focusing the light and thus heat on the tubs. Maybe metal around the one side also that it could hold more heat and heat up. The glass would also curve acting like a magnifying glass on the tubes. Then good insulation between the front and the back side. The net effect should make one side considerably hotter, making for a much greater temperature differential and you'd use less tubing, more of the surface area would be focusing the heat thus less water to move and thus taking less energy to move it. On the back side, the tubs (still metal would be some distance away from the surface) could have a wind fan. Put a fan on a high poll above any obstacles to wind, like surrounding houses, trees etc. Connect it via belt to another fan blowing below the device pushing the heat away. (top fan is turned by wind, bottom fan is turned by the top fan) Alternatively the whole thing could be high up capturing more sun and wind, like your roof. Would it still work if it was all horizontal? Because horizontal on the roof would maximize the amount of light caught for the longest period of time. Please let me know if you've read this. I know this video is like a year and a half old or something, do you read comments of old videos? If someone else reads this, how might one send a message like this so that Cody might read it?

Heat pipes aren't just straight up copper tubes. The magic happens inside of them. If my memory serves me right there's some kind of capillary action going on in these things.

Cody, this is very close to the concept of the fluidyne pump, maybe somebody told you that already. Only in a fluidyne pump, you use an air tight top on your u shape with some air in it and this air tightness added with the heat provided on one side will start making the water oscillate at a high pace. Then, you can pump up to 20 feet. The thing is, research has so far proven you can transfer only about 5% of the heat energy into actual mgh energy due to pumped water. Say you wanted to produce electricity this way by making a micro pumped hydro plant yourself. You would need basins, pumps of this type of a really fair size, tubes, a turbine and a lot of square meters of thermal solar panels. 50hz or 60hz AC is achievable by turning the turbine on when the top basin is full enough. 24h electricity production can be achieved through hot water storage. You will need at least 4 times more surface in thermal solar panels than you would need in PV, and even more so if you want to store energy for the night, but this type of installation is feasible on a DIY scale. Toughest part being the turbine, which i'd buy. FYI, fluidyne pumps are only another type of stirling engine.

Odd Ryan Think of it this way: The water on the cold side is heavier than that on the hot side, due to their difference in density. Let's say you're looking at it from the side so that the cold water is on your right and the hot is on your left. Since the water is heavier on the right, all the water will rotate clockwise, with the heavier (cold) water moving toward the bottom. If we start out with the cold water on the bottom, the system would already be in equalibarium, and the water would have no reason to move. Hopefully that made sense haha.

they work by the water hammer effect. the momentum of the fast moving water and a closing check valve causes a spike in pressure ( water hammer) this pressure is trapped on one side of the pump with a check valve. the pressure causes the water to be able to pump to a higher level then the supply water but with a sacrifice of less volume. would still be fun to see Cody make one though

its simple momentum, using the energy of flowing water. Just the same as a 1kg weight on earth sitting still pushes down with 1kg, but if you let it move quickly(drop it from some elevation) and try to stop it in a short space you will find it generates much more than 1kg of force for that short distance. Set a hammer on a nail and nothing, move the hammer quickly and then stop it with the nail and the force is high enough to push the nail into wood, actually about the same peak force that a hydraulic press would need to slowly push the nail into the wood. Energy over distance.
@ALegitimateYoutuber7 жыл бұрын
if static electricity can attract water why not use something along that idea. Thus create a static force around the tube that can be toggled on and off, and have it operate similar to a coilgun. That should be more effective and also allow to to teach and show off a few more things. Plus it also maybe possibly wont have any moving parts as well.

Hi Cody. I'm not sure if this idea would meet your criteria, but you could shrink the pump a ton if you are willing to let a little water boil. If you used a small solar concentrator (either a lens or a mirror) to heat up a reservoir you could push a relatively large amount of water through a capillary tube in a few minutes just like pushing a piston in a steam engine. You might also have some control over when it is circulated by adjusting the positions of the solar concentrator and reservoir. You might control the amount of water to be circulated by adjusting the length of the capillary tube. Your brine shrimp colonies are coming along great. Keep making videos!

Maybe take the feed reservoir out of the hot sun and start with cold water . ? Place it just below the top of the tubes and reduce the hight of the tubes by increments so that its siphoning more and pumping less ? Pull it to the final push ? Use a rifled tube to enhance the fluid dynamics and rate of flow. Taper it from broad at the begining of down flow to narrow at the top of the up. More volume in the shade to cool faster and add mass to the down cycle of the down / up balance . ( or one long tesla valve with two chambers ? ) picture two tesla valves in a tube styled like a dna strand. . I enjoyed your video. Thank you. There is a quote somewhere by someone that says ' would the person who says its impossible shut up and let the person actually doing it get on with doing it . I like your style . Dont wait around for the perfect pen to be delivered so that you can draw the pencils on your table . 😉 when people say it isnt an efficient way of doing something i always ask them if its more efficent than not doing it at all. Your pump is 100% efficient. It pumps 100% more water than a pile of parts .

Wouldn't a system with a winding wire in the back and then a winding wire in the front work better? It would simulate a long pipe in cold and a long pipe in heat and would spare the large number of temperature changes.
@Crazy_Diamond_757 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately... no. Every turn in the pipe has to have a corresponding temperature change. Otherwise the two sides of the turn will cancel each other out. Simplify it down to his original example with one bend and a length of pipe on either side. If both sides are warm then there's no height differential between them. If you were then to chain a bunch of those together everything will cancel out and you won't have any head at all.

Put multiple loops inside that come out the top and then loops on the shady side to radiate away heat. Rather than plastic tubing Copper has better thermal conductivity and higher pressure capacity, perhaps a heat sink attached to the loops on the back to help radiate the heat back into your box or into the atmosphere. A check alive to stop r𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 flow as the sun goes away. More volume could be achieved with a lager diameter. Simpler perhaps than each loop entering and exiting the box on each circuit, this seems like it would inhibit efficiency over all.

We actually used to use something like this in ponds. But we used a horizontal coil in the pond and another just above the surface and backed it like you with a black panel. It was simply to generate a little water flow during the summer as the ponds would stagnate in the heat once algae blooms kicked in. My dad knows the exact technique I think but I think I could work it out with a few hunded dollars of pipe.

Sounds like a copper heat synch of some sort, or copper pipe in the shadow, may be good for the cooling areas, with a certain amount of fluid dribbling over the copper for further heat removal. Not to over complicate it. XD But thank you for the ideas Cody. Now to watch the last bit of the video.

Same thing in an ammonia/propane refrigerator. Cap the two vessels and plumb a tube between the air space to profit from vapor pressure differences. Keep one vessel cooler than the other . You could possibly try a reed valve somewhere to produce hammering to increase flow rate possibly. I've pondered similar ideas for connecting stock tanks together and using a geo thermal loop to keep them flowing, one to another to keep the water warmer than freezing in the winter, and cooler in the summer.
