Thank you everyone for helping regarding my project. I have done some more research that's why there was break in replying to this thread. Now I am thinking on different angle and all depends on one assumption that I am going to ask in this thread. Then I will update here some more details of...

Just additional comments that I am not trying to make Perpetual motion machine that is impossible. What I am trying to do is to minimum cost of water lifting. I mean lift as much water as possible by these wheels (electric powered or water powered) and then use traditional pumps for remaining...

You mean that one wheel can lift around 1% of total water flowed under the wheel? Can you copy formula here? I am looking to measure the force of flowing water in these mini canals. For example if canal is 5' wide (or wheel width +1 feet extra) and 5' depth and 10-20' long. We can measure how...

A.T., you gave good idea of Hydraulic ram pump and running wheel with "flowing water/river" and I am thinking to use both as combination. The first priority is to "rotate water wheel" with "flowing water". Now the question is how much water required to rotate such wheel? I mean following: 1...

You pointed a good thing. :) The point where I am seeing a difference between traditional pumps and water wheel idea is the following: 1. Traditional pumps are immediately stopped when power is switched off but wheel is in circular motion so even electricity is switched off then still wheel...

:confused:

Explain with some logic, why its not possible? Shaks

Wheel diameter: 30 meter Water mass: 100,000 kg Speed: 1 round in 10 minutes Driven by: electric motor 100,000 kg water = 26,417 gallon per round (1 gallon = 3.78541 liter/kg) 26,417 gallon / 10 minutes = 2,641 gallon per minute (gpm) I found formula of calculating pump power according to gpm...

I have one project of developing setup to lift heavy water at some height. A setup that take less energy as compare to traditional water pumps. I was searching on net and I found giant "water wheels" of ancient times to lift water. Like this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norias_of_Hama Is...

This one So the reason they need less energy to keep pushing car on ground is because of momentum. What's equation of momentum for linear (this car example) and object moving in vertical circular path? Shaks

This is the easiest answer to understand for a beginner like me. :) Thank you everybody. Shaks

Hi Guys, I am wondering that what physics involved here. 1. Why two men can't lift 2 ton car at 1 meter height but can push same car up to even 1000 meter. 2. At start car push takes much energy but later it requires less energy to push So weight is same but 2 men can't move car vertically...

Clear Can you tell me how to do this? My aim is to calculate power required to move object?

Thank you man, I have learn something by above post. One thing that is "tension", tension is only involved when object is in unified circular motion but tied with cable, rope, rod, etc. In roller coaster example, tension is not involved? In simple words that leads to my project I want to...

Thanks for replying and trying to explain these basics to me. Can you please answer these questions. 1. When we are calculating something on horizontal movement then we say w=mg (Weight = mass*gravity) and when we are calculating something on vertical movement then we say F=mg (Force = mass *...
