[QUOTE="hutchphd, post: 6551787, member: 635497"] When he built it (1970's) I had never heard of such a thing and was suitably impressed by his engineering diligence (not bad for an MD!). They are decidedly not new, but are very clever. Now there are lots of good explanations online: [MEDIA=youtube]zFdyqTGx32A:10[/MEDIA] The downhill flow builds up until turbulence causes a flap valve to slam shut and it squirts the water hammer into a little local pressurized holding tank via a one way valve. Repeat. He rebuilds it every couple of years and in between it just thumps away like a slightly metallic heartbeat in his little semi-underground spring house. His house tank is about 80 feet above the ram pump. Any overflow pumped waters the garden. [/QUOTE]
