Get Ready For This One *Part 2*

  • Thread starter DjTechnics

In summary, the speaker has discovered a solution to their problem by building a hydraulic RAM pump, which was used 300 years ago to raise water to the surface. The pump has two moving parts and can raise water to a higher level than originally tested. The speaker is now looking to build the pump for under $25 using PVC pipe, but is unsure where to get the necessary valves. A link is provided for more information on the pump, but it is noted that commercial versions are being sold for around $1500.

As i explained in *Get Ready For This* I have found the ultimate solution to my problem. Build a hydraulic RAM PUMP. These pumps were used 300 years ago to use the same water to raise water to the surface. The simple pump uses to moving parts which are a waste valve and an outlet valve into a compressed cylinder up and exerts the water much higher than originally tested! :biggrin:

*Now I need to build it under 25 dollars*
I know PVC pipe is the cheapest but i have no clue where to get these valves or what they really are.

Wish me luck!

This might help (see the link on the page for the details): http://nep.gngateway.org.uk/renewable-energy/renewable-energy-technologies/the-hydraulic-ram-pump [Broken]

These guys are selling them for about $1500, so good luck building one for $25.

Dear fellow scientist,

It is always exciting to hear about new solutions to problems, and I am glad to hear that you have found the ultimate solution to your problem. Your idea to build a hydraulic RAM pump is an interesting one, as these pumps have been used for centuries to raise water to the surface.

However, I would like to caution you that while these pumps may have been used successfully in the past, it is important to thoroughly research and test your design to ensure its effectiveness in modern times. Additionally, I would recommend consulting with experts in the field of hydraulic engineering to ensure the safety and efficiency of your pump.

As for your budget of $25, I understand that PVC pipe may seem like the most cost-effective option, but it is important to consider the quality and durability of materials when building a machine that will be handling water. I suggest researching alternative materials that may be more suitable for your project within your budget.

Furthermore, I would recommend researching and familiarizing yourself with the different types of valves and where they can be obtained. You may also want to consider reaching out to local hardware stores or online retailers for assistance in finding the necessary valves for your project.

I wish you the best of luck with your project and hope that it will be a successful and efficient solution to your problem. Remember to always prioritize safety and thorough research in your scientific endeavors.

Best regards,
