How to Make Free Energy Water Pump - Ram Pump

How to make a hydraulic ram pump which requires no electricity and no motor.
Things used in my project
NOTE : This pump uses falling water to lift a lesser amount of water to a higher elevation than the source. So, being primarily used for lifting relatively small amount of water to a higher elevation. if you want to deliver 2 cubic meter of water to an elevated location, you need at least 6 cubic meters of water to operate the pump 4 cubic meters of which will be used to drive the pump and goes directly as waste.

This Pump is a cyclic water pump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at one "hydraulic head" (pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic head and lower flow rate.
Applications:
1. Pumping drinking water from streams that have significant slop.
2. Lifting irrigation water from streams or raised irrigation channels.
3.Lifting drinking water from springs to settlements on higher ground.

For all those who don't understand. This is used when an unlimited supply of water is available above the pump. Like a river or pond etc. It is then pumped to higher ground over great distances. It's not high volume but makes up for that by constantly running without using an outside power source. Water is not wasted. It's simply put back into the ground where it belongs. Ideal usage is to pump to higher elevation to a holding tank. Great system.

Thanks, for a great demonstration of how water hammer works. It would be a nice tap water system by the creek.
The amount of water lifted by this device is less than input.
The potential energy of the incoming water plus the wastewater equals the potential energy of the outgoing water in heigh level.

OMG the comments are frustrating, not sure why people who's knuckles drag along the ground when they walk click on non cartoon's on youtube. This pump has been around for a long time and has worked very well for it's application, well done to the person who built this one, it was working beautifully

sir i am calling from india, I made the system and saved 1000 rupi for electric everyday. thank you very much

This is a nice manufacture of an old idea, one of the old family farms in England in the 1800s used a cast iron version of this to get all the farm's water from a lower stream. It's totally free to run, the energy to lift the water comes from the water that is returned to the stream flow. While the flow may be slow, it's running 24/7 so if you over use in the daytime it can catch up in the night.
There really should be an outlet pipe for the water returning to the stream just so that it doesn't damage the foundations of the pump machine.

Aqui no Brasil chamamos de: bomba carneiro.
Realmente funciona! Esta do vídeo está mais bonita do que funcional, o funcionamento é questionável pois a água sai corrente e não pulsativa.
Apesar dos pesares, parabéns pelo vídeo!
Eu gostei e ficou legal!
Congratulations!

This is great I will try this thank you for sharing your ideas, new friend here from Cebu Philippines

You know how much money you can save as a small scale farmer like this. Pair this with a few 12v pumps and some solar panels and there's virtually no limit to how large you can scale this

So the ram pump has to be placed lower than the source? I'm looking for a way to use a ram pump to draw water from a lake

[PBS-nmuu]

can you make a list of all the parts that make up this item ???

[georgeknowles]

These used to quite common where I live. I think that some of them were used in series to reach higher. Not sure how that would work, so I might be wrong. The source was usually a river with a dam providing the water head to run the ram pump. There are remains of some of them still in existence, but not used any more.

Гениально МЛЯ !
Вылить 20л воды с высоты 1м
Чтобы поднять 200гр на высоту 3м
КПД -100%
Это просто шедевр идиотизма !

Thanks for simplifying your video some dum dums don't know how to show their work

Team Ram Cool 😎 long story short! Nice valve! Or if you want to get all science spicey and attract some nerd adore 💕 Them you can explain. NICE VALVE with nice valve(s) control

[DPDK]

The reason this works is the drink bottle at the top of the pipe. As the water siphons from the 5gal jug it fills the pipe and pressurizes the bottle. As the water flows back out the bottom valve, the pressure in the bottle manages to push a small portion of the water through the top check valve. Eventually this will fill the hose going to the tank on the roof. It's limited to the height this would work; at some point the weight of the water going up the hose to the tank would exceed the pressure in the bottle and all the water would then flow out the "release" valve. This works, but it's not "free" energy. Stored potential energy in the water as it falls to a lower gravity state is what drives the system. An Archimedes' screw is far more energy efficient and can pump more volume.

Да, действительно *БЕСПЛАТНЫЙ* водяной насос!

Your video is very good quality. Great sound and picture. Thank you for sharing your experience, techniques, tips and especially your very compelling video. I wish you health and success offline. and soon create many great videos. I support you.

Very nice job because of your vlog tutorial I got some knowledge from you about that your vlog

[sekharda]

Very good.useful to transfer water to overhead tank when electrical supply fails for long periods.
