FREE ENERGY Water Pump Tested. Is it possible?

A Free Energy Water Pump from 'Learn for Life' is tested. Supposedly it can pump water non-stop without electricity.

Look into the ram pump also called water hammer pump its very interesting

My friend, try this again. You didn't prime the well side of this experiment. There's stored energy if the water is at the valve, second the seal on the bucket has to be tight, third the volume of the water primed in the bucket has to be greater than the pull force of the water in the tube from the well down. That's what causes the siphoning effect and basically the bucket acts as a negative pressure chamber.

[superaquatics]

Its a combination of siphoning & vacuuming not only siphoning. The vacuum created in the container is supposed to pull the water up into the inlet. You are trying to use only siphoning so it cant work unless the source water level is higher than the outlet.
You need to make the output tube much longer to create enough vacuum in the container when the water in the outlet pipe flows out by gravity to pull an equivalent quantity of water back up the inlet pipe to replace the water that has flowed out. Also you could put a one way valve on the outlet pipe to prevent air going up the outlet pipe into the container and messing up the vacuum. They also added inverted jerry cans vertically along the outlet pipe which I think traps any air bubbles moving back up the outlet pipe thus preventing the vacuum in the main tank from getting messed up like it did in your experiment. Another thing I feel the main tank should be big enough to hold enough water & high enough to create a strong pressure on the outflow which will also prevent air getting sucked up into the outlet pipe.
Please give it another try with these suggestions and let us know if it works or not. Thanks.

Many commenters criticise here, that what is shown in this video does not replicate the pump designs which are shown in many YT-videos presently. True, but this is irrelevant. Laws of physics allow us to predict the outcome of experiments without doing them. And it is obvious that this pump design can not work, never mind, what dimensions of pipes, what valves, what barrels are chosen. If this pump would work, you could at once build a perpetuum mobile with it. Let the water flow back in the well and run a turbine by this water stream. You would get electrical energy out of nothing, without any input of energy, which is not possible. An exception: if the outlet is lower than the water level in the water source, water will flow by the siphon-effect, but this needs no barrel but just a hose prefilled with water.
It is a mistake to think because there is much water in the barrel the outflow must be strong enough to generate a vacuum strong enough to "suck" water out of the well. It is the relation of water- and air-pressure which is relevant here. And since water pressure is higher at the bottom of the well than at the bottom of the barrel, a vacuum building up would first prevent a water flow at the output before it was strong enough to bring water up from the well.

The final conclusion of this video is correct. *This pump does not work.* If it is shown working, you see a fake.

What I see, with the lid on the bucket it makes it a closed system, your demonstrations were all open systems, seem like this could make a difference. Just thinking :)

[seetheforest]

I like how the ones who are fooled by the video will argue that you didn't make the model correctly. ...The pipes are the wrong size, the inlet isn't primed, the water is the wrong temperature, the coloring in the water throws off gravity....
You did prove one thing.

You can't fix stupid.

You forgot the check valve at the foot of the pickup pipe. Also, the container used to prime the pump has to be airtight. This "pump" relies on the vacuum of water leaving the airtight priming container to draw water up through the pickup pipe much like you sucking on a straw to get water out of a glass. The check valve makes sure there is always water in the pickup pipe as you want as little fluid level drop as possible in the main priming chamber. Have one of these pumps setup to water my raised planters and the shelf planters under them. The prime unit is 55-gallon plastic barrel and the tank it's drawing from is 350 gallons. Another example of how this works is the old pool filter system we use to have. The pump wasn't strong enough to pull water from the pool and through the filter unit, so we put a small tank on the pump side of the filter unit for the pump to draw from. As it did so the air pressure drop allowed the water in the pool to be sucked up and through the filter unit to then feed into the tank the pump was pulling from. This allowed us to ditch the massive AC powered pump the pool came with and use a much smaller DC pump that used solar panels and battery setup to run. Our pool stayed clean with this system until a tree fell and smashed the pool.

You are losing your vacuum. Air is getting sucked into the bucket, hence the gurgling sound. You need your outlet pipe to be much longer with an air trap to prevent the loss of vacuum and a one way (or foot) valve on the intake so that water cannot flow backwards. Also, this pump is a vacuum pump, so the larger you can get your vacuum vessel, the better off you should be. It is the difference in the weight of the water in the vessel to the weight of the water in the intake pipe that causes the draw, in principle.

[danieljonhson]

I've actually tried to build one of these water pumps and it worked great, you have to make sure the container is air tight and use a check valve on the inlet tube so the water from the source can't go back out.
When you start letting the water out it creates a vacuum drawing water in and the check valve only lets it flow in one direction.

[qrunsel]

We just did this, and it does work. I don't know what you did wrong, but we used smaller pipes and made sure everything was sealed.

[ronaldrealino]

Have to prime the inlet pipe using foot valve and install bigger pipe on the outlet to carry much water volume. The weight of the water will create vacuum inside the tank.

[yanchen]

Attention people in the comments. This is the kind person who doesn't follow instructions and goes out of their way to miss inform people. Don't waste your time here.

[hendral.]

my father just fall for the "free energy water pump". I hope he wouldn't make one. If not he will just waste his time and things to make the thing. I tried to convince him, even make a mini experiment to prove. But he still don't believe me. He said, the glue not tight enough etc. Im so sad now.

[PERLAS-NG-SILANGANAN]

Sorry to oppose your view but this kind of system really works. The VACUUM force created inside the water tank air closed, causes the water to flow freely while sucking the water from the source which is literally lower than the exit or output. However, if not properly made the system needs to be restarted to let it works again.

[sylver]

The problem is the buckets you are using. They are NOT, I repeat, they are NOT sealed containers. Air does come in under the lid. You also have to have more water in the bucket than what is being pulled (by vacuum in the bucket) and pushed (by atmospheric pressure outside) otherwise it won't make enough of a vacuum . The weight of the water inside pulling a vaccuum and the atmospheric pressure working together should easily make the water move, and nothing seems to go against thermodynamics as the initial energy input is the water flowing out, drawing a vacuum which creates the atmospheric difference that makes the water come up the pipe. Seems rather simple and obvious to me...

[CDragonSMOK]

1- on start of the intake tube or sucking tube in water sorce U need one way valve.
2- U need a pressure "tower" like in ram pomp.
3- the "sucking" pipe cross-section has to be smaller
4- the length of output pipe is not less than 5 metres
and then you are good to go ;)

[adamderbent]

By emptying big drum (big bucket) you create vacuum on the inlet. Vacuum then suck water from low level into drum. Can it work?

[DeepWatersM]

You should try again. There can be no leaks, there must be valves involved, the bucket must be solid (or it will collapse), intake pipe size should be smaller than the output pipe, output needs more length to generate head pressure, you need 1 or 2 air pressure/capture reservoir on the output side, and you need a 1 way valve at the bottom of the intake.

[ratuose]

YOU DIDN'T ADD THE "ONE-WAY" STOP VALVE at the water source and have that also filled up with water to lock the air so that the AIR PRESSURE os built up in the big bucket to havr the vacuuming/ duction effect, brah. Please don't be so hasty to ecplain away why things didn't work when you actually left out one of the most critical pieces of the entire setup.

[tamurichards]

Myself did it differently and it didn't work, until I did it properly by having a longer exit pipe and it work, infact if it starts to work the pressure is going to compress the plastic bucket. It works and I'm going to do it this time around using bigger drums and better fittings.
