The 80s pop jam is awesome. I've never bobbed my head to watching a turbine you.

I learnt a lot from this concept.
Many thanks to whoever has prepared this.

It does pump higher than the height of the wheel, depending on how many turns of the pipe there are. Each "gulp" of water, as it spirals to the centre, pushes the gulps ahead of it. The air in between is compressed. In effect, the unit collects energy from the stream ans stores it in such a way as to pump it with pressure, although not much.

When I was in Vietnam in 1967, near Bong Son and LZ Pony, I saw a vertical water wheel about 25 ft in diameter. The current of the river made it rotate. Bundles of hollow bamboo tubes on the periphery of the wheel, acting like buckets, picked up the water, lifted it about 12 feet to the bank of the river and dumped the water into an irrigation channel. The bamboo bundles had to be fixed with the exact correct tilt to not spill the water until they were over the irrigation channel. The whole thing was made of poles and bamboo lashed together and it was running smoothly, powered by the river flow, and with no supervision when we saw it. It was so amazing we risked our lives to stop and look at it. I wonder it's still there.

About half an hour ago out of curiousity clicked on a video with a guy that lives off grid and get's his power from an old washing machine. Now I'm chilling to a nice sound (I actually like the groove as opposed to other commenters 😅) and watching a big yellow contraption pump water to somewhere. Very Cool !

that's some pretty intense music for a video of a spinning wheel.

Came because I was bored, stayed and replayed for the jam

[poopsandwichessss]

+1 for the engineering.
-10000 for the music.

Thanks for teaching me something cool!

[jestoniferrer]

This is the most legit and plausible idea here on youtube.

[ramakrishna]

Very use ful and power saving to farmers.

Dammit everyone hates the music except me. I love it!

i like the Dragonball Absalon music. cool pump aswell.

[gregktm]

Judging by the music, this pumps water to your meth lab.

Einfach und wirkungsvoll. Wer ist das Genie hinter dieser Heldentat?

[robertsulley]

This video is amazing! Interesting pump concept with a banging tune!

[danielgarber]

thank god for the sound track. i couldn't have watched this without that.

I was standing doing dishes, and i thought of something like this, i type in wheel water pump.

Seeing this and knowing its possible from a single thought. thank you.

... Great idea of 'waterwheel', but the music running along the video really can wake up a dead horse - two times! :)

A variation on an archimedes screw with a water wheel. Very energy efficient. Good idea.
