@legofunny1 The motor at the top pulls a string, which make the small pneumatic pump at the bottom. It pumps water to the second reservoir, which then goes back to the first.
@MoTheMoProductions Some elements, like the pneumatic pump and tubes, are. Others, like the bricks forming the two reservoirs, were waterproofed by a thin layer of white glue (which turned transparent upon drying) on the inside. This layer, according to the author of the MOC, can be easily removed from the bricks without leaving trace.
@LinkShack The water flows in a closed circuit: the pump pushes it from the 1st container to the 2nd through one of the tubes, then it returns through the other tube.
This is very good, a true water pump rather than a pneumatic piston pressurising a container of water forcing the water out, but doesn't the water damage the small pneumatic cylinder that you are using to pump the water?
@legofunny1
What the heck! U keep repeating the same comments!

Is lego water-tight?

@AVCampos81 Ah i see, nice job on this ;)

there are 2 tubes between the reservoirs and the colours are different, so is the water being pumped from the 2nd pool into the 2nd pool?

Great job btw!!

@technicdesigner I don't think so, since the small pumps have plastic pistons instead of the bigger versions' metallic ones.

Did you use Dye the water? to be blue?
TheTalkingdoggy1 10 months ago
@TheTalkingdoggy1 Yes, the author used food colouring to make the water blue.

Hello functions just like the Waterpump?
please answer fast

It *is* a water pump: it uses a small pneumatic cylinder with water instead of air to continuously pump water between the two reservoirs.
AVCampos81 1 year ago
@AVCampos81 So there is an air pump the water rather than air pumps
I now build me a water pump cylinders with two valves and two pressure check!
as a true piston pump

it works!!!!
is that real wind?

Actually, no. ;) There's a 9V motor at the top, which spins the blades and pulls the long wire that connects to the pump.

Great technic design! Question: Is the pump at the bottom that pumps water a standard Lego pneumatic pump?
Vuurzoon 2 years ago
a small lego pneumatic pump.
i just did this at home, works fine for me,
heres how i did it;
Pump----------> T-section with one tube to the pump, one to the place where you want your water and last for the where you take the water.
