Water Wheel Powered Pond Pump

[theMbc2u]

Im planning on Having a Pond Just got the rock today and while this has power coming from the switch , the rotation May be able to power The Led;s that will Illiminate the Pond for free or technically yh.

what is the gph ?

[DANNYDOC13]

how can you take aninterest to this i'd rather watch paint dry

[theAngelofhevn]

haha that can keep on going like that for ages

[KingObould]

Would it be possible to have a system like this, with no modern day electricity. A pump that draws water from a river, then pours it over the wheel which generates power? And what might it generate power for? And could the pump look like this one just on a larger scale?

[mattiaslindh]

i don't think the poster really meant that the hanp pump drivers the whole action. The hand pump is driven of the waterwheel that itself get water from an electric pump.

And yes you can never gain more energy transforming from another energy source, there is always loss on it's way.

[Dirtboy101]

I don't think this is a perpetual mobile, but more of a gravity powered motor. The gravity pushing down the waterwheel which in turn operates the pump.

[alphaman1101]

YOu proven my concept!

Perpetual energy.

[tutorialhelp4you]

so wait the left wheel powers the pump thats sick!

[naflodi]

if life were like that you wouldnt need Visa.

[winvistainfo]

I like how the video starts with no water running - and suddenly it starts and water begins pumping magically. Almost as if someone turned on the power to the electric pump!

Anyway, looks really cool.

[toxicfrost123]

good job man... what type of pump is that 6v pump? thanks

[AlanMolstad]

an interesting addition to a pond.

Not many guys think of things like this.

[elliottveares]

perpetul motion is unposibel becuse of gravity and friction.sorry it just goes a gainist the laws of physics

[abuthesquishyfrog]

too cool.

[Tmpshop66]

You are so cool!

[Argent009]

Aw darnit! You spoiled it. We all thought you'd invented a perpetual motion device. Stop toying with us like this!> :)

[MCGruntman]

Despite not achieving perpetual motion this time, its still a cool little project. Well done!

[MCGruntman]

People who are curious - the water wheel is not the only power input. Noticed how the pump works before the water wheel starts providing power?

[sosauto]

Right. The 'pump' is merely a decorative piece disguising the PCV pipe that feeds water from the remote electric pump. The water wheel (a basket drive pully from a Kenmore washer) turns the countershaft via string belts. From there wooden push rods move the pump handle. The project took several weeks to get working properly.

@sosauto you did an excellent job

[ProtoCosmos]

You made a water pump? You play great guitar,you rescue animals,nurture them,you watch them grow,you video the splendor of nature,you make water pumps, etc. I'm glad people like you are in the world.

[moscaplateada]

hahaha!!, cool!..

[zida15]

I thought there was no illegal content allowed on YouTube. This seems to break the laws of thermodynamics! :P Very cool though. I've just watched your other videos as well, and I'm already a big fan. Keep amazing us.

[IDontKnowForGodsSake]

did u make that urself?

[Efreetsultan]

hey buddy, this looks like a perpetuum mobile... how does it work? could you explain a little?

[phigraphit]

I wonder how much the materials cost? How long did it take you to put that together?

[cheezwizard]

i dig it.

[deaconkind]

Id buy one of those!!!

[bontafumoffu]

wow thats ingenuity for ya. lol. thats awesome. perpetual motion is great.

[nessdude14]

Wow. you could get that patented and it would probably sell quite nicely. Very nice.

[DAnnien]

Nice! Now you should go invent a water powered vehicle. Hehe
