Omg I cannot thank you enough for this video!!! I find these pumps to be the most fascinating mechanical device ever made, now thanks to you i can build my own and save a few hundred dollars!!!
@Dieseljonnyboy I tested mine today, it works! Theres so much leakage below the no return valve that I didn't have to add a snifter valve haha! I made a vid of it I'll upload it soon. Now I'm going to build one from metal pipe.
Do you have a video where the hose outlet is higher than the tank? Once the water gets going over the wall it will continue to flow as long as the outlet is lower than the tank.
@AdamCanFly Okay, there seems to be a lot of sceptics out there, i will when i get time set up another demo to show the pump sending water to a greater height. I had know idea that my little video clip would generate so many views. Thanks for watching and your comments.
considering that the resevoir and the wall are at the same height its not very impressive, without the pump it would still seek its level above the wall
@mtororuiz Actually the reservoir was lower then the wall, i don't remember seeing you there, later i used the pump to lift water up to the roof of the house. These pumps have been in use for over two hundred years.
@Dieseljonnyboy Although, most probably those who own the house do not necessarilly have the feeling of joy of life that you have, and in the end, life is a feeling...
great video explains this type of pump just fine. I believe the following equation works out all the required variables: 0.6 x Q x F/E = D
Q is the available drive flow in gallons per minute, F is the fall in feet from the water source to the ram, E is the elevation from the ram to the water outlet, and D is the flow rate of the delivery water in gallons per minute. 0.6 is an efficiency factor and will differ somewhat between various ram pumps.
Good job buddy. However, you are wrong about its inventor.... What the heck do you think the Great Pyramid was? A place to bury dead people.... ROFLMAO! Try a Ram Pump to water the elevated fields from the Nile River. Jew History, Jew Science and Jew Wars sure do dump down the people.
A sarcophagus? ROFLMAO! Just because there is a LARGE undecorated square stone box does not mean its sarcophagus. You are to funny. Stop swallowing the bullshit you are fed. Pyramids have never held dead bodies nor ever had decorations of any kind. They are industrial creations. Let me guess, when the Nile was at the base of the Great Pyramid & flooded the bottom of the Pyramid you still fall for their "professional" bullshit about a Library down there? roflmao!
@parasitesarefunny the decorations were painted on the walls after they were used as pumps? i'm open to other interpretations but i've seen that shit painted and carved into the walls. i didn't see any water erosion either, just square cuts mostly.
Could do with a bit more info. Sounds like your impulse valve is not working properly. I use two different valves; a spring check valve for the non return valve and a swing check valve for the impulse valve. There can be a fair bit of trial and error in setting these things up. I'm no expert, but give me some more info on supply etc, can you post a video og your pump and we can have a better look at whats going on.
I just made one very similar with 2 check valve, but doesn't work, when hits the valve that makes the pump instead of make it continuously it just makes one hit and then stays. Tha provokes the next valve open and continuously pass the water. I need HELP Thanks.
@MyAmericanSafari I can't see why not, the only thing is that you use a lot of water to raise a little. the usual efficiency of a ram pump is 33 percent of the water to the outlet, the rest is used to pump the water up. so you need a large, free supply of water at reasonable elevation to power the pump and supply the water. ram pumps are most effective in very rural areas due to the availability of large free water supplies to power the pumps.
I agree about the steel feed pipe. The advantage of steel is that, as it has no 'give' all. All the pressure is maintained in the water making it more efficient than a plastic pipe which will absorb some of the pressure by expanding a tiny amount. For my use ( and I guess yours too), achieving maximum efficiency isn't as important as cost.
Well your demonstration failed to demonstrate the lifting power of the pump. Since the other end of the hose was lower in height than the source barrel , all that I am able to see by going over the wall is explained by the "siphon effect" .
BRILLIANT MATE!!!

How about if we close the water system/loop ;) ?

the efficiency of a ram pump is usually 33%, idk where you got 10% efficiency from.
