WATERWHEEL PUMP

[Conan1981m]

what a waste of pipe .. some little pans in the right shape would lead the water beside in the right height .. so u dont need any pipe at all ...

Just watch old mills .. some are also collecting water and bring it up in a better way then having such a rotational axis for the pipe

Ive seen better ones like that from like 1800 ..

[iulian28ti]

well this is just brilliant. i love the concept. a million thanks for sharing this :)

[WatchNoEvil]

It sounds like it is is calling someone: "Pssst, Pssst, Pppsssssst".

You don't have to so secretive water wheel, you are huge; everybody can see you.

[palmoilasia]

nice work piece

[TheDavidMoskovitz]

Thats a great water wheel!

[wyrrox]

Nice sound!

[sweetjohnny93]

these cows are crafty

[crapthisisalongusern]

What kind of psi we talking here 10...15?

[keraj47]

Bardzo dobry pomysł 5/5

[AForkSpoon]

you could also add a couple more pipes, it would make it heavier but if you used lighter materials you could have multiple tubes filled with water instead of one. in the middle have one way valves into a drum that would empty out as normal.

[AForkSpoon]

you should dam up the river a bit and it will focus all the water on only the paddles giving you better water flow.

[FreddieTL]

can the water come up a hill, 5 times higher than the wheel's elevation?

[turtlemann14]

@FreddieTL probably 4 considering it has 8 windings

[DANNYDOC13]

the only good part i found was the cow at the beginning. it needs to be faster guyssss

[jib1000]

You'd think that if he put the time in to build that wheel he'd make sure the fittings didn't leak.

Nice wheel though, probably keeps the cattle or the garden watered nicely.

[Henzzman]

Hmm,ive seen this kind of setup before.In my country,we used to have similar setups too,in the pastures,where there were streams.The idea was,that this wheel pump pumped water from the stream to the cow drinking tank.

[IP505]

... So thats how they work!

[Stonemagick]

got some sreious leeks in it eh :) But good job mate, works well.

[goodtimesinknox]

Same thing can pump water up hill... : -) Good stuff. Wasn't this used or created in Roman times??

[heltzarr]

wow! Impressive machine!

GJ

[Kosstyan]

Great machine

I'm totally impressed. Waiting for summer to make my own machine :)

[waterworkss]

EXCELLENT!

[Prayerefire]

Why so many turns of hose on the wheel?Wouldn't just one turn achieve the same thing?

[wildeyeUK]

it needs the turns to create the pressure

[bananian]

@wildeyeUK

so like the weight of the water in the hose keeps the water going right?

[mutapopulusnigra]

@Prayerefire ABSOLUTE PWNAGE. you fat fuck trying to be smart and you got handed hahahahahha I bet your the type of fucker that backs down from confrontation like a pussy.

[NolanWRapp]

@mutapopulusnigra

I think your the bigger idiot, he was asking a question out of curiosity, no offensive, harsh language.

Notice the question marks, it means its a question. Now if he said "This is fucking stupid, using a single loop would be way more efficient you fat fuck" I would have to agree with you.

Until then get the hell off the internet

[john1966elliott]

You are bloody big brain clever... Well done!!!!!

[pikeystudmuffin]

A rotary vane

[mignonkiss]

Great. How did you or what did you use to connect the moving wheel hose to the stationary discharge hose. My daughter wants to make something like this for her science class. Thanks

[wildeyeUK]

The hose goes into a hollow axle which connects to the out going pipe via a swivelling joint which basically is a straight plumbers joint which is held stationary.

[productionlab]

great

[Svalir]

That is enormously clever!

hasta cuantos metrso puede subir agua esta cosa es muy buen invento felicidades al inventor excelente maestro

desde mexico les escribo solicitando su respuesta

gracias

[pockarchive]

10 metros?

[oaky132x]

Ok, Nice, but how far uphill can it pump? I'd say no higher than the height of the hose on the wheel......

[mattiaslindh]

oaky132x: actually it can pump much higher than it's own height. I've tried out just rotate a normal garden hose in a creek, maybe 1 foot high. Could pump water 10 feet away and 3 feet height. It's really powerful.

Ok i think it depends on how many rounds you rotate the hose.

[6527mjap]

what a genius idea. very watery though.

good job.

[candr]

LOL By chance are you a reader of the old "Mother Earth News" back when. Looks like some of the things that was discussed there.Excelent job by the way.

[headybrew]

Archimedes would be proud!

[TommeyLeeReed]

cool design.

[Pigcowgreen]

your engineering and math are impressive... or your brute will is impressive as well.

congrats on such a fine machine, i am surpised the egyptions of old did not come up with this. Lack of hoses could be the answer.

[LoneOarman]

Need to work on the seal, or re-enginneer that part of it.

[trailkeeper]

I like how you used a large wheel where the paddles (energy collectors) are far from the axis of rotation, that way a greater torque-turning force is developed, especially with the slow/small water stream.

[trailkeeper]

with a gear or pulley attached to the large wheel, it is possible to turn a generator with a smaller wheel at higher speed.

[hizz2003]

I since found out how it works. Its good. Would not work in Africa though, because rivers flow only for a season or two

[hizz2003]

Interesting! What exactly is turning the wheel continuously for more than a year? I could not see any power supply or cause for wind energy or such. Where is the energy source.

Or is it water flow?

[wildeyeUK]

The power source is in the title

[crazyboyaustin]

@hizz2003 it is a water wheel the flowing water turns the paddles

[tsshanghai]

@hizz2003 What exactly powers ur brain? sorry u dont have one.

[keepirutursi]

@hizz2003

you just prooved that stupidity is really limitless.

[adamson001]

nice job dude;how much time did it take you to built the whole system?

[wildeyeUK]

It took about a couple of days to build

[monrovia3461]

Does water actually come out? No photographic evidence that I saw. What with the cow shots and duck shots, no time left.

[wildeyeUK]

monrvia Go to the other film waterwheel pump refurb and this shot is at the end

[joemc111]

Are you trying to say that all the Coils are making the wheel lift the water higher then the wheel? Maybe 1 times the wheel height for every rap of coil? Joe in Florida

[wildeyeUK]

I'm no expert but the wheel can lift water well above the height of the wheel and its greatest use would be to fill a watertower for irrigation.The hyrdaulic principle gives it the lift. Remember this was only an experiment which I hope others will develop further -Peter

[fredbatmt]

Nice job! I wonder if the additional coils are necessary. Seems like just additional piping and friction. I wonder if you had four individual intakes and pipes dumping water into the outlet pipe would the flow increase quite a bit. Right now, the water is really only being taken into the system during about 1/4 of a rotation. Most of the water lifting occurs too in 1/4 rotation. Just some thoughts but like I said, great job!

[bikersrule07]

thank you pete, for this vidio :)

[toxicfrost123]

think you mite have a leak.

[technoprat]

Nice job,

What rate does it pump at ?

[kool207]

awesome
