Thanks again Mat, another guy has done a model on youtube, in Indonesia this time.
People have done models on at least 3 continents now! North America too.
Maybe soon someone in Academia will do full scale tests so we do not have to guess anymore? There are probably pulser pumps in Australia and Africa too. I sent instructions to people on both continents several years ago.
how did you get the water to "bubble" down the tube? can you make another video how you created the intake and the level it had to be compared to the air hole?
Could you please explain how air is put into the water going downward from the intake pipe into the bubble separation chamber? I don't quite understand how air is induced into the water. Does it just "suck" air into the intake pipe as it descends - or is a there a valve or something in the intake pipe required?
I wasn't quite sure about this bit either. Have you looked at the links in the info box? I think the intake pipe needs to be located just below an overflow pipe or dam wall. If this is too high then it would probably just create a continuous flow of water through the pump with no air. If there is too much air and not enough water because the overflow is too low there may not be enough flow through the pump to work. No valve. Just falling water like a waterfall will suck in air bubbles.
Thank you for your kind words Brian. I think you're invention is amazing. I had never heard of a trompe - or an air lift pump - before. I hope to enthuse others to build these and will post any more useful footage as and when. Mat.

Thank you so much.
It is really good that you have everything visible. You are the FIRST person to post independent proof that the pump works!
(After 20 years of asking university students, and environmental groups and various individuals), This is a very pleasing day indeed!
