Hey could you please send me some parts ?

[chrisnotap]

@chrisnotap

Could you please send me the whole pump ? But I would prefer to make it faster so it can pump more water and more pressure

[chrisnotap]

It's a vaccum pump.

[joeyhuston]

What did you use to make the small hole in the jar pls?

[chrisnotap]

@joeyhuston I used a carbide tipped drill and some water to keep the bit cool and slow speed.

whats the black thing connected to the jar

[chrisnotap]

@jake13152 there is black silicone holding the jar to the wood, a black hose connected to the brass fitting which is epoxied into the jar and the black rubber diaphragm cut out of a pond liner. I used washers from a car shock absorber, which are con-caved so as to not cut the diaphragm.

@chrisnotap ok thanks

its a windshields wipers motor, i guess. windshields motor??

[chrisnotap]

@mouayad888 yes, it's the motor that drives the wiper arms that we used and experimented with.

[GradyWhite2007]

Seems like a lot of trouble. Just buy a water pump.

[chrisnotap]

what did you use as the pump part? A diaphram set up?

[TheCatMilton]

i made the same thing but the dc 12 v motor runs at 500 rpm and it pumps like crazy

[Mostlyfun]

Umm a windshield washer pump will put out more than that and is cheaper and uses less power.
