First water pump in world

[newage4energy]

I drank Perrier water that said Hanibals soldiers drank from the same wells. Didnt mention pumping though. Guess Archimedes is still the front runner.

[pepenabor]

this is not the first pump... DUMBASS!

[sailingsolar]

The ancestor of the modern force pump—which features a cylinder with a plunger or piston at the top that creates a vacuum and draws water upward through valves at the bottom--was reputedly designed by Ctesibus of Alexandria, Egypt. Vetruvius mentioned this device, as he did the saqiya, in his first century B.C. chronicles. Muslim, heritage? Look at what their doing today. Killing innocent women , children and civilians. SS

[gibbo1112]

@sailingsolar thats a bit of a massive generalisation there doncha think?

[sailingsolar]

@gibbo1112 Yes it is, you are right! Certainly. My apologies. SS

[732ChMartel]

Water pumps have existed long before the Muslims. Ctesibus, a Greek from Alexandria invented one, as well as a pump for a water organ, in the second century B.C. Archimedes was another Greek who invented a screw design for raising water.

[aserta]

it was greeks who first made pumps. also the oldest known form is the rope pump. not a mechanical suction based device...srsly who lied to you?

[kleinjahr]

Water wheel driven Ctesiphon force pump. Also see Hero of Alexandria.

[kleinjahr]

Water wheel driven Ctesiphon force pump. Also see Hero of Alexandria.

[yummypaint]

this pump was made by humans

[kjaks]

The first water pump in the world was based on an combustion engine? LOL

[notoriouslizw]

This pump looks too complicated to be the first pump ever.

[EmperorOfMars]

Muslim Heritage? I'm almost certain the first water pump was Greek.

[hogi90]

nice pump whoever made it i think that they were human, no?

[fcdog555]

I would give credit to the first water pump to Archimedes; albeit, his device wasn't a pump per say.

[happyfox711]

nice animation, but if you're so keen on linking the first pump to a certain race or religion, I think you're lost, and everything over here - china did before us(muslims AND christians) also the subterranian chamber in the pyramid probably was a ram-pump so the pharaos also beat us to it, but i'm sure you can be proud of your ancestors without making a competition about it, can't you?

[gaiatechnician]

Good pump and excellent animation. Anyone interested in lower tech pumps, please check the pulser pump and the fermentation powered pump.

Both pumps have no moving parts.

The fermentation powered pump is very new, and made for low lift recirculation type jobs so it would be good if someone else made one too.

Thanks

Common Christians, stop giving the muslims a hard time and give respect where respect due.

From a European Christan

[Ryandavis33]

not even close to the first water pump...sorry

[corthew]

I'm fairly certain the first waterpump was an Archimedes screw.

[22mohamido]

IAM MUSLIM AND IAM PROUD !!!

SINCE MY BIRTH TILL MY DEAD !!!

[candr]

Actually I would think that would be Ctesibus in the third century Greek who was known as the "father of pneumatics."

[nonenone41]

the beauty of the pumpis that it runs on the flow of a river, thus there is no need of a pimemover or any animal to make it go round. Athough the efficiency have to be compromised but the energy for drivng the pump is available free of cost.

[thatotherguy27]

I hold the same opinion towards Islam that I hold toward all other religions: religion is not for me.

I don't know much about water pumps (Archimedes' screw maybe?), but I do know that during the so-called "dark ages", traditional science flourished in the predominantly muslim middle east. It took europe a while to catch up.

[Brainiaccccc]

Oil pump?

[acerkiwi]

first pump was a bucket nice try

[azzy314159]

These fucking muslims always have an islamic finger up their smelly anuses.

[corthew]

@azzy314159 Assholes are haters dude.

Are you a hater?

[crazysili]

@azzy314159 beetje jammer dat je alleen negatief over islam praat op youtube.

ik heb je net een bericht gestuurd met mijn adres. ik zou zeggen kom bij me en zeg het in mijn gezicht wat je hier typt.

[azzy314159]

@crazysili Ek het niks beter om oor enige godsdiens sê. Ek dink, en my verstand vertel my dat alle godsdiens is snert. Jy weet dat ek nie kan neem jou Challange, as jy geweet het dat ek sal kom, sal jy twee keer dink of selfs ses keer voordat jy jou mond geopen.

@azzy314159

is dat nederlands?

[ThePopypete]

I AM NOT AN MUSLIM EXTREAMEST LIKER BUT I AM AN MUSLIM LIKER YOU HAVE TO HAND IT TO THOSE GUYS THAY HAD A GOOD THING GOING BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS SOME REALY CLEVER DUDES

[stickytwat]

Archimedes designed the first water pump - The archimedian screw!

[smittieh]

So it uses hot air to expand in the cilinder and push the piston/drives rod? And the valves automatically close because of under and over pressure and they can go 1 way only?

[qfanization]

@smittieh man i didn't understand what ur saying when u say" So it uses hot air to expand in the cilinder and push the piston/drives rod?"

cant it just use any force to drive the piston like water flow.?

i

[RestauranteChines]

cool

[Zmitc002]

It works like a heart/ combustible engine.

[bosatsu76]

I know that tyranny of thought weakens, not strengthens you. I know that nature is healthiest when it is rich in diversity. If nature is the will of Allah and it is best when it is diverse, then it seems that civilization is best when it is diverse and worst when it is controlled by ideologues. By threatening people with pain for independent thought, you eliminate diversity. Wahhabists spend Billions of dollars on schools and teach nothing of diversity to the young. This will, in the end fail.

7. Optics

dismissing Euclid and Ptolemy’s theories that light was emitted from the eye itself. This great Muslim physicist also discovered the camera obscura phenomenon, which explains how the eye sees images upright due to the connection between the optic nerve and the brain.

[fctchk]

@Kenarah There is no such thing as a "Muslim physicist" just as there's no such thing as a Christian, Hindu or Jewish physicist. There is no such thing as Muslim science just as there is no such thing as Christian, Hindu or Jewish science. Scientific discoveries are made through application of the scientific method which not only has nothing to do with religion but runs counter to it. Indeed when science and reason is applied to religion it exposes religion for the palpable nonsense that it is.

[Kenarah]

@fctchk

but in Quran befor more than 1400 years ago God tolds about the beads of mountins and the stages of creation of human in a womb and the orbits ..not the science ..

[gollumondrugs]

@fctchk I think he is just talking about an idividual who happened to be muslim. Don't be so paranoid.

[Kenarah]

6. Optics

“Many of the most important advances in the study of optics come from the Muslim world,” says Hassani. Around the year 1000 Ibn al-Haitham proved that humans see objects by light reflecting off of them and entering the eye,

[bosatsu76]

Ctesibius, a Greek in the 2nd century b.c.e is credited with the first mechanically operated water pump. Slightly before Islam's time but don't let the facts get in the way of your agenda.

But that post about Mesopotamia is interesting. I will look for that.

Either way, rewriting history is no longer possible with the internet (a Muslim invention, I am sure).

[Kenarah]

@bosatsu76

1. Surgery

Around the year 1,000, the celebrated doctor Al Zahrawi published a 1,500 page illustrated encyclopedia of surgery that was used in Europe as a medical reference for the next 500 years. Among his many inventions, Zahrawi discovered the use of dissolving cat gut to stitch wounds — beforehand a second surgery had to be performed to remove sutures. He also reportedly performed the first caesarean operation and created the first pair of forceps.

[Kenarah]

@bosatsu76

10. Hospitals

“Hospitals as we know them today, with wards and teaching centers, come from 9th century Egypt,” explained Hassani. The first such medical center was the Ahmad ibn Tulun Hospital, founded in 872 in Cairo. Tulun hospital provided free care for anyone who needed it — a policy based on the Muslim tradition of caring for all who are sick. From Cairo, such hospitals spread around the Muslim world.

[zostedguy]

Great Pyramid pump a wee bit older . . . and have running model.

[bobbysam232]

that looks complicated.. lol

[BlkSun865]

And it was used to drown little girls who wouldn't have sex with Mullahs, right?

[fairyheli2]

wasn't the first water pump a bucket?

[tjinga2u1]

@fairyheli2 well a buckets technicaly not a pump your just pulling a pump is a macine that pulls the water out of a source

[YoLninYo]

muslim din't invent ied jacket... they too stupid they get jacket from china, detonators from japan, explosive from israel and all electronics from chine too... only thing they is producing now is foolish and desperate young men who think they is doing service to their religion ... what a shame

[pickford7812]

@YoLninYo Excellent grammar skills!

[BeachCory]

The Mesopotamians invented the first pump about 3000 B.C.

Who were the Mesopotamians?

[UFOMAN618]

shit go one way,..

[hawkermustang]

It is a shame Muslims can only invent IEDs now.

[partsproduction]

murdering muslim devils. Whatever good they ever did is infinitesimal compared to the evil they commit on people better than they are.

[iamsnail]

masha allah.

[cat2cube]

what did they use as a sealant in the piston?

[sabriath]

@cat2cube : probably the same things they used to seal boats....tarlike compound.

[nbaietti]

LOVED THE EXPLANATION!!!!!! thank you!

[SpencahD]

The capillary action in plants predates any mechanical pump (Used with a piece of string)

[davemisme]

I think he meant to say, that after centuries of other countries having water pumps, this was the first water pump designed in a muslim country. it is technically advanced over other designs, but is also very inefficient.

[KippurCatArts]

LOL

[westkan]

Looks like this is off from being 1st. by several centuries, beaten by the shadoof & the Archimedes water screw. Nothing personal as, I undertand that engineers, scholors of Muslim faith both accepted for fact scientific discoveries of the ancient world, and discovered others in their own right while the Christian leaders rejected both , along with the work of Christian scientists.

[westkan]

Not I have the facts to argue it, I suspect the first water pump was human powered.

[FritzBishop]

what materials would i need to build this, and how hard would they be to find?

[rimfa123]

You wouldn't be able to, it's a flawed design, i'd suggest a replica of the real first water pump. (Not Muslim designed) There are some pretty impressive manuel Roman ones, or the British steam engine.

[x2xHalox2x]

Genius... im making it 2morrow.... tx

[CakesPix]

mr Al Jazir did some of the first egyptian work in pumps but i think water was first POWERED uphill by screw pumps.

nice vid but too short

[hkstyle818]

first water pump is not this one, 1st one is the steam pump invented in england.

if you build the pump shown in video out of wood, the fitting at piston will be so bad that it wont even suck any water up, because wood have small flexibility under stress, and is subject to wear very easily.

[s103045]

very rightly said !!! sir

[rock3tcat]

I assume you are joking. xD

[westkan]

1st. the water pump clearly predates both the 1 presented here & the 1 you proclaim as being the 1st.. Hopefully no 1 will ever have to depend on U in a pinch to come up with something, as U too easily discount wood as a building material. take note that a tree trunk is a natural piston & strongest in compression. Ad far as wear goes wear can be dealt with by easily replace consumable items that wear faster than the wood would wear.

[coolfukindude]

that pump was made of chapati and a bit of explosive

[desiredusername]

Hero of Alexandria was a muslim scholar?

[BlizBob]

Aparently... well we europeans have distorted the history sooooo much.

I bet if we check hard enough we will find that some muslims went to moon in 11th century...

[Summoning91]

muslim went to the moon in the 11th century?

never heard of that one LOL

[Zmitc002]

@BlizBob Wanna bet?

[mohamed19923]

@BlizBob Our religion encourages us to do all of that :)

[angelo270696]

@BlizBob no, but they did build heat seeking missiles, repeating crossbows, computers capable of multiple functions, robots that could walk and attack, and cannons capable of modern day attacking force.

[lio0onheart]

it was for a muslim designer .

but it wasnt the first one

it was a modern one

[Basta11]

I don't think that's the first water pump, there are far simpler pumps like the ram pump. but it's pretty awesome, I'd have to say.

[shole0306]

nice but we need to rise again muslims should be back on track

[hybaj]

Less religion bullshit and more work ....

[Kenarah]

@hybaj

When Muslims were real religious people their minds created real knowledge, but now Muslim's minds is full of democracy !

[bosatsu76]

@Kenarah Actually, it was when Islam over-ran some area and forced all to become Muslim or die, the scholars and inventors said 'yea whatever' and kept working. Two generations later the grandson was an idiot with mush for brains from memorizing the great words of Mao... I mean Mohamed.

If Muslims were democratic, they would allow diversity of thought and it is diversity that opens paths unseen to others. They are so afraid of any deviancy from the party line that they will never be scientists.

[Kenarah]

@bosatsu76

So where was the inventions and the discoveries from Christians in Europe before Islam !!!! the Pops considered inventions and knowledge a crime that's why they call it DARK AGES ..Islam was the light that came to Christians ...the Soap that you are washing your filth with it is an Islamic invention ...congratulation for Tali fahima the Zionist who reverted to Islam now a days without a force !!!

[bosatsu76]

@Kenarah I did not defend the Christians in my post. While they were burning books and scientists, Islam was protecting the worlds knowledge. This is a fact that I am happy to acknowledge.

But I resist rewriting history. To claim a Muslim scholar designed this without giving credit to all the pumps that he had around him to look at is to give credit where it is not due. Truth is very important and even tiny lies will add up to weaken humanity just as a tiny leak will sink even a large ship.

[Kenarah]

@bosatsu76 “1001 Inventions” is now an exhibition at London’s Science Museum. Hassani hopes the exhibition will highlight the contributions of non-Western cultures — like the Muslim empire that once covered Spain and Portugal, Southern Italy and stretched as far as parts of China — to present day civilization

[bosatsu76]

@Kenarah you should really do a short search before you claim everything as a Muslim invention. Babylon, 2800 bce... First mention of soap, Egypt 1500 bce... used extensively by even the common worker. I don't doubt that China had it as well as India long before Islam arrived to claim everything as its own.

And don't talk to me about filth. You are still digging shit out of your ass with your fingernails. Or did Islam invent toilet paper too?

[Kenarah]

@bosatsu76 the nail cutters who invented that you filthy mind ..why didn't you filthy ansisters bring the soap from china , becaase the were so filthy and stiuped to wait for muslims to bring it to them !!!

talking filthy is easy but talking with reason is a hard thing for a filth jew like you ..read your talmud and you will find some really filthy stuff..

[bosatsu76]

@Kenarah I see you can dish it out but you can't take it. You can refer to 'my' filth but when I send it back, you go off like a volcano. It's a good thing Islam is so peaceful or there would be trouble.

[Kenarah]

you started making fun of Muslim minds ,so you deserve what you had ..I didn't get you wrong ..most of the westerners trying to degree Muslims and their contribution in developing the world so that the westerners can be the masters of our world ..

[bosatsu76]

@Kenarah I was not making fun of Muslim minds, I was making fun of rewriting history. That we are not allowed to do anymore. Islam spent billions of comparable dollars during its golden age buying, protecting and assimilating the knowledge of an entire world. For that, I admire and respect it. I point that out to any Christian who has a bad thing to say about Islam.

However, where are the Muslim scientists today? They are afraid of Wahhabists. Freedom of thought is no longer available to them.

[Kenarah]

@bWhat do you know about Muhammad Abdulwahab =wahabi,

that man renewed Islam after the western colonialism in the Islamic world ,he brought the real Islam back to life when people started to warship graves again ,and the black magic spreaded and the knowledge was lost ..because of him Muslims are back to knowledge again , Islam is perfect but people are not ..

osatsu76

@bosatsu76 I did my research !

London, England (CNN) — Think of the origins of that staple of modern life, the cup of coffee, and Italy often springs to mind.

But in fact, Yemen is where the ubiquitous brew has its true origins.

Along with the first university, and even the toothbrush, it is among surprising Muslim inventions that have shaped the world we live in today.

[Kenarah]

@bosatsu76 London, England (CNN)

,The origins of these fundamental ideas and objects — the basis of everything from the bicycle to musical scales — are the focus of “1001 Inventions,” a book celebrating “the forgotten” history of 1,000 years of Muslim heritage.

@bosatsu76

5. Algebra

The word algebra comes from the title of a Persian mathematician’s famous 9th century treatise “Kitab al-Jabr Wa l-Mugabala” which translates roughly as “The Book of Reasoning and Balancing.” Built on the roots of Greek and Hindu systems, the new algebraic order was a unifying system for rational numbers, irrational numbers and geometrical magnitudes. The same mathematician, Al-Khwarizmi, was also the first to introduce the concept of raising a number to a power.

[Kenarah]

@bosatsu76

9. The crank

Many of the basics of modern automatics were first put to use in the Muslim world, including the revolutionary crank-connecting rod system. By converting rotary motion to linear motion, the crank enables the lifting of heavy objects with relative ease. This technology, discovered by Al-Jazari in the 12th century, exploded across the globe, leading to everything from the bicycle to the internal combustion engine.

[bosatsu76]

@Kenarah don't get me wrong. I am fully able to acknowledge truth. While the crank was first developed in China in 200 ad, they never turned it into linear motion. Islamic inventors did that. My complaint from the beginning is historical revisionism--rewriting history to make one-self or one's group look better. That I will not stand silently by for. I will speak up. I do that here in America to the Christians and Jews who pretend they are wonderful, while in fact they have enslaved many.
