Bamboo Geyser Pump

[PTBanjo]

I just built one and put it 40 ft down in my well. It was submerged 30 ft with a 10 ft head. still shot water 10+ feet in the air out of the top of a 1 in pipe.

Ahh pleabargain, this is the fun point of geyser pumps. Say you went out in the ocean and lowered a 20 ft geyser pump 1 mile down in the water, it would still be able to push that column of water up and out- according to what i've read. What I do know is though say you have a well 200 feet deep or 300 or 400! a geyser pump will run it.

To pump 20 ft high you need to go about 10 ft down under the water. (maybe less).

I made 10 ft deep pulser pumps and they can pump at least 8 meters high!

Why not see how high you can airlift with a bamboo stick?

(but how do you put a hole up through the knots in the bamboo?) You would need a special drill. This video got over 12 000 views. Imagine YOUR video of a 4 ft high airlift bamboo! You will get a hundred thousand views!!!

GO GO GO! be a star.

its siimplle just google air lift pump

[saacbe]

can yo use it for a well??? how do yo u do it??

[gaiatechnician]

Thank you for independently demonstrating the air lift principle and you did it very well and simply too!) I have waited years for this type of demonstration. So many people refuse to believe that it can be that simple.

Its done in about a billion aquariums with undergravel filters every day.

biowerks, aquarium under-gravel filters use air-lift pumps. not geyser pumps. air lift explores lots of tiny bubbles to create a suction. Geyser pumps generate one large bubble that fills the entire cavity of the up-tube which creates great suction, even enough to pick up small rocks and shoot them out the top!

Hey not bad, just a variation of the Pulser Pump demonstrated by gaiateechnician here on Youtube.
