Amateur Ram Pump for Domestic Water

that looks pretty cool but how does it work?

@hessian144 It uses the fall of the water to build up pressure to a point that it can pump it higher then the fall.

@hessian144 - It's just a plain old HYDRAM. There's an explanatory video here: v=y1Z-idnIM6M

@hessian144 - The air tank is used for compression, but there's also a spring version (no air tank) here: v=rH8a9XuZaJs Another one that caught my eye is the "slingpump", here: v=-rAvBntl7jI
