Pumps - EMAS hydraulic ram - part 1

This movie describes how to make a hydraulic ram. A hydraulic ram pump is a water pump powered by water with a height difference. In areas where natural flows exist with a height difference of the water over a small distance, hydraulic ram pumps can be used to transport water to higher grounds without using electricity or fuel.

Very good work. You guys build your own valve ram and everything pretty much from crash !!!! ...I do like this. There is a comment by alfracozu ...that the only valid point that I give him is the fact that the pressure tank will have to be filled with air...some time... I will perhaps add a bladder tube like a bicycle tube.  In any case, very good job !!!
