sorry Jeff but you are giving misconceptions. you have to match everything for optimization but there are lots of examples on here that prove the airlift pump does a superior job in comparison all things considered for places where you don't require pressure flow.

the fact is that the air does the lifting not electricity. the power requirement to put the air down the well is a lot less than if you use a normal one.

Old idea still used in certain applications. Best efficiency I've heard of is about 65%,depends on free air at compressor and height of surface above air nozzle.

There's a professionally engineered air powered high volume water pump on youtube called brumbypump. My best guess is that the air rotates an actual water pump. v=AtLkEM8F48w

you could do this with a PVC tube, and an air scoop and you will have a wind-powered pump

good idea!

I'm curious to know if it would lift water higher if you used an air stone to break up the bubbles even smaller. I want to lift a small amount of water about 8 ft up and just a trickle would be fine. I guess I will start experimenting.Good video. Thanks.

I know the diameter of the tube or pipe combined with the type of bubbles makes all the difference. Small bubbles in this system above would mean less water lift because of gravity/weight of the water. Amount of volume is the key....the power of the pump (gph) is first thing to consider. Good luck!
