Hand water pump with a pendulum - new manual hand pumping system - 1200 litres per hour.
Capacity of 1200 litres per hour is calculated by pumping the bucket of 20 litres per minute - 20 l/min x 60 minutes = 1200 litres/hour.

Hand water pump with a pendulum where it is possible to use a little finger for pumping.

Hand water pump with a pendulum is very simple solution for pumping water. It provides alleviation of work, because it is enough to move the pendulum occasionally with a little finger to pump the water, instead of large swings. Work is alleviated because easier, long-lasting and effortless use of the hand water pump has been enabled. Input energy for starting the process of pumping, in form of occasional pushing of the pendulum, is much less than with typical hand pumps. The advantage of this invention compared to present hand pump solutions are: less force to start the pump, less water consumption, both arms can be used to fetch the water. It is possible to pump out a 1200 liters of water per hour, without any fatigue and continue with the pumping. Both arms are free for fetching water, and both elderly and children can use it, since maintaining the oscillation of the pendulum does not request any special training or dexterity.

Pendulum pump can be used for water supply for human needs, fire distinguishing, irrigation and agriculture in undeveloped areas by mostly children, adults, elderly people, disabled persons and women in areas without public water supply and electricity, rural areas and undeveloped countries. They would have water with minimum human labor.
