WORLDS SIMPLEST WATER PUMP!! Make a PULSER PUMP!

The pulser pump uses hydropower with no moving parts!
It is just pipes joined together. ( Please check out the airlift pump nano too. The nano began in 2011)
The one in the videos have worked for over 2 decades.
This idea was probably thought of and used (and lost) before I thought of it.
If you have ever seen a tromp powering an airlift pump to pump water (or reference to it), prior to 1986, please let me know. Wikipedia refuses to put the tromp-airlift combo in (under any name) because this is "original research". If it existed previously and was documented somewhere tromp-airlift combo CAN have a wikipedia entry, and more people will have confidence to use them.
The pulser pump began in 1988. This is a small one in Ireland. Thanks Wikipedia (june 08) for updating the definition for trompe at my request.

Your YouTube text is cut off on 2/25/12. May I get a copy of building instructions? Thank you.

@GraceFrankHerman I don't really have general building instructions. It is just too broad of a subject to do that. If you send me some info about your site and what you want to do, perhaps I can help

nice idea. no wires to run, just a supply of running water. I'm sure there is a lot of room to improve the design in new innovative ways. I'm thinking the inlet and the main down-spout that pulls the air bubbles down is probably the most critical part. the more bubbles make it to the bottom, the more power the pump has. first thought, try filling the inside of the large pipe with a bunch of smaller pipes suspended inside it the entire length. this might give it more vertical guidance.

[mattsoftnet]

another thought, you don't show much of the inlet in your video. what depth range works best? an idea that comes to me, a large floating funnel just below the surface a few inches. gulp up lots of air. if it wasn't 1:30am, I'd go out to buy some parts to do some experiments!

@mattsoftnet I show a method to control the water flow and shut off water on the "tripod" site. I let in LESS AIR! Then the Water speeds up and actually sucks in more air! This method works well. It is not as simple as "gulp in lots of air" but the beautiful thing is that it is self regulating. If there is not enough air getting in, the water speeds up and "sucks' in more air. Too much and the water slows down until all that air gets to the bottom and out into the chamber. Brian

@mattsoftnet Yes the smaller pipes might work a bit better. But they might block a lot easier with small leaves, or acorns Too! In any case, When I did that back in the late 1980's in Ireland, the large pipe was much cheaper than a bunch of small pipes. Most people are scared off because there is no official research on this thing, (so no trustable guidelines) and you dig deep beside the river.

Check out the pulser pump nano! Easier and it has never been attempted!

@mattsoftnet Do post your findings would like to use this to pump water in my Aquaponics set up.

Thanks for the video, firstly. On the high side, does the water need to stay at a consistent height? (To keep the inlet pipe close to the surface for air?) What kind of play do you have? And also, what is the ratio of inlet and outlet/pump pipes? I would imagine that both outlets need to equal the inlet volume. And it seems that maybe it's close to 10: 1: 9

Meaning inlet is 10 square inches (area of inside diameter) pump is 1, and outlet is 9.

Could you clarify this for me? Thanks.

i used something similar for vertical gardening. it's called the bell principal.Using a small aquarium air pump with a hose leading into the bottom of a water reservoir and loosely fitted into a larger hose leading up to the top of the gardening containers, the water is pushed up the larger hose and waters my veggies.
