Where can we use this?

We can use this type of pump:
Near the rivers
Near the channels.
In the hilly areas
Springs(If the flow is good enough to
give initial velocity).

What it does?

It increases the velocity of flow by 10

to 15 times that of initial.
This pump increases the flow velocity
by simple expansion and compression
of air.
The important point is that It works
without any consumption of
electricity.

Really!! How?????

Working

Water enters the pump with some

initial velocity.
Water is filled both in overflow pipe and
outflow pump
After that the valve at the overflow
closes due to flow of water.
And due to increase in pressure the
valve at outflow opens.

Contd.

The water enters into the air tube and the

outlet tube.
After sometime, the air compressed due to
the entry of water will try to expand and tries
to send some water back to the inlet pipe.
But the valve used is one way , it wont allow
the flow in that direction and continues to
flow towards the outlet with some increase in
velocity.
Thus we can send the water to certain height
without using electricity.

Advantages

No electricity required.
Easy to install.
Simple working.
Can utilize water from rivers or canals
or other channels to send the water to
overhead tanks easily.

Disadvantages

Wastage of water from overflow pipe.

Cannot be helpful in pumping stagnant
water.
