Friends, today I bring you a super cool invention, a pump that does not use electricity or burn oil. Yes, you heard it right, this thing really exists, and it doesn't violate the laws of physics. Imagine that the electric water pump in your home may be retiring.
This kind of non-electric pump is also called a water hammer pump, how does it work? To put it simply, it uses the power of the water flow, and when the water rushes over and suddenly stops, it creates a force called water hammer, which can pump the water to a high place.
This kind of pump is usually installed in a place where the water flow is fast, such as a river, and its structure includes six parts, such as the central valve of the pump body and the discharge valve. The water comes in and hits the valve to create water hammer, and then the water flow and the compressed air work together to pump the water up, and the process is repeated so that the pump can continue to work. The efficiency of this pump can reach more than 85%, and it can generally lift the water to 5 times the height of the inlet water drop.
It dates back to the 18th century and is now widely used in irrigation, farming and drinking water, especially in mountainous and hilly areas. Moreover, this kind of pump has a simple structure, requires almost no maintenance, and has a service life of up to 20 to 30 years. If you have a suitable river near your home, you can consider using this non-electric water pump, which is environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
This is the story of the electric pump, a clever invention that harnesses the forces of nature. The next time you see a river, think about it, and this force might be able to help you pump water.
