pulser pump video (Simplest pump in the world)
Lots of people use hydroelectric power. Some of it is used to pump
water from shallow streams. It is not as easy or cheap (in practice) as you make it sound, to use a low flow of water to turn gears to pump water to various heights. That is why there are not many working water wheels now. The reality of water power today is that people generally do generate electricity with waterpower and some of it is used to drive motors to pump water. It is a very roundabout way to do it in my opinion. A whole lot of people are missing the point! Brian white "Gilgamesh" wrote in message ... If I were using the water flow to power the pump, why on earth would I want to generate electricity and then drive a motor from it? Wouldn't gearing work? What am I missing - it must be something obvious ..
