Step-by-Step Guide: How to Build a Non-Electric Water Pump (Hydraulic Ram Pump)
A Hydraulic Ram Pump is a self-sustaining water pump that operates without electricity or fuel. It harnesses the kinetic energy of flowing water to pump a portion of it to a higher elevation, making it ideal for remote areas.
๐น Why Use a Hydraulic Ram Pump?
โ๏ธ Works 24/7 without electricity
โ๏ธ Low maintenance and durable
โ๏ธ Ideal for irrigation and rural water supply
๐น How It Works:
Water flows from a higher source through a drive pipe into the pump chamber. The sudden closure of a check valve creates a pressure surge, forcing water into an air chamber, which then pushes it uphill through a delivery pipe.
๐น Materials Needed:
โ Drive Pipe (water inlet)
โ Check Valves (one-way flow control)
โ Pressure Vessel (air chamber)
โ Delivery Pipe (water outlet)
