A new site has linked to the pulser pump site. It seems to be a
fairly big one and more importantly peopled by openminded folk.
http://www.i4at.org/lib2/hydrpump.htm is their details about ram
pumps. I found it excellent because it shows how different ram pumps
and pulser pumps are. Basically, ram pumps are efficient water pumps
which use relatively small quantitys of high grade water power topump
water higher efficiently. Pulser pumps on the other hand can use
LARGE quantitys of very low grade water power to pump water (and do
other stuff too). The Webpage compares the figures from several
models from one manefacturer. The LARGEST model takes a quantity of
impulse water comparable to the amount of impulse water in the
SMALLEST pulser pump. It shows a point that I have frequently made.
Pulser pumps and ram pumps are usually appropriate to quite different
niches in the water power world AND there are a lot of pulser niches
currently unexploited.
Other news and tidbits. There is a keen pulser model maker in finland.
I have tidied up the pulser pump website a little. Hopefully it is a
better more uncluttered experience now.
And (unconfirmed) Might be a pulser pump demonstration model going in
in a big alternative energy display centre next spring.
Might be some bamboo pulser tests too!
It is unconfirmed but something I look forward to!
Seasons greetings (if I dont post again this year)
