Magic puddin’ pump pumps water 24/7 without electricity

 

It’s magic.

 

It pumps water up to 200 metres above itself without electricity.

It uses the energy of flowing water to pump the water.

I’ve stood in a very slow flowing creek at the bottom of a valley and seen it pump water up 65 metres to a rain tank at the top of the hill. It doesn’t pump fast but continuously.

Wonderful design, wonderful ‘eyes’ in the designer for the gifts Earth has for us if we will look for them.

Don’t you love good design?

Enjoy,

    I just saw a presentation from Unicef on these sorts of pumps, they are raising money to install more of them in Vanuatu, very cool project

    Every PLANT is a solar operated water pump doing exactly the same thing pushing water moving through the soil regolith and cooling the local atmosphere by evapotranspiration.
