Water Pumps

 

    

 

Water pumps are basically pipe lines that transport water with pressure

There are many types of water pumps  

but one of the most amazing is the

Folk Hydraulic Ram Pump (to the right).

 

This pump runs without electricity

 

 

because it can use running water to

to generate electricity, and it can

move the water it used faster plus

farther than it would have without it.     

                                                                                                                                     Generates

                                                                                                                                       Power

                                                                                                                                 

        Water pumps take moving water and use it to spin a turbine that generates electricity. With some of the energy gathered by the turbines, water is put into a pipe where it uses the some of the electricity to apply pressure to the pipe in order to force water from one place to another.
