@@DonHavjuan I'm willing to accept being wrong, but it appeared to me from the video that the tire expansion would effect the stroke, and the piston diameter would change output PSI (smaller = more PSI, less volume). If not what is the tire doing?
You're right that this needs a supply of flowing water to get the energy to pump, so would not suit a well pump application in most cases. Technically though, the supply of flowing water could be lower than the well and still pump out of it, so an underground stream would do it... 🙄
@@richardallen1629 of course, and with added energy to pump from. I guess if that’s all you have : a shallow well to pump from into a reservoir that feeds the deep pump. It seems kind of redundant to pump from one to another in order to extract from a deeper well.
I agree completely , less on recycling and more on building to last. Repair instead of replace. Much would be lost by some , and more would be gained by others.
@@neilcowan535 I think you took his comment too literally. Laws of physics can’t defeat themselves. However. You can absolutely use gravity forcing water to flow down, to power a device that will flow a smaller amount of water UP against gravity. There are other pump designs that will do this same thing.
Found this very interesting. I've built ram pumps in the past, and they can be temperamental, need a bit of tuning to get them running best, and wont self start. I like the idea of the pressure intensifier, very clever.

Would’ve been nice to see the flow of water coming in… And the flow of water coming out. You would think that would’ve been kind of important to show in the video.
I got here from a Dutch video about the "beurram" pump, which seems to work on based similar principles although it's not identical, nor is it self-regulating. Cool to see an Aussie take on a robust gravity-powered pump with some advantages over other designs.
It kinda reminds me of a heat differential engine (thermal acoustic, sterling heat, ect.). Nietenol engines are similar as well. I'd say that the physical engineering principles are similar.
@@whtstr2133 Huh? How does this remind you of engines that run off of heat creating pressures and then a Nietenol (you probably mean nitinol?) Engine that uses wire wanting to return to its original shape with heat? This is just a large low pressure piston used to drive a small high pressure piston. Add in a one way valve and a release for the low side to empty/drop, then reset once down with gravity and done. So confused how you thought of those concepts as being similar at all.
This is awesome.. its gotta be the single most amazing invention to potentially do more good than anything else I've seen in over 50 years.. this will help more people and simultaneously fill your bank account as high as you ever need it.. amazing there is no reason why every landowner shouldn't have multiple units .. do they come in different sizes for different applications? Home depot Lowes and even Walmart and Amazon will continually sell these for decades to come..
When you say it will last 50+ years do you mean that no parts will need replacement for 50 years? I would think the tire would need changing every few years.
Just to clarify, the device pumps water from a “pool” or reservoir, that it sits in, but is driven by water flowing from another source (creek or waterfall)? So would be no good if you don’t have water flow to drive it?
That,s usually the case (bunyip inventor) though sometimes the pumped water can come from else where ie gravity fed from eg seperate clean spring water. Cheers

Like all such dope inspired thinking they have no idea how to pay for other then to confiscate people more industrious then they are's money
Amazing the number of drug addled minds that come prancing out of the closet preaching hate of civilization and all who have contributed to and profited from said contributions! This device, and I use that term loosely, contributes about as much to society as Jack's magic beans! It takes flowing water to pump water with it. If your going to divert water to it then why not just divert it to where it's needed? The mechanical waste of this thing would make it too inefficient to be sold if it had to pass the same standards of anything fueled by any of the non-hippie power sources
@@guruofdoodoo so it wouldn't work for everybody; so what; it will work for somebody, and that somebody won't have to pay a municipality $100/month for recycled toilet water... 💩
@@myd0gr3x you're same people who brought about the 1.6 gallon toilets you have to flush twice (3.2) because we must conserve water. Yet it's ok to divert water and use more of said diverted water then what gets pumped? When you could use a traditional pump with much less lost energy and water. This system is a total loss across the board
@@panzermacher This is not a Ram pump, there is no water hammer effect used here. What is used is a large low pressure piston is slowly pushed by the flowing water. it is connected to a much smaller piston and so it pushes it with the same force. Due to the smallness of the second picton the amount of water it pushes is small, but at a high pressure. Its principle is vaguely similar to how hydrolic presses work, but in reverse.
How high above the pump must you get the water to operate the pump? It seems the water pressure must be pretty high to expand that tire and lift all that weight of the pump!
Not sure about this one but most useful sized hydraulic ram pumps need at least a meter of drop and a decent volume of water in the input pipe to work. More drop is better, but it's less than one might imagine.
Which would highlight the advantage of a traditional ram pump, not wasting energy lifting anything but water. I don't see how this new pump could work better when it has to lift the water AND the pump mechanism... simple conservation of energy.
@@davidjones8942 Assuming enough head volume to drive it in the first place, the weight of the piston is negligible. A physical piston also provides positive displacement so the potential pressure is high. In systems like this you're typically not trying to wring every last bit of efficency out of it. What's of more concern to me, versus the traditional style, is the durability of the rubber diaphram and seals over time. But it looks pretty tough and easy to service anyway.
@@roomtemp6374 ok, but the downside if a piston setup would be that a tiny failure to seal will result in (relatively) large loss of efficiency, whereas the ram pump is causing build up of pressure by stopping a large column of moving water, so a failure to seal on the one way valve would have to be enormous to effect output efficiency. I'm not trying to claim a ram pump is better than this piston set up, just that they are close enough to similar that there is no advantage to the piston design that could possibly warrant a roughly 100x price tag....
It takes a large amount of water from up a small hill and sends a small amount up a bigger hill. It's basic physics and the basic design is 300 years old.
No, this is not a "variation" of the ram pump. This pump is effectively two pistons. The main one (the tire) fills and expands using the head pressure, while simultaneously driving a smaller piston that lifts the water higher. When it reaches the end of the stroke it dumps the water from the main piston so the process can repeat. It does NOT use the "water hammer" effect to build pressure. It trades a large volume of water at low pressure for a much smaller volume of water at higher pressure. Only in that sense is it similar to a ram pump.
Ram pumps which have been around for a long time are a great idea if you have the luxury of water and Heights to drop it from most of us don't. we just need to pump some water from where we have water to where we need water. Not going to work really good here in the desert. I would first need a gas generator to pump a bunch of valuable water up high so I can let it drop back down to pump a smaller amount of water a shorter distance.
Or you could just use a turbine to make power like a sensible person. You clearly don't know how to calculate potential energy. As soon as you add any sort of "piston" it'll stop pumping. It's using all is energy to move the water up hill. That's how it's designed. If you wanna make electricity, install a turbine or water wheel and then just pump your water with an electric pump. Stop searching for free energy 😂🤦🏻♀️ if you could get power from pumping water the utilities would have been doing it long ago 🤷🏻♀️
@@alec4672 you're not thinking out of the box buddy. I'm not going to give you the answer but it's right in front of your face. It's not free energy it's taking energy from two sources and turn it into one.
@@1topskyrocket I know it's "taking energy from two sources". My point was there's no energy left to be had, it's all being used to pump the water up hill. There's an actual efficient way to achieve power production and pumping. It's called a turbine/water wheel plus an electric pump. If you wanna make electricity from it you have to sacrifice and accept a lower pump output. There's only so many joules of energy in that falling water and nothing is ever 100% efficient.
@@1topskyrocket there are ways to "recapture" energy. For example, a friend of mine has a typical ram pump and he's installed a mini water wheel like 4ft lower than the pump. The surge water is caught in a gutter and goes over the wheel powering an IP camera and a WiFi router for remote monitoring. At most he recaptures 10 or 15 wats. He didn't do anything magical though, he just added more gravity into the equation. The energy always comes from some where and there's only ever a certain amount.
@@alec4672 I still say you can generate plenty of electricity with this system over the normal ram jet system. I'm going to order one and see if I'm right. You won't know if I'm right until I produce the product if it works properly. You're still missing one component.

Genius, spectacular. For even more power a 35 inch STOL aircraft tire (big bush plane tire) with a long stroke even smaller bore could be epic.
You’ve been watching too much mike patey.
@@AFMR0420 I have priorities, and Patey makes the list. Looking forward to seeing more flight videos, he's getting close.
@@kevinsellsit5584 his videos are pretty inspirational.
No. You get the same amount of power no matter what the size, because it doesn't generate power it just translates it.
@@DonHavjuan I'm willing to accept being wrong, but it appeared to me from the video that the tire expansion would effect the stroke, and the piston diameter would change output PSI (smaller = more PSI, less volume).
If not what is the tire doing?
I would say this man is going places. But he has already arrived.
Now I need graphic animation of this device.

Brilliant. Can’t help comparing it to a good lover vs a traditional, bad lover.

This is freakin BRILLIANT. Bravo mates!
Well, I just need a river higher than my well. That works for everyone.
Did you not hear the guy say his pump can put out 400m+ of lift?
@@Goof5000 400+ meters of head is possible, it’s just that you need a large body of water higher than the well which is not in everybody’s backyard.
You're right that this needs a supply of flowing water to get the energy to pump, so would not suit a well pump application in most cases. Technically though, the supply of flowing water could be lower than the well and still pump out of it, so an underground stream would do it... 🙄
@@richardallen1629 of course, and with added energy to pump from. I guess if that’s all you have : a shallow well to pump from into a reservoir that feeds the deep pump. It seems kind of redundant to pump from one to another in order to extract from a deeper well.
@Steve Warlee next time just buy the winning lottery ticket, DUH!
I agree completely , less on recycling and more on building to last. Repair instead of replace.
Much would be lost by some , and more would be gained by others.
Outstanding, using the Law of Physics against itself!!!
which is impossible.
@@neilcowan535 I think you took his comment too literally. Laws of physics can’t defeat themselves. However. You can absolutely use gravity forcing water to flow down, to power a device that will flow a smaller amount of water UP against gravity. There are other pump designs that will do this same thing.
@@n8ander Of course. But that IS physics. Not somehow anti-physics. :)
Well done. This is what we need and more things like it.
That’s 600 psi… I think. I’ve been in plumbing business for 40+ yrs and such easy mechanics but brilliantly invented. Love a great thing.
Found this very interesting. I've built ram pumps in the past, and they can be temperamental, need a bit of tuning to get them running best, and wont self start. I like the idea of the pressure intensifier, very clever.
That is not a ram pump !
@@PirosmikeyNone I didn't say it was, did I. He mentions ram pumps and how this is different, and I agree, I like the idea of a pressure intensifier.
Said it was self priming?.
YOUR A MAD MAN EXCELLENT PRODUCT YOUR NAME AND PUMPS WILL BE ALL AROUND THE WORLD THEY WILL HELP MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THANK YOU
The earliest Romans used this technique and today’s technology can increase the pumps efficiency.
Interesting stuff what the Romans did
Also were the Romans able to have water fountains that worked without power, as long as the water level was kept high enough
I don't know how the design and technology worked on their fountains
@@JS-jh4cy the fountains were different, they were 2 slaves powerful, 3 slaves powerful etc.
@@JS-jh4cy Aqueduct brought water in at a higher level than the fountain. Water-pipes down to the fountain were water-tight. Fountain is just a deliberate leak in the system.

I admired you and your way of thinking. Such a great invention!!!!!
Would have been nice to actually see it work for more then one stroke and half a second!!!
You are a great man! You have not only made a contribution to the footprint (more like; eliminated the footprint) left in efforts to provide the most important resource: impossible to live without, but you have selflessly kept no secrets as to how it works. I can only hope your genius is acknowledged and utilized. And I hope you are compensated appropriately. Your intentions are clearly selfless and synergetic. You have inspired me.

I'm not soliciting. This guy deserves it and he doesn't seem the type to ask for it.
I disagree, this is more complex than any other hydraulic pump I've seen.
I went to their website, there was no clear way to find a price or purchase this pump. Specs and details on function are there, it seems very promising.
I just emailed him and he sent me his pricing. Putting it on his website would require constant attention and updating. brett.porta@gmail.com
@@alberteinstein9176 do you have shipping specs? That's what would determine if I can purchase one or not.
@@alberteinstein9176: "So what's the price of the pump?"
@@Tunnelrat6666
If you email him directly he'll send the pricing to you. There's many choices like plastic vs. stainless steel reservoir
brett.porta@gmail.com
@@alberteinstein9176 "constant attention and updating" really? I mean REALLY? And you believe that??? My god... His price shouldn't change daily so that's bullcrap. Nothing to gain the trust of anyone there... Also, he claims a "life time" bot nothing is "life time" even less when related to water. Again, nothing to gain my trust.
This is an actual usable and much needed invention.
in Brazil it has been used for decades. we call it a hydraulic ram. if it sells ready to install.
This is NOT the same as a ram pump
Genius!! Congratulations and thank you for the thorough explanation. 🍻
Love it👍
You are a great man Sir. Thank you for sharing this. 👍👍👍
Would’ve been nice to see the flow of water coming in… And the flow of water coming out. You would think that would’ve been kind of important to show in the video.
I got here from a Dutch video about the "beurram" pump, which seems to work on based similar principles although it's not identical, nor is it self-regulating.
Cool to see an Aussie take on a robust gravity-powered pump with some advantages over other designs.
Be good to see it operating more in detail than the explaining. Well informed but yet to see...
It kinda reminds me of a heat differential engine (thermal acoustic, sterling heat, ect.). Nietenol engines are similar as well. I'd say that the physical engineering principles are similar.
@@whtstr2133
Huh? How does this remind you of engines that run off of heat creating pressures and then a Nietenol (you probably mean nitinol?) Engine that uses wire wanting to return to its original shape with heat?
This is just a large low pressure piston used to drive a small high pressure piston. Add in a one way valve and a release for the low side to empty/drop, then reset once down with gravity and done.
So confused how you thought of those concepts as being similar at all.
Search ram pumps - very clever been around for centuries ruclips.net/video/aUTjVovpKvA/видео.html
Very good work there; the principle of operation might not be new but of old. However kudos for such a good job done
This is awesome.. its gotta be the single most amazing invention to potentially do more good than anything else I've seen in over 50 years.. this will help more people and simultaneously fill your bank account as high as you ever need it.. amazing there is no reason why every landowner shouldn't have multiple units .. do they come in different sizes for different applications? Home depot Lowes and even Walmart and Amazon will continually sell these for decades to come..
Wherecan we purchase one of these?
Same question - I'm in the U.S.
Nice little twist on the Venturi.
Very cool pump. My well is 60 meters deep. Getting the water out of the ground needs a powerful pump.
When you say it will last 50+ years do you mean that no parts will need replacement for 50 years? I would think the tire would need changing every few years.
Hope this available in the market soon
Just to clarify, the device pumps water from a “pool” or reservoir, that it sits in, but is driven by water flowing from another source (creek or waterfall)? So would be no good if you don’t have water flow to drive it?
That,s usually the case (bunyip inventor) though sometimes the pumped water can come from else where ie gravity fed from eg seperate clean spring water. Cheers
Correct, it's another greenfreek pipe dream. Just look at the comments! They say to abolish governments and corporations and replace them with free education and soybean generators. Like all such dope inspired thinking they have no idea how to pay for other then to confiscate people more industrious then they are's money
Amazing the number of drug addled minds that come prancing out of the closet preaching hate of civilization and all who have contributed to and profited from said contributions! This device, and I use that term loosely, contributes about as much to society as Jack's magic beans! It takes flowing water to pump water with it. If your going to divert water to it then why not just divert it to where it's needed? The mechanical waste of this thing would make it too inefficient to be sold if it had to pass the same standards of anything fueled by any of the non-hippie power sources
@@guruofdoodoo so it wouldn't work for everybody; so what; it will work for somebody, and that somebody won't have to pay a municipality $100/month for recycled toilet water... 💩
@@myd0gr3x you're same people who brought about the 1.6 gallon toilets you have to flush twice (3.2) because we must conserve water. Yet it's ok to divert water and use more of said diverted water then what gets pumped? When you could use a traditional pump with much less lost energy and water. This system is a total loss across the board
Absolutely brilliant mate
Is this man still alive???? The CORPORATE CONTROLLERS don't seem to like anything that's free energy or things that last longer then a year or two.
Ya but most people don't care what they think.
It's hardly free energy, it a Hydraulic Ram Pump, it's a principle that's been around for donkey years.
@@panzermacher ya but who's making them ?
@@christopherdunn317 There is a video on yt of a heavy duty commercial ram pump.
@@panzermacher This is not a Ram pump, there is no water hammer effect used here. What is used is a large low pressure piston is slowly pushed by the flowing water. it is connected to a much smaller piston and so it pushes it with the same force. Due to the smallness of the second picton the amount of water it pushes is small, but at a high pressure. Its principle is vaguely similar to how hydrolic presses work, but in reverse.
SUPERB!!!! love simplicity
How high above the pump must you get the water to operate the pump? It seems the water pressure must be pretty high to expand that tire and lift all that weight of the pump!
Not sure about this one but most useful sized hydraulic ram pumps need at least a meter of drop and a decent volume of water in the input pipe to work. More drop is better, but it's less than one might imagine.
Which would highlight the advantage of a traditional ram pump, not wasting energy lifting anything but water. I don't see how this new pump could work better when it has to lift the water AND the pump mechanism... simple conservation of energy.
@@davidjones8942 Assuming enough head volume to drive it in the first place, the weight of the piston is negligible. A physical piston also provides positive displacement so the potential pressure is high.
In systems like this you're typically not trying to wring every last bit of efficency out of it. What's of more concern to me, versus the traditional style, is the durability of the rubber diaphram and seals over time. But it looks pretty tough and easy to service anyway.
@@roomtemp6374 ok, but the downside if a piston setup would be that a tiny failure to seal will result in (relatively) large loss of efficiency, whereas the ram pump is causing build up of pressure by stopping a large column of moving water, so a failure to seal on the one way valve would have to be enormous to effect output efficiency.
I'm not trying to claim a ram pump is better than this piston set up, just that they are close enough to similar that there is no advantage to the piston design that could possibly warrant a roughly 100x price tag....
@@davidjones8942 I didn't look at the price. In fairness I wouldn't compare it to homebrew pvc constructions. But with that said, I agree with you.
What a miracle!
In areas where this will work, the people will be so happy.
I'd like to see what they could do in a drought climate.
Pump guys🥰
So it takes water from up hill and pumps it back up hill?
It takes water from a little up hill and pumps some of it a lot further up hill.
It takes a large amount of water from up a small hill and sends a small amount up a bigger hill. It's basic physics and the basic design is 300 years old.
Great stuff ideal for my village on the islands
Ingenious design, thanks
Would love to build one. Got a build we could watch.
Bloody marvellous idea

Click on the upper drop down menu. You'll have the information.
Ram pump youtube search video .
2 years later and still I have yet to see this pump hit the market.....🤔
This is just a variation of the "ram pump", although an interesting design. There's tons of videos about them if you're curious how they work.
No, this is not a "variation" of the ram pump. This pump is effectively two pistons. The main one (the tire) fills and expands using the head pressure, while simultaneously driving a smaller piston that lifts the water higher. When it reaches the end of the stroke it dumps the water from the main piston so the process can repeat. It does NOT use the "water hammer" effect to build pressure.
It trades a large volume of water at low pressure for a much smaller volume of water at higher pressure. Only in that sense is it similar to a ram pump.
This guy should be Australian of the year, brilliant.
It has more moving parts and wear and tear than a normal ram.
they're just trying to capitalize on stolen ideas.
Let's be serious..i love u guys, you're my heroes!
Ram pumps which have been around for a long time are a great idea if you have the luxury of water and Heights to drop it from most of us don't. we just need to pump some water from where we have water to where we need water. Not going to work really good here in the desert. I would first need a gas generator to pump a bunch of valuable water up high so I can let it drop back down to pump a smaller amount of water a shorter distance.
Would like more information on how I can get one of these pumps price and so forth any help would be greatly appreciated
Just go to the web sight shown at the end of the video. PAY ATTENTION!
@@mrfester42 doesn't have a price that I found.
@@mrfester42 got it now appreciate your help thanks
Outstanding. 👍👏👏👏👏👏
Very awesome engineering
numerous pistons could run an alternator at really high rpm.
Or you could just use a turbine to make power like a sensible person. You clearly don't know how to calculate potential energy. As soon as you add any sort of "piston" it'll stop pumping. It's using all is energy to move the water up hill. That's how it's designed. If you wanna make electricity, install a turbine or water wheel and then just pump your water with an electric pump. Stop searching for free energy 😂🤦🏻♀️ if you could get power from pumping water the utilities would have been doing it long ago 🤷🏻♀️
@@alec4672 you're not thinking out of the box buddy. I'm not going to give you the answer but it's right in front of your face. It's not free energy it's taking energy from two sources and turn it into one.
@@1topskyrocket I know it's "taking energy from two sources". My point was there's no energy left to be had, it's all being used to pump the water up hill. There's an actual efficient way to achieve power production and pumping. It's called a turbine/water wheel plus an electric pump. If you wanna make electricity from it you have to sacrifice and accept a lower pump output. There's only so many joules of energy in that falling water and nothing is ever 100% efficient.
@@1topskyrocket there are ways to "recapture" energy. For example, a friend of mine has a typical ram pump and he's installed a mini water wheel like 4ft lower than the pump. The surge water is caught in a gutter and goes over the wheel powering an IP camera and a WiFi router for remote monitoring. At most he recaptures 10 or 15 wats. He didn't do anything magical though, he just added more gravity into the equation. The energy always comes from some where and there's only ever a certain amount.
@@alec4672 I still say you can generate plenty of electricity with this system over the normal ram jet system. I'm going to order one and see if I'm right. You won't know if I'm right until I produce the product if it works properly. You're still missing one component.
