      vikingr1000 Please, would you explain what a Ram Pump even is? I’ve jumped through three videos and admired this guy’s family and life while he has prepared to install or repair his “Ram Pump” without ever showing how it works. I understand it’s a two valve system for pushing water in one direction. From where does the “Ram” part of the name come? Any elucidation will be greatly appreciated!

    • @vikingr1000
      @vikingr1000 5 лет назад

      @@johndix1820 Sorry I did not fully read the question. I believe the name comes from the fact that it uses air like a "ram," to pump the water. I could be completely wrong. The source water has to be up an elevation from the pump. The basic idea is that the water flows down grade into the, "ram pump," gathers speed (gravity assist) and then passes into the pump through the first valve. Here it encounters the second valve which is closed because the water behind it is under greater pressure, and detours into the air chamber which is sealed so it compresses the air in the chamber this causes the water pressure to rise. When the pressure in the chamber is high enough the valves switch. The first valve closes because the gravity fed water is lower pressure. The second valve opens because the water in the air chamber is under higher pressure. A volume of water is pumped into the other line until the pressures reverse again. This is why the pump spits water out the waste valve so that the flow does not back up and pressure does not equalize on that valve thus killing the pumping function.
      Using the pump you can pump water up to a higher elevation than the original source. The one I saw in person as a child my Grandfather used to fill a tank on four posts 20 feet above the ground and ran water into a shed for work and cleaning fish. The pump filled the tank and the tank ran pressure to the sink and fish cleaning table.
      I had no idea until Cody posted the video of just how it worked. I knew they existed and that they worked. :)

      @J Curry Um blind, very low vision, and our daughter Holly died at 43 in Feb 2019 of Rett Syndrome. Holly was a total quad, g-tube, no use of any limbs, and she could not talk. But she could see and hear and think. So she was trapped in a bodily prison. She had thousands of seizures, and many visits to hospitals. I sat many days by her bed, watching vids with her looking on, or watching TV with her. Yes we cannot do things like others, but we can pray, learn, and enjoy fellowship with people, even when we cannot be there too, or DIY. My best friend Gene was a quad, thrown from a pony at age 15 in 1946, he died in 2006., a total quad in nursing home for 60 years. We visited often, he helped us a lot with Holly, i.e. he helped Holly like his daughter, and treated me as his son. He used to joke, "you have only one wife, I have many women bossing me around here". Gene found a hobby, HAM RADIO, and he mentored me to become one. He used mouth sticks, including a sip stick to operate his electronic chair. Gene had many friends that he encouraged. And then there was happy hours at the nursing home, many good times. Handicapped people need TLC, but we need friends too. I learned from Gene, need a friend, be a friend.

    I was born in corn belt country, central illinois in 1951 and every winter the farmers would gather at the local gas station, in my little town and sit around a pot belly stove and talk about the last spring, summer and harvest and all the challenges they went through and how they made things work. I would get up early every morning, I was like 5 or 6 and I would run over to the gas station like 2 blocks away and just stand there in the room and listen to the them talk....I began to realize at a young age i had all the same capabilities as these men and if they could do all the things they talked about so could I. I didn't have a father he passed on his 22nd birthday in 1952. This attitude of being able to do things was like a wrench in my pocket and sponge in my brain, I devoured, things that interested me and if someone said to to me, 'you can't do that', my response was, watch me. I learned my limits but they were usually due to not having the right tool and the majority of time that alone would not defeat me the strongest tool is between your ears. .

    Sweet explanation on how a ram pump works. Trenching use to be backbreaking work, but using a sod-buster attachment to your tractor, a person can lower the buster in to the ground and fasten the pond tubing to the buster at the same time they drive their tractor forward. Keep the tubing fastened to the back of the buster 12" above the ground and fasten it again at the bottom. This way the buster will dig your trench and lay the pond tubing all at the same time and if you aren't dealing with too many boulders and roots you can run 500' in an hour depending on the conditions. Hope I don't sound like I'm bragging only because once I saw it done, i felt stupid because of all the back breaking work I was doing. I only have a Ford 8n, but by golly it'll do this work. I have even used it to dig , lay and bury galvanized 1/2" pipe. but it works exceptionally well with plastic.

    @wranglerstar. With the water that is coming out of the first check valve, could you essentially create another Ram Pump off the wastage from the first pump? Although completely unnecessary for what you require, it would be cool to create a twin pump setup that uses only energy from running water, and the excess from the first pump.

    I appreciate this vid. There are many men who lack critical life skills that could bring a cloud of "why is the world against me" thinking. I've often wondered how information, knowledge, skills, resources are lost. Why weren't there any fail safes to keep the transfer of these life skills to the next gen? Is it realistic to think these skills can be passed on via fail safes (most likely other family members in the event that a parent or traditions can't)? Parents are extremely important but these valuable skills aren't being passed on or children aren't being broke of bad habits early. I know where one comes from(bad experiences or a lack of .....) doesn't have to dictate your outcome but it does for many...enough to maybe bring on more socialism. You can't tell me that there isn't something happening that is setting ppl up to think socialism is their key to "success." The Overton Window has moved and standards are lower. I am amazed that I didn't wind up just like the trouble makers that I hung out with.

    • @cronicjointpain1
      @cronicjointpain1 5 лет назад

      Never thought of it that way but it's really true. People lie to themselves and others to get out of having to do something that they claim they *can't* (because of the excuse) but really they just don't *want* to or don't want to put the effort into finding a way.

    • @DefiantOrderCA
      @DefiantOrderCA 5 лет назад

      cronicjointpain it’s actually my own saying, passed along to friends and kinda carried on from there lol. But as you explained, yes I agree. But fundamentally I find there’s also a time for a reason, something justified by actions out of your own control, the opposite of an excuse.

  • @mikemccoy4832
    @mikemccoy4832 5 лет назад

    Great content as usual!
    I've always been a fan of an explanation over an excuse. An explanation involves a thought process that can be discussed while an excuse is usually a cop out. One can always explain why they did or did not do something or explain why they did something a certain way and with that you can be open to criticism or correction. At times, the ability to explain a decision can lead to process improvements and added value. An excuse is almost always a negative or defensive position that accomplishes nothing.

    Hi just thought you might like to look at a Aussie invention I've had ram pumps but eventually they just won't push enough head. A local guy here in Australia has developed a pump called a bunyip pump basically same principles but it works with a piston so. No compressing air. Seen it push 40 meters of head with a 1 meter drop.
    He has some you tube videos B until pump. Cheers

    Imagien a blow gun with a hole in the barrel just before the dart. You can blow all you want but the dart won't move until you plug the hole behind it. The vertical check valve is the hole in the barrel just waiting to close then the back pressure of the water sends it uphill like the back pressure of your breath sends the dart flying.

Well, now I will count you and your family among the, relatively small, family of Commandment keeping Christians, and I’m glad to say we have that in common. Thanks for all you do. If we don’t meet in this life, then it will be my joy to meet you in the next. God bless you and yours, brother!

      Wranglerstar Amen, my friend! And God is so good! When we follow Him in obedience, He gives us that “peace that passes understanding” which cannot be earned, but is His gift to us when we observe the Sabbath! I have spoken to some of my Sunday-keeping friends on the subject and they have no concept of the rest that God gives us ONLY on the Sabbath. I am glad to count you as my brother in Christ. Stay strong and keep doing what you’re doing!

    Your back pressure is called head pressure, you verticla column is a simple accumulator ram pumps wil function without a vertical accumulator , its function is to dampen shock loads created when the relief check closes amd pressure rises then rapidly falls when the supply chevk opens

    At your 1gpm in 3/4” hdpe, the friction loss in 440 linear feet of pipe is equal to approximately 1 foot in elevation gain. So essentially if you can pump up in elevation at a rate of 1:7, you can pump in linear distance around 1:3000. These numbers are off the cuff using formulas I have created to help me at work, so not perfect, just thought you might like a rough idea of how the two compare.

    With a farm you should have a pipe threading setup and a few lengths of pipe you can cut down to the size you need.
    You should be able to reduce the store bought check valves to 1 by building a waste gate out of a end cap with a hole and a metal disk on a bolt that can seal to the end cap when pressed but then fall back down when the pressure drops. Might need a rubber or leather gasket to get a good seal on the non machined end cap and a way to add weight to the bolt the disk rides on to change the close speed but it would be a simple farm made part.

    @johnzeron9591 4 года назад

    From the comfort of my chair I see a union on the supply side. Since the supply side has to either get filled or be pre-filled in order to get the back pressure, why not put the union on the other side of that priming valve. Then when you have to do your periodic maintenance you shut the valve and keep the prime.

    If Jack pushes the soil over another foot with the bottom of the bucket you'll be able to stand on both sides of the trench and maybe learns how to heap it in a line with will be a lot easier to back fill later. Try and use gravel or drainage stone as a marker for when sweetloaf is digging in 15 years time 😉

    • @wranglerstar
      @wranglerstar  5 лет назад +1

      No, this is incorrect. You want to keep the spoil close to the edge of the trench. This makes the process of covering the pipe, which should be done by hand, easier.
