This pump works EXCELLENT with basic windmill pumps (using crankshaft mechanical leverage arms) too. You can even use this with 'high-reach' windmills, and drive this pump with simple counter-balance weights at the ground level. Excellent video.
Very nice job. :-) I made a very high pressure version pump a long time ago using rigid, thick wall aluminum tubing, using ball bearings / springs for my check valves. I spun the tube with a very small round file(rat-tail) held firmly against it to create the perfect shape groove for the o-ring to go in. One thing to note, the vaseline is very bad for rubber, go with the KY(LOL), or silicone grease.
You have a very nice channel, and well made videos. :-) If you have a bag of those rubber o-rings, and they were inexpensive, then just use vaseline and swap them out when they go bad.
Just use vegetable oil. Cheap as hell. But in all honesty you don't really need it on this kind of device. It will not wear down much if at all with the water in it.
Did you have any problems with o-rings and inner pipe fitting into outer pipe? I could not get it to fit inside and the cut I made for o-rings was pretty deep.
Please did you just leave the pump in place and let it flow thru the pump, or did you submerge the outgoing hose and then disconnect it from the pump while submerged. thank you.
This is an older upload but an EXCELLENT upload, and I hope it will be around for many more years. It's educational, interesting, informative, entertaining, and fun.
I NEED TO MAKE THIS, i was looking for a hand pump to pump water in my house when the power goes out, this is excellent, i can pressurize the tank and allow it to keep the house full, and this looks so easy to make and use, i have never found any other pump so far that equals the ease and pure simpleness of your design, thank you
Sweet and simple, I have a Nordica 15 sailboat and need a pump to evacuate water. This is great as it will fit between a hose line. Just what I needed !!
think about how much better it would be if you sanded the inside of the other pipe lets say up to 1000 grit to get is real smooth. might be overkill but it would make the O-rings last much longer and make for much better seal. I bought one of those cheap cast iron hand water pumps and tore it down and did a lot of fine finishing and polishing and it tripled its ability so I see no reason why thing would be be the same here. Great video. I am actually thinking about making one with bigger pipe. to get more volume
i congz but this video is verry good for pumping the water thank you for teaching the people how to can design and implementation hand water pump system in our country
I work with PVC pipe every day and was wondering why you painted it before you glued it! That glue is not designed to work on painted surfaces! We have to clean the pipe good before gluing them.
Vaseline is a name brand. Petroleum Jelly (aka lubrication jelly) is what Vaseline is. We used it all the time in the Air Force for lubing O-Rings on EFTs
I went ocean kayaking and a large vessel passed us ( they were not supposed to be going fast in this area) and the waves they caused made us take on a lot of water. Someone had one of these pumps in their pack. Took awhile but saved our trip!
I modified the design. I took a one inch Repair coupler made of PVC and cut it then used a heat gun to expand it over the 1 1/4 inch pipe. This allows me to use the rubber ring instead of the third O-Ring and the screw on compression allows me to adjust the compression on the Rubber ring.
Ideal principle for a hand-cocked water balloon or paintball gun! Especially if you work it like an arbalest and use leverage to cock the gun. My mind is seeing something like an ordinary water bottle screwed upside down on the back of a PVC rifle, something like a pressure canister. Water cannon? High-powered dart gun?
I discovered your videos only yesterday and I love them all! Regarding this pump, you should know that silicone grease needs to be used and never petroleum jelly ("Vaseline") because petroleum jelly degrades rubber (the O-rings). Also, it should be clear that the only way to seal PVC threaded fittings is with teflon tape and never pipe dope. Wow, I was dreaming of having a manual water pump like this during Hurricane Irene when I lost power and my basement sump pump at 4 am and had to start bailing water from my sump by hand and candlelight. How about a low-voltage pump that can be used as a back-up system with a charged car battery? It would need an impeller, check valve and automatic float switch and be compact enough to fit along the the sump side wall with the primary pump in place. It's available online but for several hundred dollars. Thanks!
I made mine 3.5 feet long because I'm a little on the tall side, and I messed up making the grooves for the o rings. It was a quick fix though, and it pumps about 3 cups per cycle. I have a well in my backyard that I use for watering my plants and this seems like it could be a quick fix if anything went wrong with it. Please do more projects with the 1-way valves, I have 4 more of them that I don't know what to do with.
My challenge is that I have tried other pumps to push water through a water filtration device, but most are in the style of bilge pumps, which don't build up the head pressure, to push water through a filtration system - at a decent flow rate. This simple pvc pump does. I wish I knew where I could buy something that worked as well, and didn't need to manufacture it. Thoughts or suggestions?
This is another great home made item that I've made, in preparation for a Zombie Apocalypse. I've even gone as far to make a modified attachment for the intake, that includes a small filter system, to break sediment and debris out of the water as it is pumped. It weighs less than 3 lbs all together and when disassembled, it fits inside of an Arrow Quiver bag.
so true. wish i had them. definitely expensive, but if you use them all the time, totally worth it. i don't even have a garage though. start small.....
Really like all the videos, but for pvc, it's best to put on the cement while the primer is still wet, because the primer is actually softening the pvc, so it forms a better connection.
I like all the features about this EXCEPT 1, and that is that you need to yank forcefully to get the pump handle out for servicing which overtime might break your seal. Other than that its a very economic and cool design.
Some quick links to a few of the materials I used: [✓] PVC Glue: amzn.to/2cVholN [✓] 220 Grit Sandpaper: amzn.to/2cGLzOi [✓] #320 O Ring: amzn.to/2cViLRg [✓] Lubricating Jelly: amzn.to/2c8BFa9 [✓] Blue Spray Paint: amzn.to/2ccGmhK
Have you tried to see how much work it takes to pressurize any of your air cannons with this? My wife and I were just pondering how much we needed one, but don't particularly want to buy an air compressor just to build one.
I´m way too late for this to be read, but here I go anyway: you are losing a lot of capacity if the mobile part of your piston is hollow. A gret improvement should be expected if the end of the tube is sealed somehow, reducing what is called in compressors tech (which is applied here) the "dead volume".
Fantastic, I love the modularity and the valve design! Any idea how much vacuum this design will pull? I'd love to build something that'd hit close to 30" Hg, but not sure how realistic it is to expect PVC tubes and improvised ball checks to hit anywhere near that.
Hey Grant, I really like this project and think I might build one just for grins. Be careful using vaseline on o-rings. I'm not sure what the chemistry of yours are, but if they are latex based the o-rings will dissolve over time since Vaseline is petroleum based. I know, I know, not that big of an issue on a 10 dollar pump, but just FYI.
This could have helped you make those ninja balls or make any type of water balloons. All though it looks quite complicated i think it looks easy and good. You could also use it s a coke dispenser. Another great video grant!!!
Awesome. now I know how to make pumps for when I need to make a party game for my niece's birthday party. I'm going old school and making a version of Balloon Burst from Mario party.
You are a pure genius man! I have watched about 5 videos so far and every single one is epic! Thanks!
TheRykerDane try recent videos 😞
True true! $30 on the cheap end. I don't remember the cost of these materials, but I can't imagine it was much over $5-$10
I can't watch this without crying he got me into science

Just use vegetable oil. Cheap as hell. But in all honesty you don't really need it on this kind of device. It will not wear down much if at all with the water in it.
Fortunately many o-rings today are made from neoprene. Vaseline will not harm them. You only have to worry about less expensive rubber o-rings.
+electronicsNmore I cant wait to beat my brother up with this pvc pump!
I built this pump to start a siphon from a spring at the top of my property. It works great!
Thank you.
Did you have any problems with o-rings and inner pipe fitting into outer pipe? I could not get it to fit inside and the cut I made for o-rings was pretty deep.

This is an older upload but an EXCELLENT upload, and I hope it will be around for many more years. It's educational, interesting, informative, entertaining, and fun.
vaseline is a petroleum based lubricant, it will degrade and damage the plastic o-rings. Use silicone grease.
Agree
Mr MaNuSia why agree now? He’s dead now...

great work
i made a high pressure pump because of you
I'm not even a DIY guy and there's no chance I'd actually make this project, but the video is so well done I still enjoyed it! Great work
Excellent video & exactly what I needed!
I'll have to give this project a try!
Thanks for the vid!
Did it work out??
Great little pump. Might try and make a mounted on on my Sea kayak for bilge pump purposes.
My thoughts exactly! I'll probably build one for our runabout for the occasional incursion of the salty brine.
This looks perfect for my homemade Super Soaker project. it's the best set of instructions for this that I've found in a year of searching.
Awesome. I always struggled with deflating balloons after a party.
beertrain You mean inflate right? Or are you just scared of the sound ;)
@@therandomhat_ r/woosh
great idea, i'll make one for my open boat. I use a bailer when the water starts to leak in, but this is something my kids would love to do.
I'm thinking i may use this idea as part of a design for a top secret project... Thanks.

Maybe make it big enough to be powered by AC (240v or 120v) motor?
i congz but this video is verry good for pumping the water thank you for teaching the people how to can design and implementation hand water pump system in our country
really great sir. With this -we can use this for removing the blocks , clear the drain.
Why does this guy not already have a few television shows?
I miss that guy he was amazing 😭😭😭
I dont think I have enough money to buy all of the tools you have, but I really love to watch all of your videos
Cuz you know I have all of that in my house
Still really cool
+jazztickets lmao savage
I got it for $10 from a sign company. I'd be happy to make a video on how I found it and what it does if other's want to see?
Great Pump Idea Easy Make A Must Have......For your Well Without Power...!!!!
I don't like the fact that the lubricant gets in touch with the water. I guess it could be solved by creating a chamber separated from the piston.
All his lubricant jelley was vasoline
anyone else have no interest in making any of these but still really enjoy watching these videos?
Excellent video. Short, relevant and powerful.
I work with PVC pipe every day and was wondering why you painted it before you glued it! That glue is not designed to work on painted surfaces! We have to clean the pipe good before gluing them.
That's a clever way to make that groove without a lathe!
can you use this to pump you're bike?
yes

Vaseline=Lubrication gel?
Vaseline is a name brand. Petroleum Jelly (aka lubrication jelly) is what Vaseline is. We used it all the time in the Air Force for lubing O-Rings on EFTs
Claude Garrett Ohhh... Thanks :D
and for playing with yourself
? Ouch...
I know right
probably one of your only *practical* builds
You should convert it into a giant slam rod
I went ocean kayaking and a large vessel passed us ( they were not supposed to be going fast in this area) and the waves they caused made us take on a lot of water. Someone had one of these pumps in their pack. Took awhile but saved our trip!
With this and the check valves... home made vaccum chamber here I come!
Vacuum cleaners don't use pumps, they use vacuums motors.
I modified the design. I took a one inch Repair coupler made of PVC and cut it then used a heat gun to expand it over the 1 1/4 inch pipe. This allows me to use the rubber ring instead of the third O-Ring and the screw on compression allows me to adjust the compression on the Rubber ring.

need table saw and other expensive stuff
Come on why is this always the case?
You can use a normal hacksaw for most applications.
Great job!! I like the three gallons per minute cycle!

you should never use a petroleum base grease (vasolene) with rubber o rings, that type of grease will disintegrate the o rings
Again he's not a professional lol, you make a video and lets see how many people correct you .by the way watch my videos too so gross my leg lol.
I made a similar version to this but not changed the design to move volume with no pressure. It pumps 5gal/
