Introduction

Purpose:

It can be compared to the heart of a human being. The main purpose of

the pump is to create the flow of fluid through the system and thus assist transfer of
power and motion.

Location:

The pump is coupled to and driven by the prime mover of the system,

which is most often an electric motor but in this case without motor. The inlet side of
the pump is connected to the reservoir: the outlet or pressure side, is connected to the
control valve and thus to the rest of the system.

Principal of Pendulum Pump:

A Pump is a device which converts the mechanical energy in to hydraulic energy.

Application:
Water supply
Gasoline Supply
Chemical movement
Sewage movement
Marine services

Positive Displacement Pump

Positive displacement pumps are those whos pumping volume changes from maximum
to minimum during each pumping cycle. That is, the pumping element expands from a
small to large volume and is then contracted to a small volume again.
Positive displacement pumps are used where pressure is the primary consideration. In
this pump high and low pressure areas are separated.so that the fluid cannot leak back
and return to the low pressure source.

Advantages of Positive Displacement Pumps

PD pumps are widely used in hydraulic system
They can generate high pressure
They are relatively small and enjoy very high power to weight ratio
They have relatively high volumetric efficiency
There is relatively small change of efficiency through the pressure range

Non-Positive Displacement Pumps (NPD)

Pumps where the fluid can be displaced and transferred using the inertia of the fluid in
motion are called non-positive displacement pumps. Some examples of such pumps are
Centrifugal pumps, propeller pumps, etc..
They are usually used for low pressure (up to 40 bar) and high volume systems.
The impeller imparts kinetic energy to the fluid. Hence centrifugal pumps are hydrodynamic or hydro-kinetic power generators.

Advantages of non-positive displacement pumps

There is a low initial cost
There is minimum maintaince cost
They can be operate quitely
Simplicity of operation

 High reliability
They are capable of handling almost any type of fluid for example, sludge and slurries

 HAND WATER PUMP WITH A PENDULUM

New and technically original idea - hand water pump with a pendulum - provides alleviation of
work, because it is enough to move the pendulum occasionally with a little finger to pump
the water, instead of large swings. Using the minimum of human strength in comparison to
present classic hand water pumps enables efficient application in irrigation of smaller lots, for waterwells and extinguishing fires even by old people and children, which was proved by a large number of
interested future consumers during the presentations.

Hand water pump with a pendulum is a realisation of a new, original, and even
unbelievable, by very simple solution for pumping water. Work is alleviated because easier,
long-lasting and effortless use of the hand water pump has been enabled. Input energy for
starting the process of pumping, in form of occasional pushing of the pendulum, is much less
than with typical hand pumps.
Hand water pump with a pendulum for pumping water out from wells or reservoirs
consists of a cylinder (1) with a piston (2), lever system (3), a seesaw (4), a pendulum (5), a
reservoir (6) and output water pipe (7).
To get the water running out of the pump, the pendulum needs to be out of balance. After
that, based on gravitational potential, the piston starts oscillating and the continuous stream of
water is coming out of the output pipe. The pendulum should be occasionally pushed, to
maintain the amplitude i.e. the stream of water. The pump works well with all sizes of the
pendulum, but mainly with the amplitude of 90.
The advantage of this invention compared to present hand pump solutions are: less force
to start the pump, less water consumption, both arms can be used to fetch the water.

Picture 2. Side view of the pump and the position of

the piston, lever and the pendulum during operation of
the pump.

It is possible to pump out a 1200 litres of water per hour, without any fatigue and
continue with the pumping. Both arms are free for fetching water, and both elderly and children
can use it, since maintaining the oscillation of the pendulum does not request any special training
or dexterity

Whereas typical hand pumps require significant effort and an average person can use the
pump continuously only for several minutes, the hand water pump needs the minimum of the
effort, because it is only necessary to swing the pendulum and maintain the oscillation for several
hours, without any fatigue. So far, there was a lot of interest for the application of the hand water
pump with a pendulum both in domestic and foreign markets, as well as for further development
of the product.
