"ONETONPUMP" is an axial flow turbine driven by HUMAN POWER, HAND CRANKED or FOOT PEDAL. "PELOTONPUMP" is the pump mounted on a frame to support two riders,with the pedal cranks 90* out of phase,so they 'power-push' sequentially,making a more natural ergonomic input, for continuous operation by a small team [the PELOTON]
This turbine can be driven by ic engine, elec motor,PTO, it also works efficiently a a MINI-HEG to produce .5Kw in AC rectified to 12//24//48 V.
A working prototype is rigged as a demo with a domestic bath containing pump & HEG, so two people pedal to lift water 2m & drop it in the penstock spinning the PMG to electrify the internal illumination of transparent water passages::all is revealed, an experience gained 'feeling-water';it's weight & dynamics.No words needed!
~"SEE"~ Sustainable Engineering Education, for all to learn by sight,feel & other parameter-readouts on screens.
Entertainment & Delight whils "THE WATER CIRCUS" plays tricks with moving liquid as it runs down.
This is a LOW LIFT PUMP up to 2m, delivering about one ton a minute; with one man @ 1m ; two man 2m lift.
Testing is planned & videos of action, here are some pictures of the design.
My intention is to scatter the idea to those who may have the interest & resources to improve or adapt to available materials & conditions::needs can be met::a productive machine will come of this.
Universities;Hydraulic research Institutes:IRRI : FAO?UNDP have an interest.
Pushing water uphill can be as hard as you like, it is work, so before production starts more experements in R&D should be carried out by others:~: then the best design adopted.
I claim ownership of this INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ; it is unique & I claim this is the best performing of its' type in this WORLD.
For individuals & not-for-profit groups ~ do your best to make a better one ~ as you wish! ~ use the design,which can be copied with moderate technical skills & equipment [not rocket science]~ I will explain how.
For companies wishing to make a profit, I expect a slice of the action.Everything is negotiable all the time.
No Patents ,no lawyers,no contracts,just agreements for intent as fair integrity,with generous goodwill prevails.
I produce the concept in working condition:: soon to be presented in rendered CAD/CAM with CFD for RP.
