Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Hydraulic ram. This device seemingly defies gravity by pumping water from a lower level to a higher one without any power supply or rotating parts. Water from a stream flows down the hill in a pipe. It generates a pressure surge each time its motion is stopped by a valve closing. This compresses air inside the domed cylinder and provides the energy for a smaller volume of water to be driven uphill. |
