The following article piqued our interest since we always look for
|
|
low tech ways of achieving what most think REQUIRES the use of
|
|
motors. It is one of the fallacies of modern thought that work can
|
|
ONLY be accomplished by relatively complex devices.
|
|
|
|
In most ways, rotary motion is more efficient, yet requires more
|
|
complicated attachments. So what if the techinque of accomplishing
|
|
takes a bit more energy, it uses less parts and is much more
|
|
reliable as well as being ecologically safe.
|
|
|
|
Note that rotary motion pumps still require impellers, seals and
|
|
custom made chambers, while the following technique requires only 3
|
|
components, 1) motor, 2) rope, 3) pulley.

Rope Lifts Water
|
|
Without a Bucket
|
|
|
|
Now you can pump water with clothesline -
|
|
|
|
NO pipes, NO valves, NO buckets
|
|
|
|
- just ordinary rope clothesline sent spinning around pulleys by a
|
|
motor. Two University of Illinois professors are already doing it,
|
|
raising 12 gallons a minute about 25 feet. It's not a trick. They
|
|
foresee many uses for such a cheap, easy-to-rig pump.
|
|
|
|
The clothesline just races down and up through the water at 40 feet
|
|
per second - the speed imparted by a 6-inch pulley at 1,750 r.p.m.
|
|
|
|
As the rope comes up, friction makes a quarter-inch layer of water
|
|
stick to it. The water is thrown off into a chute by centrifugal
|
|
force when the rope speeds over the top pulley.
|
|
|
|
The reason it works is the same reason you'd have trouble running
|
|
down an UP escalator. The water is always pouring down the upbound
|
|
rope, but so long as the rope moves up faster than the water moves
|
|
down, the rope wins and water is pumped.
|
|
|
|
Actually, rope pumps are centuries old. Professors Henry L.
|
|
Langhaar and William M. Owen ran across mention of one in an old
|
|
book on hydraulics. The author didn't think much of the idea, and
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
neither did the professors. But they tried it - at a total
|
|
expenditure of 98 cents for 100 feet of clothesline. The 1/4 HP
|
|
motor and pulleys were found in the laboratory. (lying around, thus
|
|
no special purchase)
|
|
|
|
To their surprise, it worked amazingly well. Some water drops back
|
|
through the rope holes, but this is a minor loss. Since there seems
|
|
to be NO LIMIT TO THE HEIGHT of lift, they think it could do almost
|
|
any job, such as raising water for livestock.

Vangard Note...
|
|
|
|
An excellent way of thinking of this is that of a Van De Graff
|
|
machine. If you are familiar with this device, you will
|
|
instantly find the analogy helpful. For those who are
|
|
unfamiliar with the operation of a Van De Graff, a short
|
|
description follows :
|
|
|
|
Van De Graff Electrostatic Generators use a motor, a belt
|
|
with the ability to hold electrostatic charges, a pulley
|
|
and an accumulator.
|
|
|
|
The motor spins at a high rate of speed to cause the
|
|
charged belt to move through a column and throw off loose
|
|
static charges. These charges are centrifugally thrown
|
|
into the inside of an accumulator which allows the charge
|
|
to build up on the outside surface.
|
|
|
|
This principle is the same as the Rope Pump, though using a
|
|
different form of energy.
|
|
|
|
In the accumulation/replenishment of energy (water or
|
|
electricity), the primary question is HOW MUCH can be
|
|
accumulated/replenished and over WHAT TIME FRAME?
|
|
|
|
Modern times emphasizes rushing around and the hurry-up idea.
|
|
As a result, we think everything should happen instantly. We
|
|
can attribute this partly to the many interests of modern
|
|
society and events which constantly draw ones' attention. Thus,
|
|
we try to cram whatever we can into our available time.
|
|
|
|
When times were slower, accumulation of energy over long time
|
|
periods was accepted as the normal course of things. The actual
|
|
use of the accumulated energy is over a relatively short
|
|
duration so the buildup can again resume to the maximum level of
|
|
the storage chamber.
|
|
|
|
This simple idea applies to electricity, magnetism, gas, fluid
|
|
or any other form of matter/energy and is really determined by
|
|
the method of storage. Indeed, in a plenum of matter or energy
|
|
the challenge is to come up with a means of storing the
|
|
abundance of matter/energy into higher potentials (i.e.
|
|
PUMPING.)
|
|
|
|
Of course, this also could be applied to creating a lower energy
|
|
potential which would draw from the surrounding environment to
|
|
create a well of negativity. In seeking equilibrium, either of
|
|
these flows can be made to do work.
|
|

|
|
|
So, for immediate concerns we should consider ways of optimizing
|
|
the rope transfer rate.
|
|
|
|
1) A spongy texture would allow more absorption and a
|
|
squeegee device attached at the dumping stage would
|
|
greatly increase the transfer.
|
|
|
|
2) A polarized material with small cups parallel with the
|
|
length of the rope and all facing the same direction
|
|
would also increase the transfer.
|
|
|
|
3) Multiple ropes to increase the flow.
|
|
|
|
The interesting thing about simple files like this one is that
|
|
it enables one to appreciate and understand simple concepts
|
|
which easily apply to all the complexities of free energy,
|
|
levitation, etc...
|
|
|
|
When you consider Zero Point Energy and how to "milk" it from
|
|
the surrounding energy environment, you realize that since work
|
|
is derived from tapping into a difference in potential AND that
|
|
the energy environment is relatively constant, then you must
|
|
create a "well" of high or low energy density of a greater
|
|
accumulated magnitude than formal ZPE as occurs on the micro
|
|
levels.
|
|
|
|
Since formal ZPE involves the jitter effect from an essentially
|
|
infinite number of micro energy fluctuations in random (ha!)
|
|
patterns, then a large scale Jitter might be artifically created
|
|
to be tapped for useable "coherent/DC" energy.
|
|
|
|
Yes, I know, this appears to be off the topic of the paper, but
|
|
in truth it is not. The idea is applicable across wide areas.
