Oooh nice to see you taking a wack at this! I too have been curious about the trompe hammer that Teslonian made.. cool project, looking forward to more!

Living by the sea, I've been curious about the idea of using trompes as a method of storing offshore renewable energy. With easily attainable relative height differences, no moving parts, and the possibility to store the compressed air at constant pressure in submerged reservoirs, its got some intriguing appeal.

Yes and connecting an air turbine to the pressurised output … but would the Trompe work in reverse ? So that if the water level goes down will it create a vacuum such that the output then, if allowed could suck air back in? If that was possible then you could have 2 directional airflow valves and a separate turbine connected so that one operates on the pressure stroke and the other on the suction stroke. Building the infracsture deep down in the sea bed can increase the pressure and reduce the impact on the environment. Surely to goodness this has to be much greener and more efficient than wind turbines and less costly to run? Obviously care has to be designed in so that sealife don’t get sucked into the inlet or excessive currents impacting upon the natural flow and habitat of the marine environment. It’s projects like these that get me excited. I don’t understand why it’s not been done yet. Obviously not every country is fortunate enough to have a coastline but even places like Germany could use their Northern coastal area and collaborate with the Baltic countries to build huge underwater power banks and it’s a continual source of energy. Britain could produce so much energy and sell it to Germany through undersea cable tunnel transmission lines

Came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and man, you are awesome! (Which is a word you use often!). I was curious. About this idea and after watching it realized it's very similar to what I know as an airlift system which is used in water treatments systems and whatnot. Airlift systems use air to move semi solid materials. I use a small air pump in my aquaponics system to move water up to as much as 8-12 feet. Of course there's inherent limitations (standpipe depth, pipe diameter, and/or water quality). It works on the very same principles as your trompe. Just different purpose but same inputs. Thanks for all the amazing stuff you do. Learning and adapting many ideas you inspired.

Truly fascinating how this incredible phenomenon was discovered.

I've seen bill mollison talking about this in the 90s and wanted to build a massive one ever since💙💙💙

@@reypolice5231 ​ Respectfully, they most certainly ARE suitable for grid power. In fact the Ragged Chutes plant Rob referenced in this video is slated to be returned to service in precisely that capacity once renovations are completed. They are especially suited for grid power use today for a number of reasons. 1. Since the majority of the a Trompe plant is underground it has a minimal footprint, both physically & environmentally, compared to conventional power plants. 2. Unlike conventional power plants, Trompe plants are not only inexpensive to build , but require almost no maintenance costs, due to the plant having very few moving parts to wear out. 3. In addition to the low build & maintenance costs, the operating costs for a Trompe plant are also extremely low as it requires no fuel, other than low operational head water and gravity. 4. Unlike hydro-electric dams, Trompe air plants do not require very costly dams to gain the pressure needed to function well. The vast majority of a Trompe's total head pressure is generated by the artificial head associated with the depth of the shaft, and therefor can be placed in literally thousands of locations where a conventional hydro-electric dam simply couldn't be built.

@@Killianwsh I see your points. I have looked at most of what you are saying myself. My comment was in response to nuclear level grid power. Ragged shoot in it's day did 5000hp in air pressure at estemated 100- 125 psi, at very high volume, dry Air. That is about what 750 Watts to 1hp? So a 1000hp is 750KWH if my math is correct. Or times 5 at 3750 KWH times 24hr a Day. Impressive but not at grid level for nuclear. Base power for NYC is 4 gigawatt per an hour. Is it competitive for local to small cities, absolutely yes. 5000hp on demand 24hra day for a small city could take the city or town off grid dependency and power back to the grid as well. But it not going to replace the 122 gigawatt base power of nuclear, I didn't think. Even current air powered generation systems require 500psi to turn the air powered generation systems. The water demands for that level of output are Not always available. I looked at the NYC dam and water shed. It's a 600 foot from to the City, with a lot of water going to the City. At best that's 12 drops at the 50 feet of ragged shoot. So the intake was I believe to be 9 foot diameter I think. NYC intake is 30 foot diameter. So that's roughly 10 ragged shoot at 50,000 HP. At roughly 12 drops. So 600,000 HP in air at 125psi every hour of every Day, if the water is moving to the City. Very impressive but not replacing nuclear unfortunately on a grid level. However this can be done at every farm, ranch, or property with water on it, and take that property of the grid. I feel we need to change our thinking of power demands to a local or per household solution and get off the corporate/grid mentality. I care about my household, My neighbors well being, my communities prosperity. I don't care about the grid unless they want to pay me to send them my power. They don't want to pay small generation. Please go see Mr Thessalonian channel system. It's small, runs on 4 psi I think and give him power.

Thanks Rob, for mentioning usage of rain water. 💧👍 I already was about "Why the hack should I waste my precious and expensive drinking water?", but surely today it's just about the principle. And basically it's all about the broad spectrum of possibilities to use natural energy sources around us, each at the available scale and for the suitable application, as your work is developing, presenting, therefore encouraging us daily. And to be honest, my own approach is sector coupling. E.g. even my most inefficient electric household device supports the heating of my place, reducing the part of our house's oil heating. Especially, since the electricity comes from my solar pv most of the time. 🌞 BTW: The trombe priciple and construction reminds me of the quite outdated lab tool / device "water jet pump" for generating a vacuum by use of the water pipe. I still have one, in memory of my chemical apprenticeship at Shell around 1990.

I watched a video on Amish air motors but the way they're compressing the air is primarily a old school American wind mill. I've watched a few of your videos and you may have touched on it but I'd love to see you take a look into it, it seems promising.

@@ThinkingandTinkering The main issue will be maintaining the tromp section when the ram pump waste valve closes. The pressure wave will try to exit via the drive pipe aka trompe which is filled with a mixture of compressible air and water at a lower pressure than the air collected in the lower tank waiting to be pushed into the storage tank by the pressure wave... You could use a one way valve on the bottom of the tromp that closes at the same time as the ram pump waste valve. This forces the compressed air into the tank but it also stalls the flow of the tromp resulting in a loss of air from the water column via the intakes. This will limit the amount of air being delivered by the tromp and therefore the amount of air avialable to be compressed by the pressure wave :)

The ram would have to output enough each surge to make the trompe function. Best case to make this work would be to prime both the trompe and the ram before operation. This could be done I suppose by adding a vertical pipe to where your water now exits. Making sure to pressurize the whole system when the exit via becomes full, otherwise at times your trompe pipes will be full of air rather than an air water mixture. It needs that mixture to work(more water than air). Just a thought. Best of luck!

I think you can make them as big as you like mate mine uses 3.6m of 70-90mm pipe - but I would make a different design for use I only made it this way to illustrate the construction

If you had a big enough setup maybe you could use water to make a supply of compressed air to run some sort of engine and generator or whatever.

considering that many other humans enjoy to replicate these kinds of projects... WITHOUT fully understanding.... Perhaps it would be more eco friendly to recycle the water rather than just runoff... A little pump ? I wonder if an aquarium pump would have enough volume !? Even a bucket to pour water back up to the top would make a great school project for kids :) Also, if we could get up to 30 or 60, psi maaan it would be way cool to use something like this instead of firing up the air compressor merely to fill tires on ur bike/car. I would def make one for the farm. Caz it's @ a remote location. To fill tires, I have to drag out the generator.

Could you use this process with refrigerant to build a cooling unit with heat taking the place of the water for energy input? There is a story of the British Army finding a “cooling device” in Persia that had no moving parts. Someone took it apart but could never get it to work again. I wonder if it was based on this principal.

Did you ever do an update version? I looked, but don't see one... If you used a smaller diameter pipe which better matched your input volume, you should get a higher volume, and thus higher compression. Yes? I would go 1 to 1-1/2 inch pipe for the build but stay with the larger pipe for the air capture vessel.

Ttompe pumps explained how fridges works to me

Hey Robert, you actually don't need the height if you use the pressure that the Trompe builds up. Imagine a multiple stage version where you feed the water and the build up pressure of the previous stage to the next, thus increasing the pressure with each following stage. Then reuse the water with a quiet water pump and boom you get the quietest high pressure pump in the world :D

hmm is that how the airators on the kitchen taps work? because they dont seem to have an air inlet? and yet make lots of bubbles?

it would be interesting to see if you could use that with 2 tanks and a hydraulic ram pump to end up with greater air pressure and recirculate the water.
