I like that the chain pump is so slow it needs to be supplemented by the peristaltic pump. For anyone that didn't notice, the peristaltic pump's inlet can be seen at ~7:14 in the chain pump's basin (just to the left of the chain pump's left support), and the outlet can be seen at ~7:24, just below the piston pump's outlet pipe. It's a bit more obvious in the overview at 8:06. Also, centrifugal pump and external gear pump are mvps!

I love how the float sensors work. The idea that the machines literally aren't communicating with each other but are interacting with each other. There's no sending commands to tell one to speed up when the other isn't getting enough water. The machine just compensates within its own confines, but it's able to do so with information gathered from other machines. I don't know why but I find it fascinating.

@@SqueakyNeb Yes! You're generally right: putting an Archimedes screw in a pipe might increase the effective scoop size and thus transport rate if: 1)The edges of the scoop were (too) shallow (thus reducing overflow) 2) The end was immersed deep enough in the water; so that the 'scoop' can completely fill. 3) The spirals are tight enough relative to the angle of elevation. The scoop is not immersed deep enough, and the spirals are too loose such that in this case, enclosing it won't improve transport rates at all. Have a look at some of the images of Archimedes screws, see how they have tight spirals and the ends are submerged deep enough to take a full scoop? So we whilst actually agree on the principles here, the application differs a bit in this case...

Not only does the water wheel need 10 or 20 times more torque to do the same work depending on the wheel diameter it will also always be 10 times bigger to reach the same flow rate and to make things even worse, for the water wheel to be a pump it would need to get the water higher than the highest point of the pump, which it can't, while the other pumps are capable of at least 1 meter height if it's just the LEGO one that he made. The real centrifugal pumps are able to pump the water from 5 to 41 meters of height while the gear pumps are the same as centrifugal ones but better because they can create a lot higher amounts of pressure, that's why they are used in some hydraulic pumps which need to actually push some weight and not just pump the water. The real water wheels often require something like a river to spin the wheel which either uses buckets if you want to just get the water out of the river or if you want it to pump the water above the river it powers a piston pump, centrifugal pump or a different pump designs not shown in this video.

Each one of these pumps has pros and cons in real world applications (well not every pump per se, but you get the idea). A peristaltic pump is mandatory if you want to pump liquid without the risk of contaminating said liquid (for instance, for medical reasons) A centrifugal pump offers a good balance of head pressure, with a relatively small number of moving parts, paking it quite reliable, and cheap to produce External gear pumps can have a lot of flow rate, but the head pressure is determined by the radius of the gears, it's actually very impractical in real life. Piston pumps are pretty efficient at generating even more head pressure, most of the time you see those pumps as "membrane" pumps, which work in a similar fashion, except that instead of a piston, it's actually a membrane that is moved back and forth, either electromagnetically (think like a speaker for instance) or using pneumatics.
