+Oliver Turner since I know a thing or two about thermodynamics I can tell you they are absolutely equivalent. in fact that's how you would calculate an engine. nobody puts "chemical reaction" into a formula to eg calculate a 4 stroke engine. you put in the heat input and pretend you know nothing else about what's going on. it's called the first law of thermodynamics and you can count yourself lucky if you never have to deal with any of that in your life ever.

That's simply a thermosyphon pump, first time I've seen it put to use like this though. If you used thin copper tubing it should improve the efficiency because it transfers heat much more efficiently. The thermosyphon principle was use on early cars to keep the engine cool before waterpumps became common place, hence the reason early cars had tall radiators. Keep up the good work mate, I'm always an interested in what you will come up with next.

@Hephera

it operates on the same principle as a thermosyphon but i wouldnt say it is one. this design makes multiple loops of heating and cooling in order to maximise the amount of water pumped through the system, wheras thermosyphons are designed to uniformly heat or cool a volume of water, theyre not specifically for pumping water

Early domestic central heating systems used thermosyphon. The water would be heated by the kitchen range or by a boiler built into the back of a coal fire. The water would thermo syphon first to a coil heat exchanger in the upstairs hot water tank to heat then round the house visiting radiators before returning to the best source. The advantage of having no need for electricity was likely more significant than having no moving parts (apart from the human shovelling the coal). Next innovation was a pump to feed the radiators, but where the hot water tank was above the heat source there was still no need for that circuit to be pumped. Turning the pump off effectively prioritised hot water over room heating. And finally, a car with an electric fan and electric water pump still uses the thermosyphon effect whenever the pump is off; ditto if it has an electric fan and you remove the water pump (don't do this in hot climate, but useful to speed up engine warm up and small efficiency saving in cold climate)

You should give it a phase shift, because you want heat on the way up and cold water on the way down, but you can only apply heating/cooling over time which is basically the derivation of the temperature. The warmest spot should be somewhere on the front but not all the way at the top so that the warm part does not extend to the backside that much. The loops should be on the back side before they reach the top and they should get back to the front before they reach the bottom. The amount of optimal phase shift depends on how fast the water is moving and how fast the heat is exchanged, so your idea with the heat exchanger should help. Of course, a 90° phase shift (top half in shadow, bottom half in the sun) wouldn't start running because the water wouldnot "know" in which way to flow. But the best value should be much smaller anyways. After all, your heat exchanger might be enough but it's always nice to know about the control engineering theory behind it 😉

“I should be able to get about a foot of head” that’s what she said

Cody, Back when I was in high school (1992-95) I was involved in the Electrathon America project, where schools across the nation would build and race electric powered race cars for an hour, and whoever had the most laps would win. I was the head designer, driver and test driver, and did some of the electrical work on my vocational school's newest car. We ran 2- 12volt car batteries to power a 5.1hp electric motor, on a lightweight chrome-moly tube chassis, and I personally got it up to 50mph before hitting a thermal and power drop off. The main problem we had was the electric motor would get deadly hot, and after I graduated and left the project, someone actually fried the motor. The administrator of the school and supervisor of the project heard that another school tried to use direct application of dry ice to cool their motor, but it ended up seizing it. So I had a solution that I thought would work, but was vetoe'd and I'd like to know what you think about if it would work, since the idea I had is very similar to what you do in this video. First off, I'd put an insulated cooler behind the seat of the car, with a coil of copper tubing with semi-loose coils going from one side to the other at the bottom of it. I would run the ends of the coil through the insulation of the cooler, sealing the holes so it didn't leak, and then do a tight coil around the motor housing. So it would be two coils in a closed loop (also thought of a small DC pump in line), one massive coil in the cooler, one tightly wound around the motor. I would then fill the cooler with ice water and/or dry ice, and fill the copper tubing with water. The idea I was thinking of would be that the heat of the motor would conduct to the copper coil wrapped around it, heating the water. The heated water would push the water in the tubing into the part of the coil in the chilled/cold water, and circulate itself through the closed loop, bringing chilled water back to the motor to exchange temps. So not only would it circulate itself, but would also act like a heat sink to drain heat from the motor. Mind you, the motor temps would easily go over 150F, and I recall it once getting to 195F when you could smell burning varnish. In the end, the administrator freaked out over dry ice being used at all, despite him bringing a cooler full of it on race day. So we made some quick modifications and ended up putting a duct under the car, up through the back to blow directly over the motor. I don't think it did squat to cool things. So the day I raced it, which incidentally was the day of my graduation commencement, it was cool and rainy, I got the car up to 45mph and held second place for most of the race, and then the batteries completely lost juice, and I limped across the finish line at the end of the hour. I think if the motor kept cool, it wouldn't have drawn so much power to the point where the batteries were pretty much done. I wish I had pictures, but imagine a 4 wheeled go kart on BMX wheels, disk brakes, a roll bar, motor in the back linked to the rear axle with a chain, and 2 car batteries behind a sheet metal "seat". So would it be possible for the cooling setup I describe to cool an electric motor like that effectively for 1 hour and not cause a massive draw of amps from the batteries? I'd like to put to bed the idea that it would have worked if the damn knuckle head admin would have listened to me instead of freaking out. Also, it would probably be a good bit of science to demonstrate since it is a very similar idea to what you show in this video.

You should make a heat pipe! Like the kind that is used to move heat away from processors on computer. You could use it as a heat exchanger for this, or just do it as a stand alone video. If I remember right they use a sealed copper pipe with water under low pressure on the inside.

We actually used to use something like this in ponds. But we used a horizontal coil in the pond and another just above the surface and backed it like you with a black panel. It was simply to generate a little water flow during the summer as the ponds would stagnate in the heat once algae blooms kicked in. My dad knows the exact technique I think but I think I could work it out with a few hunded dollars of pipe.

Loved it. I have been thinking about moving water from lower ground to higher ground without pumps - off and on - ever since I read about heron's fountain. I had a discussion with a friend of mine who goes to MIT about the fountain. He said the physics wouldn't allow it to work, and I agreed with him. However I asked him if it was possible to use physics to beat physics and make it work. His answer was no. I believe you have done just that. While many people look at heron's fountain as a perpetual motion machine, I don't care about that. I just care about going from lower to higher ground overcoming the force of gravity using just physics, and nature. I absolutely loved this video.

. There are a few aspects of this I don't understand. But I think I understand most of the important parts. I have a few suggestions that look very good to me. Use metal tubing. Metal is more thermal conductive and could take higher temperature, you could paint it black on the side facing the sun. Around this metal tubing build a hot box. reflective like iron or aluminum foil? (Not black, thus the light hits the water twice and doesn't heat the back side as much) material that curves concavely inwards focusing the light and thus heat on the tubs. Maybe metal around the one side also that it could hold more heat and heat up. The glass would also curve acting like a magnifying glass on the tubes. Then good insulation between the front and the back side. The net effect should make one side considerably hotter, making for a much greater temperature differential and you'd use less tubing, more of the surface area would be focusing the heat thus less water to move and thus taking less energy to move it. On the back side, the tubs (still metal would be some distance away from the surface) could have a wind fan. Put a fan on a high poll above any obstacles to wind, like surrounding houses, trees etc. Connect it via belt to another fan blowing below the device pushing the heat away. (top fan is turned by wind, bottom fan is turned by the top fan) Alternatively the whole thing could be high up capturing more sun and wind, like your roof. Would it still work if it was all horizontal? Because horizontal on the roof would maximize the amount of light caught for the longest period of time. Please let me know if you've read this. I know this video is like a year and a half old or something, do you read comments of old videos? If someone else reads this, how might one send a message like this so that Cody might read it?

Hi Cody. I'm not sure if this idea would meet your criteria, but you could shrink the pump a ton if you are willing to let a little water boil. If you used a small solar concentrator (either a lens or a mirror) to heat up a reservoir you could push a relatively large amount of water through a capillary tube in a few minutes just like pushing a piston in a steam engine. You might also have some control over when it is circulated by adjusting the positions of the solar concentrator and reservoir. You might control the amount of water to be circulated by adjusting the length of the capillary tube. Your brine shrimp colonies are coming along great. Keep making videos!

The tubes on the cool side can be coated in a reflective surface to aid in radiating off heat. Even basic latex white paint can be used for this application. Additionally, if the backside tubes were made of copper tubing, you could solder them to a heat-pipe network. IE same diameter tubes filled with fluid that are in a second circulatory system running opposite of flow in the primary system. That way the chill water running opposite of your solar pump will absorb a greater proportion of the heat from the solar pump. If I had the means to draw the diagram in this box, I would.

Thats part of the point. You are trying to get rid of the heat quickly. The tube are already warm from the water on the inside, the reflective coating simply aids in casting that heat away from the tubes.

Cody, this is very close to the concept of the fluidyne pump, maybe somebody told you that already. Only in a fluidyne pump, you use an air tight top on your u shape with some air in it and this air tightness added with the heat provided on one side will start making the water oscillate at a high pace. Then, you can pump up to 20 feet. The thing is, research has so far proven you can transfer only about 5% of the heat energy into actual mgh energy due to pumped water. Say you wanted to produce electricity this way by making a micro pumped hydro plant yourself. You would need basins, pumps of this type of a really fair size, tubes, a turbine and a lot of square meters of thermal solar panels. 50hz or 60hz AC is achievable by turning the turbine on when the top basin is full enough. 24h electricity production can be achieved through hot water storage. You will need at least 4 times more surface in thermal solar panels than you would need in PV, and even more so if you want to store energy for the night, but this type of installation is feasible on a DIY scale. Toughest part being the turbine, which i'd buy. FYI, fluidyne pumps are only another type of stirling engine.

Can you run half the hose under ground?

That's a superb idea Ryan. For heat we just need mirrors, and for cooling we need thin bright tubes or a metal which transfers a lot of heat. Running the lines into a dark box insulated with KaoWool (amazing insulation) would be good, filled with water would also be good, and great if the water were evaporating, but the best is as you said...having the lines covered over with dirt. So no matter how hot the lines get, the ground would still cool them off fast.

Hmm one problem is that the cooling should be primarily on the back, not the bottom, and the pump needs to remain upright. Maybe pile up dirt behind it? Of course that doesn't really work with putting it in his shrimp boxes.

dirt on the back would definitly help cool it and using mirrors to focus more light gives more heat. this could help give a bigger temp differential without adding much complexity

Odd Ryan Think of it this way: The water on the cold side is heavier than that on the hot side, due to their difference in density. Let's say you're looking at it from the side so that the cold water is on your right and the hot is on your left. Since the water is heavier on the right, all the water will rotate clockwise, with the heavier (cold) water moving toward the bottom. If we start out with the cold water on the bottom, the system would already be in equalibarium, and the water would have no reason to move. Hopefully that made sense haha.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

cool idea, the only problem with that design is that you need to remember that the head pressure is dependent on Ff factor (friction) in the calcs you are doing, there is still friction in those lines and the bends also constrict your flow in those portions. so what you run into is somehwere is a bottleneck that keeps adding until you get to a point you can only go so high and get so much pressure. i think it would be well before you get to a height you worry about needing metal tubing

Same thing in an ammonia/propane refrigerator. Cap the two vessels and plumb a tube between the air space to profit from vapor pressure differences. Keep one vessel cooler than the other . You could possibly try a reed valve somewhere to produce hammering to increase flow rate possibly. I've pondered similar ideas for connecting stock tanks together and using a geo thermal loop to keep them flowing, one to another to keep the water warmer than freezing in the winter, and cooler in the summer.

Better to use copper pipe painted black. The problem is not with generating heat, but with transferring it to the water

I can see a commercial application for silent pumps. Residential aquaponic kits come to mind. Like a small gold fish tank and planter you would have in your living area.

You invented an early Solar Thermal Difference Fluid Pump. We need a cool name for it though. Solar Pump. Something like that. Very cool! When your design is a bit more polished, I'd LOVE to build one of these. I'm no scientist, but I like to build tiny versions of some of the things you build. But for this I'd go massive scale. Sounds like a copper heat synch of some sort, or copper pipe in the shadow, may be good for the cooling areas, with a certain amount of fluid dribbling over the copper for further heat removal. Not to over complicate it. XD But thank you for the ideas Cody. Now to watch the last bit of the video.

Ok so I'm just as amazed by the fact you can leave everything outside, including the camera with no worries and it wasn't: stolen, destroyed, stolen and destroyed. 3rd world sucks man.

I don’t get why people without nearby water in Africa don’t make simple stuff like this or even just a really long siphon with an elevated water container at the source and a bunch of tubing back to the village or whatever. This specifically would probably be far too inefficient but a really long tube would still carry the water for them.

This expansion makes me wonder how much the Earths ocean rises during the day vs night. Cool stuff!

if static electricity can attract water why not use something along that idea. Thus create a static force around the tube that can be toggled on and off, and have it operate similar to a coilgun. That should be more effective and also allow to to teach and show off a few more things. Plus it also maybe possibly wont have any moving parts as well.

I was thinking something similar. Magnetic hydrodynamic pump. Works well on salt water.

Radiators could help cool the water drastically to help with efficiency

We tackled this problem before. We used a focusing lense on a copper plate to turn it into a heating element then rigged a coffee maker bubble pump. we then added it to a high drip mechanism with a pan below to cool the water before reuse

Most intriguing. I love seeing how force can be multiplied. This idea has some very fascinating possibilities. Careful thermal differentials would need to be observed. But, the potential is there.

@xylenox6112

It's not multiplied, though, unless I'm mistaken.

Wouldn't a system with a winding wire in the back and then a winding wire in the front work better? It would simulate a long pipe in cold and a long pipe in heat and would spare the large number of temperature changes.

@Crazy_Diamond_75

6 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately... no. Every turn in the pipe has to have a corresponding temperature change. Otherwise the two sides of the turn will cancel each other out. Simplify it down to his original example with one bend and a length of pipe on either side. If both sides are warm then there's no height differential between them. If you were then to chain a bunch of those together everything will cancel out and you won't have any head at all.

they work by the water hammer effect. the momentum of the fast moving water and a closing check valve causes a spike in pressure ( water hammer) this pressure is trapped on one side of the pump with a check valve. the pressure causes the water to be able to pump to a higher level then the supply water but with a sacrifice of less volume. would still be fun to see Cody make one though

its simple momentum, using the energy of flowing water. Just the same as a 1kg weight on earth sitting still pushes down with 1kg, but if you let it move quickly(drop it from some elevation) and try to stop it in a short space you will find it generates much more than 1kg of force for that short distance. Set a hammer on a nail and nothing, move the hammer quickly and then stop it with the nail and the force is high enough to push the nail into wood, actually about the same peak force that a hydraulic press would need to slowly push the nail into the wood. Energy over distance.

That's how those water heaters on the top of the roof works. Your reservatory inside the roof is cooler than the plates with steel tubes(or silicon based hose) painted black outside on the roof in a curling spiral shape. When the sun heats the plates, the water inside of the reservatory pushes the hot water back to the reservatory untill it stabilizes. Saves electricity from the shower and water tap. It is pretty common here in my country.

Really cool! You're turning heat into potential energy basically.

Everything has moving parts that wear out with time. They're called Homo Sapiens.

What if you use valves to not let the water flow back. Shouldn't you get a stronger effekt because there is no backward force? Or do you count that as a moving part.

Cheap coffee making machines have that ball valve, that's why they make that slurping noise. Water is heated as it passes through the coil which is attached to a heater, it then moves against the ball valve, pressure pushes the ball, pressure is lost, ball falls back, slurp, pressure builds up, rinse and repeat. A more violent example is the putt- putt boat. You have a single chamber that's heated, water is sucked through a tube, and spewed through the other propelling the tin toy boat through the water. A turned rudder keeps the boat spinning in a circle. Makes a very loud noise because the chamber expands and contracts from the sudden cold water ingress. Hence the name Putt-Putt boat.

Fizechef the backward force will just be on the ball valve. same force except nothing can flow back

A tiny Fresnel lens would allow you focus light (for miniaturisation), could make the pump more sensitive in lower light conditions.

some things you could do to improve this concept: 1, you could use copper pipes on the back in order to move the heat away (takes alot more work to do) 2, you could use mirror instead of white paint on the back (my theory) 3, you could use some of that silver UV glass protection film, on the glass side in order to trap more heat/uv inside the box (also a theory) 4, you could isolate the the middle plate (black/white one) 5, you could completly close the white side closing all the pipes in there then have 2 holes for solarpowered fans moving air through, removing the heat (requires moving fans ocf) 6, you could use the "coldness" of the ground in about 1 meters down, as its a lot more constant low temperture down there, to cool the pipes with :(this would probably be the best "performance" you could get)

Cody you have it right. check out a hydronic hot water baseboard system. Closed system. Small expansion tank to handle the increased pressure. It will run around the loop without the circulators running. May work better with copper tubing to conserve the temperature all the way thru to return to your heated supply.
