FABRICATION OF PENDULUM BASED WATER PUMP mechanical 

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the importance of a pendulum pump which can be used as a supplementary device for pumping water and is made to replace hand pumps. One important feature of a pump with a pendulum is that the work is alleviated or in simple terms it makes work rather easier when is compared with a traditional hand water pump. It is due to this underlined feature which enables the pendulum pump to be used as an efficient mode in the irrigation of smaller lots, water-wells and can also be used in extinguishing fires even by old people and children. By the use of pendulum based water pumping system we can increase the efficiency of the plant and reduce the effort, cost of production, production time, manpower requirement.

 INTRODUCTION

This project presentation shows the importance of a pendulum pump which can be used as a supplementary device for pumping water and is made to replace hand pumps.

To get the water running out of the pump, the pendulum needs to be out of balance. After that, based on gravitational potential, the piston starts oscillating and the continuous stream of water is coming out of the output pipe.

The pendulum should be occasionally pushed, to maintain the amplitude i.e. the stream of water. A pump is a device that can be used to raise or transfer fluids. Pumps are selected for processes not only to raise and transfer fluids from one point to another, but also to meet some other criterion. This other criterion may be to obtain a constant flow rate or constant pressure according to the requirement.

The main importance of a pendulum pump is that the initiation energy for starting the process of pumping, swinging of the pendulum, is considerably minimum when compared with the work required to operate hand pumps.

Typical hand pumps require sufficiently large effort and an average person can use the pump continuously only for a short time, but the pendulum pump requires only minimum of the effort, because it is only required to oscillate the pendulum and can maintain these oscillations for several hours, without any fatigue. The pump works well with all sizes of the pendulum, but mainly with the amplitude of 90°.
