Slider Crank Perpetual Pendulum Pump
A low-energy pump concept using pendulum motion, rotary movement and a reciprocating mechanism.
Project overview
From identified need to working solution
The project is a simple pump based on a pendulum mechanism that requires little input energy to operate.
The pendulum is connected to a combination of reciprocating and rotary mechanisms so that even relatively small pendulum movement can support water delivery at a reasonable head.
An eccentric lobe on a rotary plate calibrates the up-and-down movement used for the pumping operation.
