The Spiral Pump: Pumping Water Without Electricity.
Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies ISSN 1583-1078 Issue 11, July-December 2007 p. 59-70 Mode of Operation and Performance Evaluation Operation Principle The energy required to make a Ram lift water to a higher elevation comes from water falling downhill due to gravity. As in all other water powered devices, but unlike a water.
The purpose of this research was to study and compare a small hydropower turbine efficiency at low head water by making a comparison between the Water Free Vortex Turbine and the Small Under Shot Water Wheel. The experiment and analyze were carried out to find the torque and energy of the turbine, as well as the overall efficiency of both types.
Al-Jazari used a water wheel to power the pump. Al-Jazari also writes that the water wheel is like the one used to rotate millstones which were well known at his time. This is a big advantage in pumps for drinking water or irrigation; The use of waterwheel demanded to convert circular motion (water wheel) to linear motion (motion of the cylinders).

A water wheel is a hydropower system; a machine for extracting power from the flow of water. Water wheels and hydropower was widely used in the Middle Ages, powering most industry in Europe, along with the windmill.The most common use of the water wheel was to mill flour in gristmills, but other uses included foundry work and machining, and pounding linen for use in paper.
Waterwheel. A waterwheel, also called a water wheel or noria, is a device that uses falling or flowing water to produce power (what is called hydropower). It consists of a large vertical wheel, usually made of wood, attached to a horizontal axle. The wheel has a number of blades or buckets attached on the outside of the wheel used to catch the water.
Pumping the water with the wheel. The water supply for our house needs to be raised at least five meters high so that there's a reasonable pressure for the taps and shower. We're going to make a spiral water pump to use the streams own current to pump the water up to the tank. A spiral pump is a water wheel that has a spiral of tube attached to.
