2. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

   A hydraulic ram pump, ram pump, or hydram is a cyclic water pump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at one "hydraulic head" (pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic head and lower flow rate. The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that allows a portion of the input water that powers the pump to ...

3. Water pumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

   Water pumping. The pumping of water is a basic and practical technique, far more practical than scooping it up with one's hands or lifting it in a hand-held bucket. This is true whether the water is drawn from a fresh source, moved to a needed location, purified, or used for irrigation, washing, or sewage treatment, or for evacuating water from ...

4. Project Highwater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Highwater

   Project Highwater was an experiment carried out as part of two of the test flights of NASA 's Saturn I launch vehicle (using battleship upper stages), successfully launched into a sub-orbital trajectory from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Highwater experiment sought to determine the effect of a large volume of water suddenly released into the ...

5. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_pumps

   Comparison of pumps. Appearance. This article lists different types of pump and provides a comparison of certain key design features. Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of ...

6. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

   Warman centrifugal pump in a coal preparation plant application. A pair of centrifugal pumps for circulating hot water within a hydronic heating system. Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine ...
