2. Water aeration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_aeration

   Natural resource and environmental managers have long been challenged by problems caused by thermal stratification of lakes. [2] [10] Fish die-offs have been directly associated with thermal gradients, stagnation, and ice cover. [11] Excessive growth of plankton may limit the recreational use of lakes and the commercial use of lake water. [12]

3. Jet aerators - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aerators

   Jet aerators are easily configured into any basin geometry including circular, rectangular, looped reactors and sloped wall basins. Jet aerators are ideally suited for deep tank processes. The jet oxidation ditch is an example of technology innovation where the combination of a deeper basin design, bottom to top mixing and conservation of ...

4. Deep water source cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_water_source_cooling

   This cooled water then acts as the heat sink for the heat pump. Deep lake water cooling uses cold water pumped from the bottom of a lake as a heat sink for climate control systems. Because heat pump efficiency improves as the heat sink gets colder, deep lake water cooling can reduce the electrical demands of large cooling systems where it is ...

5. 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.

6. Solar-powered Stirling engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_Stirling_engine

   NASA patented a type of solar-powered Stirling engine on August 3, 1976. It used solar energy to pump water from a river, lake, or stream. [1] The purpose of this apparatus is to “provide a low-cost, low-technology pump having particular utility in irrigation systems employed in underdeveloped arid regions of the earth…[using] the basic principles of the Stirling heat engine“.

7. Air pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pump

   Boyle's air pump. An air pump is a pump for pushing air. Examples include a bicycle pump, pumps that are used to aerate an aquarium or a pond via an airstone; a gas compressor used to power a pneumatic tool, air horn or pipe organ; a bellows used to encourage a fire; a vacuum cleaner and a vacuum pump.
