3 Ways to Find Ram Pump Lift Height
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2024
- The ram pump needs input head pressure to opearate. For every 1 foot of water falling into the pump you can expect to get 7 feet of lift up from the delivery pipe. But how do you measure the lift height from the pump to the top of your hill? In this video I show you 3 ways to find the lift height. There are other ways to find this value but these 3 are a good place to start.

I like the way you capture and explain your mistakes, noticed that on a few of the videos. It’s good to see the authenticity.
That is some really great info! I'm glad that you thought of doing something like this because some of us might be ignorant to this type of thinking.
Nice, I like this more accurate/scientific approach. Haven't you done this already a long time ago with your brother-in-law? And probably the first time you showed a formula on Land to House!?? Btw., if you account for the 1.5 feet your head was above the ground when using the goniometer/protractor, then the values for the last two methods are quite equal!
Yeah use that before this helped all trees are around my house and it works.
Great info . thank you.
A short cut on Method #3. When you have multiple steps to get the elevation change, you can measure the distance from the ground to your eyes once (say if you are 6 ft tall, your eye level is about 65 inches.) Then, on each step down the hill run the line out to where it shows level right at your eye level. Then only on the last step will you actually have to make a tape measurement.
Very nice video as always. ^^
thank you for helpful and simple ways a non engineer can make the ram pump successful. great job!
I definitely prefer the simple method over the complicated engineer method.
Sir. Great job
These were so much more simple than the ideas I had to find distance
Great video, very informative!
Although the efficiency of homemade pumps does show here! 1:7 fall to lift ratio whereas the papa pump can achieve over 1:30
Thanks for this !
Happy to help.
Great video! Thanks for explaining how to do this.
Thank you for watching. There are several other methods but these are pretty good.
Great examples. I like the .433 method. :-).
Great video! If you don't have strings or long tapes, you could use that protractor + straw method and using a barometer/altimeter app (most phones have this) can measure its change in Z axis (height) with relative accuracy. So using the same formula, but plug in the height value and solve for hypotenuse to get triangular distance between the two points.
Neat exploration, thank you for that. The water filled pipe and pressure gauge might be more useful for folks actually installing a ram pump, since the delivery pipe has to be run anyway.
BTW next time you run a camera down a mine shaft, use that long long tape measure instead of string and it will spin a whole lot less.
Thanks for taking time to explain how you determine your difference in elevation. Never seen the straw thing before. Just wanted to say you’re using the terminology wrong when describing pump performance, specifically lift. . Lift is actually how high a pump can pull water on the suction side, not how high it can push it. A ram pump cannot develop suction lift, the water level has to be higher than the pump for it to work this is called suction head when water lever is higher than the pump. Discharge head is used to describe how far a pump can vertically push a liquid. The height of the water on the suction side has to be subtracted from the head on the discharge side. (Total head = Discharge head-suction head ) for example. If you have a ram pump installation where the discharge head tops at 100 feet above the pump. The source of water is 10 feet above the pump suction, the total head for the pump would be 90 feet. Say the suction line is in a pool of water in the creek and summer drought lowers it to 5 feet. The pump discharge head would be also be reduced 5 feet so you could only push water to 95 feet. Not a big deal if the pump has plenty of discharge head for the application. When someone is pushing the limits of a pump they may find themselves out of water if the source starts to dries up.
I would really like to see more of the rampum powered generator
I have used that method to to find out the degree of slope in my driveway.
You can also use laser range finder for hunting
Great Job...I need to ask what the ratio between water out from Waste valve to water flows to discharge of ram pump?
Don't forget to add the distance between your eye and the ground is a factor too.
Hey Seth, there is this other pump named Bunyip pump I think. You should try it.
There's a elevation app i use to measure elevations on my phone
I am thinking of using a laser pointer instead of a pencil on that protractor thingy. 😊
If you lay on your belly it will be more accurate! But seriously, this is a very useful video.
If you add the height that you held the protractor above the ground, you’re close to the 20.5 ft
Not that it makes a huge difference, but dont forget the height of your tool....if you sit crouched, protractor is 2 ft above the ground. End point also needs to be 2 ft above the ground. But the distances you work, that's probably splitting hairs.
What about a laser and tape measure?
If you have more than 6' or so of elevation change you'd have to take multiple readings as well or you could use a really long pipe or board to find the laser at the bottom. 🤪
Line of sight could be an issue in the woods though. 😫
hi champ love your videos but could you put it in metres also thank you👍🏼
Hmm my method is just to go way overboard and hope it works out, but I just kinda wing life in general.
What about using GPS data? Could You compare to basic cellphone gps app with this video?
Use a laserlight in the place of the straw?
If I got 5 feet of head and 30 ft of 1 1/2 inch head pipe and I have 15 feet lift at and lift pipe is 150 ft long and I have ur smallest pump I think half inch. My thing is that the pump runs 24 7 and goes in a 300 gallon tank and it takes about 4 days to fill it. If I got ur biggest pump would it pump faster and fill my tank in less time with the same setup but different pumps size?
you can approximate trigonometric functions by the Pythagoras rule for known angles/lengths
laser pointer to to the top, then approximate the distance to the base
altimeter would work too
Yes that does work. There are so many ways to find the height. I figured these 3 are ways that anyone can use.
@@LandtoHouse gov will have all heads for this tech thay teach us that we always have loss but never talk about
the converted gain we can make from eletromagnets
if u convert all the wast thermal energy around
you u can use it universally as energy u need a true sine wave bipolar like the power comp dose a
true pure sinewave like a grid tie inverter
once the signal is made the system will turn on and
consume wast thermal energy from the
environment and space around you... there is free energy but it comes from Universal thermal loss and converted into a gain. so a pole Transformer and a
microwave Transformer have a common between each other u can take 2 microwave Transformer provide
a pure sine wave grid tie inverter to it or a true bipolar sinewave that inter acts with nature in
a perfect spherical motion like a flower of life.. if ur home provides this use it as a Source
signal then u can simply stack the Transformers on top of eachother in correct fasion and note
that the 1 wire on the Transformer must stay connected and the other disconnected your only useing
1 wire on the hi side .. so test ur self
2 microwave transformer stacked on top of eachother same face sides. one side 120 to the wall and the other 120 side to what u want to power and useing the
Transformer just the way it came out the microwave with the wire attached causes the energy in its
perfect spherical motion to converted wast thermal energy to amp for u hot to cold in to out...
should look a bit nuts with u use a form of wireless energy but its interacting with the environment...this is my work a compilation of Otis car. Tesla. and many other very smart people nowadays i think i found the gate source and drainif this gets out to much that it works the
power comp and mib will have our headsdont do this at home warning high voltage yet i cant stop u lol DO NOT TOCH THE CORES OR THE WIRES OK u will die make sure u dont touch the core if the hi wire is mounted to it u dont have to mount the hi on the core if u dont want u connect the 1 hi wire to the same side hi on the other transformer then the core should besafe to handle if nessary
What about a garden hose full of water with a psi gauge?
Yes I mention that right at the end as another option. For every 1 foot of drop you have .433 psi.
What about GPS on you phone? I know accuracy can change but my phone is accurate enough to know what room I'm in on my locator map.
That is a valid method. I have found that here in the mountains it can be really hard to get gps to work correctly at times.
The phone not only relies on GPS but also uses WLAN etc. for indoor navigation. That wouldn't help in the woods.
Even easier hire a land surveyor. Or buy a hiking graphical maps have elevation marked on them.
That might cost a bit more. But yes having exact numbers can be helpful.
The allergies are REAL with this one lol
I have some serious personal stuff going on that has pulled down my immune system. ☹ should be better soon.
@@LandtoHouse very sorry to hear that. Stay strong!
He’s Still smiling like a champ, 2 kids and a day job and all!

Wow thats unusual. Normally there's that one guy haha
But... Did you use a PLASTIC straw?????
Hmmm... yes. yes I did. Haha
