WHEEL PUMP
hydrostatics
Description of the device
In this wheel pump conversion of mechanical energy into hydropower occurs through size (volume) change of piston space that contains liquid or through displacement of that space.
Phenomenon
Every pipe conveyor consists of a drive head, pipe segments and a tension rod with dragline buckets. Pipe conveyors also often have directional heads. Conveyors route (alongside the tension rods axis) has to form a closed curve.
How to use it
If you turn the crank, it causes the movement of the pistons (dragline buckets) that pump water in the vessel to a certain height.
