Amazing Device Pumps Well Water Using Compressed Air (video)

Nifty. I use a small air pump on a timer to pressurize a glass carboy as my ATO.

Amazing. I've got a similar device in my shop that is used to water cattle in the summer. The only difference is I use a windmill to power it.

There are tens of thousands of gas wells in North America that use the same principle to unload fluid from the wellbore. Once the fluid is displaced the gas can flow. Not really a new or unique concept, well maybe a couple hundred years ago it was.

Neat video though, would have been better if he'd used low technology to run his low technology pump.

I always seem to underwater my cattle, they never make it past three feet.

So, could you tell us how it works?

Venturi principal I would presume

Here is a link to the ones made in Saskatchewan. Mine is the sw16. Down at the bottom of the page is a description of how it works.

So it is simply an air lift, wonder why he just doesn't use a jet pump
