Hydraulic Ram Pump

The pumps are powered by falling water. They are low head falls and lift a smaller amount of the same water to a much higher level. The size of pump is dedicated by the amount of fall. These pumps can pump water up to a height of 100 meters. They can be powered by a fall higher than 2 meters. The pumping rate per day can be between 14,000 and 500,00 liter/day depending on the flow and head.

Water Turbine

Water turbines utilize falling water to produce shaft power which have been used for thousands of years.  This production of energy has a high efficiency compared to diesel.  Hydro power plants have a long life and offer similar potential to most developing countries, with applications in village lighting, mechanized food processing, and the supply of power to small-scale industrial activities.  The running costs are low compared to thermal stations.  The power output of the cross flow turbine is between 5 and 250 KW, depending on flow and head.

Treadle Pump

These are foot operated pumps which can suck from 7 meters and pump water up to a height of 7 meters. The pumping capacity can go up to 1800 lt/hr.

Wind Pump

This wind pump is a new design, tailored to the needs of developing countries. The major advance of this machine is the low capital cost for its size, while maintaining high strength a reliability. Construction and testing of the first machine was carried out in the UK, and is now in use in Asia, Africa and Europe. The aerodynamics of the wind rotor have been optimized to provide high torque at low speeds, thus allowing the use of a direct-drive transmission without any risk of dynamic problems. With appropriate pumps, the machine starts working with wind speed as low as 2.5-3m/sec. The automatic storm protection mechanism furls the wind pump at wind speeds of 15m/sec or more. When the wind drops, the machine automatically returns to normal operation. All bearings and structural components are aimed to have a minimum of 20 years life time. Maintenance is almost silent. The output is between 6-300m³ of water per day.

Rope and Washer Pump

This pumps require a steady rotary power input which employees the use of a crank drive with a flywheel.  This makes it mechanically efficient and comfortable to apply muscle power.  These pumps can pump water from rivers or wells and are applicable to heads ranging up to 25 meters.  The output can reach 7000 lt./hr.
