Hydraulic Ram Pump: Principles and Operation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The hydraulic ram pump (carneiro hidráulico) is a mechanical device that leverages the water hammer effect to pump water to elevations higher than its source without requiring external energy sources. This paper examines the fundamental principles, components, and operational mechanics of hydraulic ram pumps, emphasizing their application in rural settings where electrical power is unavailable or impractical.
