ABSTRACT :

• Hand water pump with a pendulum is a very simple solution for pumping water to a
greater height at ease

• Input energy required for initiating the pumping process is very less in this design.

• The pendulum pump needs minimum effort to pump water from a lower height to a
greater height owing to swinging action of pendulum incorporated in our design.

• The pendulum pump was tested for various operating conditions and found to be
functioning effectively.

• It was also found that the discharge can be substantially increased with proper
operation of this pendulum pump.

INTRODUCTION TO PUMPS :

• A pump is a machine used to move liquid through a piping system and to

raise the pressure of the liquid.

• It is a hydraulic machine which converts mechanical energy into hydraulic

energy.

• Pumps operate by some mechanism (typically reciprocating or rotary), and

consume energy to perform mechanical work.

• This can also be to obtain a constant flow rate or constant pressure according
to the requirement.

• Pump can be classified into two categories:
1. Positive displacement pumps
2. Non-positive displacement pumps.

POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP :

• It is used to pump confined amount of fluid.

• It can be further classified into two types:
1. Rotary-type positive displacement pump:
a) Gear pump
b) Screw pump
2.Reciprocating-type positive displacement pump:
a) Piston pump
b) Diaphragm Pump
3. Linear-type positive displacement
a) Rope pumps
b) Chain pumps

NON - POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP :

• In NPDP continuous discharge can be achieved.

• These pumps are used for low pressure applications.

• It is used to obtain a maximum pressure of 18 to 20 bars.

• Centrifugal pumps are the examples of non positive displacement

pumps

• A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating

impeller to increase the pressure and flow rate of a fluid.

• Centrifugal pump are most common type of pump used to move

liquids through a piping system.

LITERATURE REVIEW:
The following research papers were studied during the course of the project:

• Rony K. Placid in the research paper “FABRICATION AND ANALYSIS OF A

PENDULUM PUMP”(April 2015) discussed the importance of a pendulum
pump which can be used as a supplementary device for pumping water and is
made to replace hand pumps.

• Nikhade G.R. in the research paper “TWO-STAGE OSCILLATOR

MECHANISM FOR OPERATING A RECIPROCATING PUMP” (August,
2013) presented the the conceptual mechanism to run the reciprocating pump by
the two-stage oscillator. It provides the energy required to lift the water from a
tank placed approximately 2.5 meter below the ground level.

WORKING PRINCIPLE :

• Initially the pendulum is moved with the help of hand. Thus the pendulum
oscillates to and fro.

• This oscillation motion of the pendulum is transmitted to cam plate which is

connected to lever.

• When the cam plate oscillates this motion is converted into reciproctating motion
on the handle of pump which is connected to cam plate through link.

• Due to this reciprocating motion of the pump , the suction and delivery of the
fluid will takesplace.

ADVANTAGES :

• Hand water pump with pendulum can be widely used in rural areas.

• The installation cost of hand water pump with pendulum is low so it is useful for
poor people.

• It can be operated by children or old people as the force required by the pump is
low.

• It uses the minimum of human strength in comparison to present classic hand

water pumps.

CONCLUSION :

• Discharge of water was increased with the increase in the mass of the pendulum.

• Discharge of water was also increased with proper swinging of the pendulum.

• Discharge of water can be substantially stabilized and increased by operating

the pendulum with the help of a rope.

• The pendulum pump needs minimum effort to pump water from a lower height
to a greater height owing to swinging action of pendulum incorporated in our
design.
