2. INTRODUCTION
Water plays an essential part in human life, be it for drinking , agriculture,
industries.
Most of the source of water is river, lakes, underground water. But this has to be
stored for later usage purposes.
In a country like India 70% of occupation is dependent on agriculture , which
needs water for growth and cultivation of crops .
So most of the farming methods needs to store water and supply it to farm lands
whenever required . The supply of water is done through pumps.
3. The pumps used are run on electricity without which it doesn’t function , and supply of
electricity is a major problem in the country. Which in turn effects the agriculture.
This problem can be eradicated by use of pendulum based water pump which provides
alleviation of work, because it is enough to move the pendulum occasionally with a little
finger to pump the water, instead of large swings. Using the minimum of human strength
in comparison to present classic hand water pumps enables efficient application in
irrigation of smaller lots, pump water from water-wells.
6. Literature review
Rony K. Placid et al. in the research paper “FABRICATION AND ANALYSIS OF A
PENDULUM PUMP”[1](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.
One important feature of a pump with a pendulum is that the work is alleviated or in simple terms
it makes work rather easier when is compared with a traditional hand water pump.
Akshaj Adhikari in the research paper “DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF HAND WATER
PUMP WITH PENDULUM” explained the operation of the machine is based on forced
oscillation of the pendulum, since the axis of the pendulum affects one of the arms of the two
armed lever by a force which varies periodically.
7. Gowrishankar.K et al. in the research paper “Single Acting Piston Pump Using Oscillating
Motion” [3](October 2015)investigated the project with an objective to reduce the human effort.
The purpose of sucking the water from the ground, they were installing the piston pumps on every
village. The reason behind the choice of piston pump is due to its less maintenance and less
installation cost
Milkovic et al. in the research paper‟ THE SECRET OF FREE ENERGY OF THE
PENDULUM”[4], (Sep 2003) said some information about the pendulum pump which is as
follows. Hand water pump with a pendulum is a realization of a new, original, and even
unbelievable, by very simple solution for pumping water. Work is alleviated because easier, long-
lasting and effortless use of the hand water pump has been enabled.
Matos et al. in the research paper “PENDULUM PUMP”[5] (Jan 2010) He said about the
pendulum pump is as follows The Milkovic‘s pendulum –lever system does work only in one
direction, when the working of lever side goes up. To return it to the initial point he needs to use a
spring or a weight in the lever to push it down. This is the method used to pulse the lever.
8. Problem statement
The ever increasing demand for energy has led to the formation of various advanced resources
which produces a certain part of the required energy.
One principal consumer of a large amount of energy is our household itself.
Large amount of electrical energy is wasted in pumping water, irrigation purposes etc.
It is in this context the importance of pendulum pump arises, by the use of which a large amount
of energy can be conserved and the conserved energy can be used for various other purposes.
9. Objective
To design and develop the structure for pumping water using pendulum principle.
The main objective is less man power.
It can be installed rapidly at any place.
The availability of the building materials for the pumps in rural community.
It is exclusive for rural areas where the water scarcity is very high.
It can be operated by any aged people and physically challenged people.
The capacity of the pump (i.e. the size of community for which the pump can provide
water). It is very economical to fabricate.
The maintenance cost of the pump is less.
To ensure safe operation of the pump.
11. Conclusion
We utilised the above concept and prepared the corresponding model. The model
wasn’t as satisfactory as expected, but it showed that the above concept can be
modified further and can be successful too.
The concept can have many variance as described above, thus increasing the chance of
success. As a product, it has a higher potential of saving energy if compared with
modern days.
Since this concept does not utilise any kind of electrical source, it will be a useful
device which can be used in countryside area or in the agriculture field where
electricity is not easilyavailable.
Also the output in this concept is more as compared. So it will be a beneficial device.
This pendulum pump can replace hand pump works on with the help of oscillating
motion of pendulum which converted into reciprocating motion of piston for pumping
action it is easy to operate & less effort is required for pumping.
12. Due to pumps portability and lesser weight even handicapped person and children can operate it.
It can be used as a replacement for conventional hand pump.
On increasing the suction head, discharge of the given pendulum system decreases.
On increasing the mass of pendulum, discharge of the given pendulum system increases.
On increasing the angle of swing, the discharge of the given pendulum system increases.
It was concluded that human effort is considerably reduced while pumping water by a pendulum
operated pump compared to a regular pump
