introduction to airlift pump 

Can explain how does pitbull pump works ? I mean what is the secret in this pump.

Wrong info, larger air bubbles are not prefered

thanks to you for watching

@@infoaquatechnobel1802 Het is dus "dank zij de vraag van guitaryouns" dat het principe duidelijk is voorgesteld?

Action? Accent I think here is the word.

with SLL-20 use 1.5m depth with a 110pipe

+kevin khan Thanks

NO way, the air lift can only lift the water 10cm !! else you lost a lot of flow

+Unna1969 no simple plastic balls

No answer on that, sorry.

+Joe VanGorp I dont remember ?

@@aquatechnobel Reactie you don't remember? Don't to tell us, is more likely I guess.

How deep below the water surface would it need to be ? 1.7m or 67 inch Normally for a good working you need to have a airlift in 110 mm diameter it is not ease to explain , but I am making a new video on the airlift to explain all the steps to build a airlift, it comes normally next week on line or later maybe ? and in my bad English !

Aquatechnobel Many thanks I look forward to seeing it.

Secret, not to be told to nobody.

Over unity does not exist. Try it yourself, it will fail. I used to think the same way you did until 100's of failed experiments. There is no way to have a self-running system. You could however invest into alternative energies like wind, solar, etc.

I understand there always need to be power to start.

U812GREEN no, not just to start, but also to overcome the friction of the water rubbing on the sides of the pipes, the power lost to mechanical inefficiencies of the pump, and the power lost to running the generator. I once had a plan for a car that ran on an additional wheel that had a chain drive to the other wheel. the speed of the ground moving in comparison to the car would move the other wheels. hurr

James Evans Hey, I had a similar project! It seems silly now but at the time it made sense. lol. That said, I've mostly been focusing my efforts on alternative energy storage mechanisms. Like compressed air, hydrogen, etc. The efficiencies don't really bother me. My goal is to create an extremely low cost storage mechanism. Batteries just aren't there yet. Most people on YT just don't seem to comprehend that. Take oxyhydrogen storage for example. Oxyhydrogen via electrolysis uses 140% more energy to generate than you get back, then you have another loss converting the hydrogen into electricity via a hydrogen full cell (something like the Bloombox). The loss in the second half is only around 2 to 3%. Overall ineffiiciencies are somewhere around 143%. That's still about 57% usable of a double-upped solar panel or wind turbine, with potentially unlimited storage in something like a huge propane tank of some kind. Solar panels can be had for less than $1 a watt. Some sources even down to 35 cents a watt. Whereas most lithium batteries are still +$1.50 a watt. To me, doubling up the solar panels hands down beats the cost of conventional batteries. Thoughts?

how are you comparing solar @ 35 cents a watt to batteries at 1.50 a watt. are you referring to the kwh storage capacity of a battery? you can't use your solar without some kind of storage mechanism. Look into the costs of hydrogen storage. those tanks have to be safe, and therefore they aren't cheap. the cost will be much closer to batteries than you think. Also, it will be much larger, and nobody is putting 5 cubic meter tank in their car. Also, the fuel cell is expensive as well. Compressed air has suprisingly proven usable for the stop and go energy storage to create hybrid systems for UPS type delivery trucks.

5 jaar wachten op een antwoord is lang he. Zelfs als je je aanmeld op hun forum krijg je geen deftig antwoord op deze vraag.

Cornelis J Baay max opliften is ongeveer 15cm

you made it too Boy?

+Inge Hasjim yes I have 6 airlift for my pond of 180.000 L

you need a immerged UV to do it

I would put your UV inline ahead first in line ahead of everything else.

LOL

not yet

MrTimjwilson I love DIY 👍🏻

Id love to see that is there anywhere I can find it ?

A great application of airlift is to recirculate sludge from clarifier to aeration tank. Using the same blower that supplies air to the diffusers. Great energy savings and highly efficient.

StealthyGo yeah, I didn't believe the balls meant much, except that they are sucked back down to the bottom of the airlift

the flow increase also over 20.000L/h

Thank you very much.

Dear Sir,Please kindly advice me about your air pump spec. 20 watts and How many lite your air pump can produce air per minute?Thank you very much.

Patrick Sarmiento no way

Aquatechnobel thanks, I might lift it about 1" above the water level so that when power goes off, the water from the output will not backflow. I saw some test that it could take water at 3" with ease.

but in this case you lost a lot of flow

Just use 4 inch pipes or 6 inch. and the appropriate joiners. airlifting has pretty relaxed parameters. I think 3 inches is a bit small, it might get blocked a lot.

depend of the type of the filtering system, but it is possible in some case

thank u for the reply building a house that will be off the grid solar and batteries want to put in a 12000 ltr above ground pool thinking of running 2 airlift pumps one for a bionizer one for a filter thinking off running 2 20wair pumps

with a airlift it is no way to pump above de pond level you need to work in gravity system !

was going to put the inlet side of the airlift 1000mm below the water surface then thru a cartage fitter then thru the airlift and out let 100mm below water surface will that work?

I think 1" is good for your specification

@@aquatechnobel hello and thanks for the reply.. I think you misunderstood me.. the air pump specifications is 90L/min 65 watt... I think it can easily handle 4” or maybe more.. what do you think ?

@@shaker4891 yes the miminal requier to have 15000L/H is a air pump of 20l/min to have a consumtion of 9w

20 cm maximum else you louse to match flow

Hmm. wasnt much.Have you thought about adding a smaller pipe at the end? Wouldn't it increase pressure?

i mean a cone shaped pipe.

Dennis Henriksen in this case it is a strait line pipe

Aquatechnobel Okay, i tried this, didnt get anything but bubbles, my airpump is on 11 watt and 540 liters pr hour. Maybe not powerful enough.

Yes, cm of water pressure. You can go to an engineering site and have it converted to psi or kPa or whatever.

you can by it on MANU KOI in France

NO.

1.7 m depht, the holes are 0,1mm and something of 100 holes you can start with a 20L/minute air pump to 60L/minute

compressor that you are using is 20 liters of a minute or more liters, to increase flow more than 15m3 I can make bigger holes and put more compressor flow or do not get a higher flow of water. thank you

yes 20 liters but you can use more to have more flow, do not change on the size of the holes

OK, AND QUANTITY OF HOLES CAN CHANGE OR NOT, INFORMATION CAN SEND AIR DOWN BELOW IN 1 METER DEPTH, WILL HAVE GOOD PERFORMANCE IN MOVING WATER. THANK YOU

yes no problem

Aquatechnobel depth of which takes the water is important? you can raise the output of the water level pond?

no raising, only possible with a gravity pond system

and the depth is very important

Aquatechnobel What is the minimum depth?

I think he means the flow will depend on the air contributed in water

hibox1981 Probably so! The principal is the same for an aquarium filter pump. Air is introduced at the bottom of the riser & the buoyancy of the air has a lifting effect on the water trapped within the confines of the tube which encapsulates it. I don't find it that revolutionary, just a large scale of a known proven principal. But it is energy efficient for the lifting water a few inches. However, for lifting greater elevations, the efficiency quickly drops off.

you find there ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FLKT3Ur-KSM.html

sheila gomes have you seen the geyser airlift?

Hi Sheila, how did your project work?

yes, a good system and power less consumption

When you say lifting water 30ft, do you mean you had 30ft of head pressure? Because it seems like these can move a lot of water but with very low pressure. I would have curious to see just how high this pump could get the water above the intake side before flow gets dramatically reduced.

het bestaat ook en Nederlandse versie van deze video, en ja, je mag trots zijn 😀

Ow, echt? graag de nederlandstalige link aub? :-) Ik had na een minuut al genoeg van geluid (taal) alleen al, dus ga met plezier kijken naar de nederlandstalige versie!

+yogesh tomar yes

Look up David pagen butler

Do you mean to say that air lift can't push water above water level

@@shyamhingankar7442 no…. But in this video it isn’t lifting very high.

1. Oxidation (esp. for fish tanks), 2. Cooling/heating water with natural outdoor air temp, 3. Decorations, 4. Putting some balls (or anything!) filled with tonic water, or fluorescent materials, and illuminating them with black light(UV) , which is pretty much enjoying to watch, which no one will probably deny. :)

It will easily lift it another 2 - 3 feet of head hight, but there will be losses in the flow rate. (Please note that the outlet has been specifically placed at air exit level, and is not in a pond or lake. This is a closed loop sump situation).

Entr Opy apparently a fish tank air pump can lift water the height of a house

+auralfire31 follow this link atbtv.eu/piwigo/index.php?/category/19 enjoy

alfahdms watch the balls very closely. the demo has a closed system, but if this was placed into a large reservoir, the water could soon be out of the reservoir. if there was an outlet on the side rather than the return pipe, it would squirt out the side and the demo here would quickly be mostly empty (except that the pump needs the water pressure to work) The idea is that it feeds into a hydroponic growing medium a few feet higher, goes through the medium, and then back down the reservoir where it is lifted again.

+Robert Heal thats what I was thinking. But in this video, they are merely using the airlift as a water circulation and aeration device.

+Jarred Sawczyszyn yes you kan do nothing else with a airlift !

Wrong. You can put a pipe with air in it and the water in the pipe due to the air will lift the water above the pipe, which is often seen in under gravel filters in aquariums. Watch this if you don't believe and stop spreading misinformation. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-03EmME_OB-s.html

They keep the outlet below head to maximize flow, but it's possible to pump above head with an airlift. Glenn Martinez is known for designs that pump very high.

LOL that is the reason why it fonction on my pond !

Bing Pong because English isn't his first language? anybody who can put this together knows what is going on and can understand by context
