Using improvised materials, you can make the simplest design of a device for pumping water (though in small volumes). Such homemade products can come in handy in any suburban area - for example, to wash your hands after work or if you need to carefully water several beds, and there is no watering can on hand. Moreover, you can literally make a homemade water pump within an hour.
Materials and progress
First you need to solder a long piece of polypropylene pipe with a sleeve. If there is no soldering apparatus, you can use the "old-fashioned method" - to solder parts using dry alcohol.
A piece of pipe with a coupling must be held for several seconds above the flame, and then connected to each other. To the other end of the coupling, use a hot glue to glue the tee.
Next, you will need plastic self-tapping screws, for which you need to bite off the hats, and drill a through hole inside the shaft. Then fasteners must be mounted on a metal spoke to make something similar to a screw drill.
You will also need to use a metal terminal (you can take it from the terminal block) - on the one hand you need to insert the end of the knitting needle, and the other end "put" on the shaft of the 12-volt motor.
Next, the spoke with self-tapping screws must be inserted into the long section of the pipe, and to the free side of the tee with hot melt adhesive, glue a short section of the pipe with the “nozzle” at an angle of 90 degrees.
Device application
A home-made pump is immersed in a container of water (the electric motor should be on top), the motor turns on and that's it - water under low pressure will flow into the tube with a “nozzle”. A detailed process of manufacturing the device and its application in practice, see the video on our website.
