This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
straw badge in
Plumbing.
In this Badge Bit, you will make and install a ram pump. Do you have a flowing stream with some drop (or head) to it? You can use a ram pump to push a bit of that
water much higher in the landscape. Let's make it happen!
Here's a guy building one and showing how it works:
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- build a ram pump and install it
- homemade
- lifts water 10' higher than your water source
To show you've completed this Badge Bit, provide proof of the following as pics or
video (less than two minutes):
- the parts you're building it from
- construction underway
- finished pump
- installed and pumping
- water coming out of a hose at least 10' higher than the pump's water source
