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
