    Default Looking for cheapest Trompe Designs

    It is my understanding that a Trompe is one of the most useful, yet under rated energy device available too those of financial hardship. As such I thought it would be nice to locate a few Trompe Designs which can be made easily from that which is normally discarded.

    Thanks Dz, I'm familiar w/ both the Pulser Pump and Ram pump. While researching the Trompe These 2 were the closest I could find to it, but as I understand it the Trompe compresses air. I was just going to use the ram/pulser Pump design with a tweek in hopes of duplicating a trompe, but thought I'd post for an actual Trompe plan first

    The actual plan depends on what is your situation with water potential and what do you need, energy or water. I say "applied design" use what you already have and make something, then upgrade at the time. Its pure enjoyment experimenting with those water stuff, think some Schauberger vortex, old neon tubes etc....

    Due to no running water I'll have to make it where it stores the energy for later use. As such I'm hoping to catch rainwater and store and store whatever compressesd air I can from it, hence the original trumpe design would work best I think. Either rain or I can use a converted 10speed bicycle to pump water from the pond. Hoping it could be for 30-1hour per day of pedeling for enough compressed air for the day.
    Any other ideas?

    Looks to me that you don't have any usable energy potential in water on your property. :-) Why do you need compressed air?
