Practical Engineering | How Does a Hydraulic Ram Pump Work? @PracticalEngineeringChannel | Uploaded December 2019 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
A quick description and demo of this ingenious pump.

A hydraulic ram is a clever device invented over 200 years ago that can pump water uphill with no other external source of power except for the water flowing into it and there is a way to take advantage of this normally inauspicious effect for a beneficial use. The ram pump is an ingenious way to take advantage of the properties of fluids. We all need water for a variety of reasons, so being able to move it where we need it without any fancy equipment or external sources of power is a pretty nice tool to have in your toolbox.
