DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF SELF OPERATING WATER PUMP

Abstract

This paper explores the development and design of a self-operating water pump, ideal for small-scale irrigation and various household applications. The pump utilizes water's kinetic energy to drive its mechanisms, making it suitable for areas without access to electricity. Key components of the system include blades, chain drive, turbine wheel, and reciprocating pump. The entire system must be constructed near flowing water sources like rivers or canals. Its design allows for easy customization with locally available materials, making it adaptable to community needs. The self-operating nature ensures it works efficiently with any swiftly flowing water body, providing a sustainable solution for water supply and irrigation in off-grid areas.
