00:00We have met a team in Philippines who install Rampoms.
00:27The potential of our 8P Rampomp is high because of climate change.
00:36The weather is not good.
00:39The dry season is getting longer.
00:43Access to potable water in the mountains and higher villages is difficult.
00:52Our system here has a 6-meter drop.
00:57It can pump water very high using the pressure of the river as the pumping force.
01:03It doesn't require any electricity.
01:06I'll show you how to make a small-scale system to explain how it works.
03:58The final design has to be calculated upon the flow of the river and the angle of the reflux valves.
04:08The water goes down from the river.
04:11When it reaches a certain speed, it suddenly closes the valve.
04:16That makes a bong.
04:20It's a back pressure that lifts up the water and the cycle starts again.
