Abstract:
The project is based on the idea of a water pump that uses rack and pinion mechanism to pump and transfer water from a lower level to a higher level. A reciprocating Piston mechanism is set up and it is connected to the rack and pinion setup.
Force applied on the pedal will initiate the to and fro movement of the piston thus pumping the water
Transferring it to the required place. This project doesn’t make use of electricity hence creating an eco- friendly atmosphere.
Working Principle
When force is applied on the pedal, the rack and pinion setup shows rotary movement which in turn helps the piston arrangement also move. When the piston moves in and out water is drawn into it due to suction and then pushed out when it compresses. By this process water is continuously transferred from one place to another.
