- This is Barsha Pump, it's a new water pump created by aQysta. "Barsha" means rain in Nepalese and the pumps are being made available across Nepal, Indonesia, Zambia and 9 other countries.
The company aims to distribute over a thousand pumps around the world.
It requires no electricity to operate and does not emit any pollution either. The Barsha Pump can pump 43,000 litres of water a day and costs nothing to operate.

“No mechanical parts”... a mechanical part is something that moves... of course this has mechanical parts the pump assembly is a mechanical part... it spins...
I had the same thought... there is a bearing system at the least, which has balls that move and get worn down over time....
I dislike misinformation...
Haha maybe they think electrical part
Maybe they meant motor parts.
@@greenleafyman1028The hole thing is a motor. So it has motor parts.
@@wd9102 The whole thing is a Wirtz pump. It doesn’t need a motor because it’s powered by the water wheel. It’s completely mechanical. Also, bearings will need greasing and/or replacing periodically.
This is a smart design, supposing you have access to running water or are able to make a weir dam.
The spiral pump was invented in 1746, so I am not so sure how "new" this is.
It was invented by H Andreas Wirtz in Zurich. This design has been called a Wirtz Pump for hundreds of years.
This design can be traced back to few thousand years ago used by farmer......
all this information at our fingertips, and more people have learned something new about a celebrity in the last 20 minutes than everyone who knows this. i went down this rabbit hole from a steve mould video trying to see if i could improve on this design
i have made 1 similar with big plastic bottles and also i had in plan to add and a generator on it so it can produce and free electricity in same time. Great Work, Well done !!!
@@Anon-hl3yd AC would be better direct from the power source. Charging DC batteries & then switching that to AC is another equipment expense.
Both would be handy though :D
isn't the bearing system technically a mechanical system?
Yes
Beautiful. Exactly what the people need.
"no mecanical parts" a fucking huge weehl moving in the backround XD
+Coilgun Hacks
My thought exactly.
What they mean is that there are no movable parts in the pump itself, the pumping action is based on gravity. The only movable part is the wheel itself turning on the axle. I will say that it's not a very good way of explaining it.
haha i was thinking the same
not gravity, but by the flow of water
Yeah.
While you're at it, attach an electric generator to create electricity.
absolutely
That would steal energy that would be being used to pump water so the pumping would be less effective and either have lower flow or lower distance
Love the channel!!!!
This is actually an astounding solution for on-demand water, though I’m curious how it’s managed for if the villagers don’t need so much water before everything starts to flood..
Same way you stop your kitchen sink from flooding everything when you don't need so much water.
Hello...
This is great Innovation...
"the wheel does not emit any pollution" NO SHIT
Except the water it puts out....
The oil used on the bearings would be a pollutant....
Wow amazing we're getting advance pretty quickly
Great invention .
Amazing.
Thanks for the 16:9 ratio 😃.
If you can, please keep it that way.
Very very nice job I like it
"The wheel does not emit any pollution"😱
All these years, i thought they do...
This is actually quite nice
Really good
#brilliant
Is aQysta a Nepali company? Who operates this, its amazing to see what they are able to achieve. Much needed in rural areas of Nepal.
V good
Hello, do you still need pump for nepal?
GREAT😘
This life is a test. Though, Allah has shown His signs now and then. He is referred to as Father in Heaven by Christians... and so on by other religious people accordingly.
All Nations and races received Prophets by Allah. From Adam to Muhammad - Peace Be Upon Them All.
Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Joshua, Joseph, Ezeikel, Jesus and Muhammad - May Allah increase in their Heavenly ranks... were sent to spread the divine message of His (Allah) Oneness i.e. strict 'Monotheism.'
Every Prophet was given a single scripture... but now we see how there are versions and volumes written by scholars themselves... hence editing Allah's verbatim words. Whereas, the Qur'an has remained unchanged and preserved in its original Arabic language even after 1438 years... because Allah Himself has taken his safety's custody in His Hands.
Today, there are millions of Muslims who have memorized the Quran by heart... even kids as little as 5-7 year olds have learnt it. No other religion has a single person who know there"LOST HOLY SCRIPTURE" by heart amid now they don't have in its singular form manuscript or even in its authentic language.

@@djancak😅 perhaps you thought I meant "electrical". Cos everything about this setup is mechanical (from fabrication to finish)
@@nanfwangdabiring1520 i'm mocking the video for saying there's no mechanical parts
@@nanfwangdabiring1520 rewatch 2:25 there are definitely powered machines fabricating this, there is a lathe with an electrical box on the wall in the background!
@@djancak 🤭😅 my bad, I didn't catch the drift
Thats an amazing invention. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Cool
Excelent
If you see closely to the wheel of pump, walls of the wheel are made with spiral pipe with multiple turns, spiral becomes smaller and smaller after every turn, this increases the pressure in the centre of sprial with the help of gravity and converts energy of moving water into rotational energy, this is why it can force water enough to go roughly to a mile.
Tube never gets smaller. It's a principle called Airlock. google 'wirtz pump'.
this, very old design has been used on farms to pump water from the river up hills for decades. The trapped air compresses in the spiral and as each slug of water is separated by air. That is the design of the spiral. The water in the pipe rises a bit with each turn. As the water rises the air expands and the water rises faster.
this old design has been used for hundreds of years or longer. But no earlier than humans had pipes and leak proof swivel joints.
This technology has been available in commercial versions for probably 100 years and Iknow of one supplier that says they can pump water up over 20 meters in height.
As for how far it can pump water, that is a simple question to answer, if you make a aqueduct that is only a few hundred miles long, and pump water into one end, as the water fills, it will come out the other end. if your aqueduct is a few thousand miles long, the curvature of the earth is not important as gravity will make the water level to the Earth.
it may take a few months to fill an aqueduct a few thousand miles long, but each liter that goes in on one end will come out on the other. Your task is to stop leaks and prevent evaporation.
What is 'new' here is the name. the technology is very old.
It was invented in Switzerland by Andreas Wirz 1746.
Good
Great
super
A nice pump, but it already got a name:
Spiral pimp. and it is quite an old concept - hundreds of years old and used throughout history.
The main benefit is its simplicity - easy to understand, "operate" and repair.
It seems to me that is it always the developing countries that the cheap, environmentally friendly stuff, while we in the more urban countries have to conserve energy and water, simply to reduce our bills and pollution.
Kevin Lane
Since they are developing, why not just go straight for green?
Urfie True already have the data, information they can learn from the developed countries. Might as well make use to create a better solution.
+Urfie I'm implying that cities should convert to green technology, such as photovoltaic roofs and water recycling systems, all to reduce their pollution and utility bills.
The company making this is Dutch - it would have taken far less time to check than it did to write a comment.
Kevin Lane because im broke
cool
How much water could a human on a stationary cycle pump? And how far? I'd love to see that comparison
Cool pump, simple design easy to install, lightweight, low cost..... what's not to like : )
Beautiful in its simplicity! I can see they focused on industrializing the ancient design so they fit in our modern world.
amazing
I could see this used to make a rudimentary battery. Use this to fill up a water tower. And when power is needed on demand. Open the valve and use gravity to turn a hydroelectric generator underneath the tower.
Or just hook up an alternator to a pack of batteries & use this to power your home whenever you want... No tower required.
@@ebonforce8750 Please look into the limitations of battery storage for why that is actually a terrible idea for most use cases
Nice
How much pressure can it build
more than your mouth can handle
5
1 mile of pressure
The most important question not answered in the clip . I would ask it in terms of maximum elevation to deliver , say 10% flow .
I see at www.hvap.gov.np/downloadfile/Fact_sheet_Barsha_Pump_Thingle_Surkhet_1461148380.pdf : " It lifts water up to 20 meter at 0.3 litre per second "
1KG PSI :3
I dont get it, its the function of a watermill? Weve had them in europe since the medieval times?
It uses the water wheel to act as pressurised pump. Pumps usually require high speed electric impellers to create enough pressure to move water a significant distance.
This is actually a *VERY* efficient design, and as it says *REQUIRES NO ELECTRICITY*
using spiral pump principle...everyone can made it.
This was in India in medieval times too.
E.g. golconda fort
Marcus Gustafsson You may have anything since Jurrasic times... it doesn't proves your intelligence.
p.s. Gratitude towards God and patience and righteousness and kindness towards people make you a confirmed genius.
But we didn't have it Nepal... 😂😂😂
Good machein
You’ve obviously never been to Nepal. They carry water in cans on their heads for miles up mountains at 5 years old. Anything that pumps water for no further outlay is huge. We in western countries don’t understand how valuable and time and effort saving that truly is. We are talking about the Himalayas here remember.
At 1:48, it clearly says that there are no mechanical parts in the pump.
As far as I know, mechanical originates from " mechanics" and there are plenty of mechanics in that pump. I would even suggest that it is purely a mechanical device as it uses the mechanical behavior of water, the lever systems, the torque, and velocities, and angular rotation and bearings and pressure and kinetic energy and potential energy and all the different behavior of water in pipes around bends, laminar and turbulent flow and the bearing would have their grease and oil behavior which touches to Chemical behavior. Since that rotation is occurring in the earth's magnetic field and wood is hygroscopic and water is a conductor then there is electricity being generated within the system. It is far more complex than one thinks.
This is cool and could help millions👏👏👏👍
Up to which height it can pump water, what is its cost and from where we can purchase it.
Want for my village in sult uttarakhand near jim corbet national park..
you guys could start using the SI units already
1:40
That's the point of the river
That music should be made as a ring tone
How do we buy one for a rural area in the United States?
Ok so how do I get one or make it
We should use these pumps in all the drought prone areas
The very fact of being in a "drought prone area"...means lack of water.
No water to put the device into, no water to pump...
El padre Vicente en Zapotillo Ecuador hizo una con palas
Where can we inquire about this?
This will be one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century.
I would add a dynamo generator there for electricity to run an external pup to the pump for more power without connecting any wall power
Cost is a huge factor for poor rural communities. This solution is simple, cheap to build and easy to repair. Anyone can build a rudimentary one with some tubing, hoses and whatever wood or metal sheets that are available whereas generators and electric pumps are expensive, difficult to procure and require specialist knowledge to fix.
Give me hear
I liked the video
An interesting invention, but for some reason, I was more distracted by music...
I’m trying to figure out how high it will pump. I have a creek but my house is about 30ft above the creek
the height is the same as the rolled up hose at the barsha
@@bernarddevera6090 well that’s not much of a pump at all then.
Where can i get this? What is the cost?
Woah the video ins't in 4:3 ratio
Just wanna ask but pump water as in pump into the small pipe so that it can water crops in farms or something like that right?
I guess the water is pumped to a large tank or pond high up and then gravity fed to users, but that wasn't made clear.
Make bigger one it ill pump like a dam
Its can also be used as water wheel which will generate electricity, if it can upgrade that way it will be used as a pump then a machine turbine hydroelectric
r u b0t
I think it is made in nepal 🇳🇵 😍
12tj :D
looks like the pressure is low. how far could it pump uphill?
Depending on setup 5-10 M above the hub. But that is difficult to achieve without some specialised rotating seals.
a nepali invention to help the people around the globe for water problem in hilly region
I was thinking about building an hydroponics basin using a wheel to pump the water...
Great. Would anyone know where I can buy this?
hello. are you still interested?
Amazing idea , Salute to inventor 👌👍
It was invented in Switzerland by Andreas Wirz 1746.
thats a lil pump
Y no sería más eficiente producir electricidad y con la electricidad hacer el bombeo del agua?
Donde es este invento
@Tech insider #barsha means rain not only in Nepalese but also in #hindi and other Indian languages like #odia, .....
Is this availble in philippines?
I know how they works! They use river's potential energy to pump the river water itself.
So it is an Archimedes screw in a new package?
So how does it worked exactly?
pressure builds at each coil
How much head to design this pump sir
2 years ago
This pump so need for my village but how to make this pump
How to make main part this pump plz share me
How to work this pump plz sahre me?
Look for "Barsha " pump on CZcams... There are video's which show how it is made.
They look like they live in quite a green place in the first place. Perhaps they should cultivate edible natives, of which, I am sure there are many, as there are even in my dry hell hole of the world. That way they don't need to take water from the river for irrigation.
The principle of this mechanism is called Wirtz Pump. Water flow rotates the wheel and there is a pipe in spiral shape which pumps the water
Please please kindly how can I make one illustrations please am EMBU kenya
It's actually called a Wirtz Pump.
How does it work
Why would you make a video like this and not explain anything about it? How it work? How much it costs? Etc.
It costs a thousand euro!
It works in a spiral mechanism!
It was first invented in late 1800s!
Want to ask anything else?
@@bryanjy7923 Till what elevation can the water be pumped. Will it be able ti fill a tank which is 30 feet (10 meters) high above the ground ?
Meanwhile I break down after running 5 feet.
It's what's referred to as a 'joke'.
*but can it run Crisis?*
Can you elaborate ur question?
it calls “CharxPalak” in Uzbek. No joke, fact.
How they manage to prevent it from getting clogged
Go India go
The problem is how to sustain the water pressure?
Wow! NOT "created", it is a very old design, and lift is limited to less than the height of the wheel. And to push water a mile requires that the elevation of the hose be constantly falling, we call that a ditch. Seems like a channel called "Tech Insider" would know that.
It can be used to divert a small amount of water away from the stream or river for irrigation or livestock watering, but far from new tech or newsworthy. I researched these water wheel pumps a decade ago as a method to deliver water to my goats.
I'm guessing someone is looking for investors to bilk...
Hi, what kind of swivel joint have you used?
Hi, in America we have hose reels. They are for rolling up the garden hose. I use this system as it is cheap and reliable for a small scale test of the system.
@@uprightfossil6673 Again, what you are looking for has been invented, and only you have to learn how it is named. Yes, "hose reels" is a ready mechanism of a coil pump. Thank you.
@@gondebas I used them because they are cheap for a test. You can spend as much money as you want for this piece. They even have lubricated ball bearing fittings in stainless steel. But the hose reel has worked for years and was as cheap as a sandwich. Cheers
1:51 uh.. Lil' boy pull up yo pants
Please tell can it push water to some height?
If you google search this you will find all the information you need. In short, the lift is dependent on the size of the pipe and the diameter of the wheel and the number of turns of pipe in the wheel. I have seen five to ten meters at reduced volume. Cheers
Cost of this pump in India and how do I get it
