NEW APPARATl'S F*»R
RAISING WATER BY
l'#l\G NATURAL ENERGY
Water-lifting apparatus, which
seems to flout the natural law that
water cannot run uphill, and which
the tremendous energy of the rising
tides may be harnessed for use by |
man. is an invention of Thomas G.
Allen, graduate of Washington ,Tni
verslty, St. Louis, and now a British
subject. The "Hydrautomat," as the
apparatus Is called, is the result of
two years of experiments. A work
ing model has been viewed by
scores of engineers, some of whom
have been baffled by the simplicity
of the cycle of operation. It hus lift
ed water 20 feet above the river j
level.
The hydrautomat Is designed to
raise water in auy quantity from a
running stream to any desired
height without the use of standerd
equipment such as pumps, rams or
water-wheels. The appuri\|us har
nesses two natural sources of en
ergy. the weight ol a column of
water and atmospheric pressure By
means of a series of tanks one'
above the other, and a sluice-gate. |
which alternately brings suction and I
pressure forces into play, SO per
cent, of the energy of the pressure
water used is obtained. Tire height
required is reached by carrying the j
series of tanks, alternatelng open |
and closed chambers together with
height.
Unlimited Scope.
It Is believed there is unlimited ]
scope (or the hydrautomat ou
streams where hydraulic power de
velopment are not feasible because
of the small amount of fall. One ,
of the first applications is expected
to be on irrigation projects.
In a broad sense, according to:
the inventor the purpose of the I)
hydrautomat U to convert tlie con-'
tallied energy of large quantities of!
water at a low bead into that of i
a smaller quantity of water at aji
high head, or to compel a stream:
to hoist part of Itself up over the
land for commercial or agricultural
purposes. The principle Is fixed
the application is to be determined
by local requirements.
World patent rights have been
Issued. It appears that in the'
world's invontive records the prin
ciple of the hydrautomat has been
remotely approached, but never at
tained.
