We are installing some new pumps around the island.
Do you have a better idea for pumping water to all of the places we need it?
Please submit your ideas/thoughts.
All are welcome.
Here is mine.
Wirtz spiral pump.
Water Wheels Can Pump Water Over A Mile Without Electricity
What is a Spiral Pump
Wirtz pumps are really clever
That is one cool ass pump! Very smart!
In a way, it reminds me of the hydraulic ram pump I used when I live in the country. The thing about the ram pump is it requires the intake to have some head, at least several feet. But with adequate head, it will efficiently pump water higher than the top of the intake pipe, and it does it 24/7, with literally no input from anyone. It’s all powered by the water falling and compressing the air in the bell. The one I used to use was was considerably older than me, and only required replacing the rubber for the flapper valve when I started using it.
This is a nice representation of how a ram pump works -
And the hydraulic ram’s Wiki page.
Are we about to see the 2024 ammo shortage?
I am seeing the 5.56 being phased out by the Govt.
Then of course we have war upon war upon war.
Does the island family see an upcoming ammo shortage?
Should we stock up now?
Not panic buy like toilet paper but grab what we might need.
Open to all thoughts on this matter.
Peace
Shag
5.56 being phased out? Haven’t heard.
Not that I’m a gun nut or anything…but if I don’t have 1000 rounds for each caliber I own, there’s a problem. I probably have like 15k .22’s lol.
