The water hand-pump with pendulum

Veljko Milkovic is a Serbian inventor living in Novi Sad, who has several inventions and patents in the field of alternative energetics and ecology. He has demonstrated

his invention in practice on all major technical reviews in Serbia. On the Teslafestival in October 2002 held in Novi Sad he has demonstrated a working model of a water hand pump with a pendulum, which delivers more energy than what is required for its operation. The device has been made of exclusively recycled materials to show that it can be realized with extremely cheap materials in an environment friendly way. It consists of a commercial water hand-pump, a double lever, and a pendulum as shown in the picture below.

The double lever is made of a reused 3/4 size kids bike-frame, and the pendulum (red) is an old piston of a big diesel motor combined with a heavy block of iron. Significant manual work is required from the operator to pump the water directly with the hand-pump, and one is getting tired after continuous prolonged pumping. The same pumping work can be accomplished with much less invested energy if the

arm of the pump is attached to one side of the double lever, and the pendulum at the other side is kept in motion by manually giving a slight push to it every few cycles (10-20 sec.). Milkovic states that his double pendulum (or multilevel oscillator) generates about 12 times more output energy than the manual input energy required to keep the pendulum swinging. The rough translation of some excerpts from his Serbian patent (from the book Perpetuum Mobile by Veljko Milkovic and Nebojsa Simin) is given below.

Water Hand-Pump With Pendulum

The essence of the invention: The essence of the invention is that the vertical up-down moving of the piston through a system of levers is done indirectly with the help of a pendulum attached to the end of the double lever, where otherwise with the already existing solutions we would act with hands. In order to move the piston and lever up and down it is necessary only to give the pendulum a push that represents much less effort than the direct action on the lever, since this way besides human power, the power of gravitational potential is also used as driving power. The action of the hands is required only now and then due to the friction resistance to maintain the amplitude of the oscillation for a continuous intensity of water flow. The pump is functional with all amplitudes, but the best performance is achieved with an amplitude of about 90 . Additional advantages of this pump compared to the already existing solutions are: After giving a swing to the pendulum both hands are free to handle the water. The pendulum can also be a childrens swing, so that useful work can be also done through playing.

Detailed description of the invention: The figures show the water hand-pump with pendulum, which is made of cylinder

(1) with the piston (2), the system of levers (3), see-saw (4), and pendulum (5). In order that the see-saw and the piston would also oscillate together with the pendulum, the side with the piston should be heavier than the side with the pendulum, and for the best performance about 50% heavier than the centrifugal force of the pendulum, which appears when its swinging amplitude is 90 . If the two sides of the see-saw are not of the same length, it is necessary to do calculations through the moment of forces around the point where the see-saw is resting on the support. In accordance with the spirit of the invention, when the pendulum is in rest, or during the swinging it is at the upper points of the amplitude, the piston with the system of levers will overweigh the other side of the see-saw with the pendulum, and it will fall into the lower point. The piston will rise to the highest point when the pendulum passes through the bottom vertical position during the swinging, because in these moments the centrifugal force of the pendulum will also act besides the weight, and since their sum is bigger than the weight of the piston, they will overweigh on the see-saw and in this phase the piston will push the water out of the container (6) into the outlet pipe (7). In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, in order to start the flow of water from the pump it is necessary to move the pendulum out of the equilibrium, after which an oscillatory movement of the piston is established, and a continuous flow of water results. Due to the friction resistance, the pendulum should be pushed by the hands only now and then in order to maintain the amplitude of swinging and continuous intensity of water flow. The pump is functional with all amplitudes of the pendulum, but primarily with an amplitude of 90 . The advantage of this invention compared to the already existing solutions of handpumps are: less manual force needed to operate the pump, less waste of water, and both hands can be used to handle the water.

CONCLUSIONS
Models of perpetuum mobile and inertial engine described in this book are based on the effects of the forces of inertia. In fact, ten inventions are described which are, in mechanical sense, multi-level oscillators operating together. The first oscillator in the series is a physical pendulum or an eccentric fly-wheel, the second is a lever or a wheel, and the third is the base (the ground, a vehicle or an aircraft). The movement of the first oscillator causes forced oscillation of the next oscillator in the series. The author of the first nine inventions is Veljko Milkovic. These inventions are actually different possibilities of application of the multi-level oscillator: 1. Water hand pump with pendulum 2. Fan with pendulum 3. Mechanical hammer with adaptable pendulum weight 4. Press with pendulum and magnets

5. Water pump with pendulum and electromagnets 6. Electrogenerator with pendulum and magnetic buffers 7. Wind propelled electrodynamo and gravitational potential

8. Electrodynamo with elastic pendulum handle 9. Electrodynamo with double lever and eccentric mass windmill. The author of the tenth invention is Nebojsa Simin. This invention is a universal device for power generation and movement by inertia: 10. Electrodynamo with eccentric flywheel and electric motor.

The perpetuum mobile is based on the work of the second oscillator which obtains power solely due to the movement of the first oscillator it is connected to, and not its work. That is how the law on preservation of energy loses its validity. This occurs due to the fact that the first oscillator is connected to the second one via the reference point of the system of reference in which the second oscillator moves. The force of inertia that causes forced oscillation of the lever or the wheel is the centrifugal force of the pendulum or the eccentric fly-wheel which is responsible for the oscillation of the lever or the wheel, but does not perform work in order to cause oscillation of the physical pendulum or rotation of the eccentric flywheel. The inertial engine operates thanks to the centrifugal force which affects the mass center of the wheel during forced oscillation around the determined balanced position. Therefore it also affects the base. The work of this force of privileged direction does not affect the oscillation of the wheel, so its operation in the reference system in which the wheel oscillates is equal to zero. However, the same force affects the reference body of the system in which the wheel oscillates, that is the base. In this way, the wheel together with the base accelerates in reference to an imagined inertial system of reference. In relation to the Earth the direction of this acceleration can either be horizontal or vertical. In case it is horizontal the engine can be used in ground transportation. In case it is vertical, it is an anti-gravitational engine. In fact the inertial engine accelerates in relation to any point in the Universe, in other words it can operate even in the conditions of zero gravity. This means that this engine can move an aircraft in a desired direction without using reactive fuel. The perpetuum mobile and the inertial engine do not use external sources of energy except at the moment of starting its operation. This significantly changes the situation concerning power supply and environment protection in relation to the currently known one.
