I want to lift the water up to 10meters high in order to gravity feed my reserve tank without pump.?
Question:lift water from a well up to 10m high before it gravity feed the reserve tank below for the house to use without any pump.
Answers:
There is a device called a water [or hydraulic] ram pump. Up side is it works without any power source. Down side is it uses something like 2 gals. of water to raise 1 gal.
I cannot imagine how you would move water without a pump or propeller of some sort.
Is this a trick question?
Perhaps you can pedal a bike that turns one of those old style (saw mills that were turned by) <large water wheels>
(powered by diverting river current).
You are talking about a bit of force to send water up against gravity. I would suggest using a very low pitch on a spiral-like pipe. (imagine a slinky where the metal band is the water pipe surrounding the 10 meter tall tank). The problem is you still have to pump it, but this method will create the least resistence, and so the most efficiency. Now you have to concider the rate at which you would use the water from the tank, so you can accomedate filling it at an equal or greater rate.
I just thought of another idea.
Steam.
Perhaps you could use solar heat focused with maginifiers to boil the water. The steam would rise and condense in the tank. Everything would have to be tightly sealed and able to withstand the pressure steam would create.
Bucket & a rope? OK, how about a hydraulic ram...your question is a little vague... the no pump thing is the problem, to lift water that high your going to need some form of power. the ram might work in a spring situation but to pull the water straight up you need a pump.
If you size the hose right, and get the elevation correct, you can use capillary action to do just that.
Fool around with it a while, you'll get it right, and it'll work.
Just from what I know about siphoning, you may have to hang the hose 5 or 6 feet higher than the tank to get it to draw the water and fill the tank.
Even though the hose is 5 or 6 feet higher than the tank, the end opening of the hose needs to be barely above the tank. That insures the capillary action. You will have to start with a primed hose.
From what I know about metrics, you are wanting to elevate the water 30 feet or so. Easy, one Saturday afternoon and a 12pk of beer and it'll be perfected
In the 1920s, 18 countries issued patents to Bellocq for his amazing pump which apparently violates natural law. By creating compression waves in a pipe, water can be forced to run uphill beyond the 33 foot limit imposed by Toricelli's law.. To force water higher, authorities have agreed that it must be pushed from below. To convince patent examiners that this was not some form of perpetual motion, Bellocq installed his pump atop a building & invited patent officials to examine it. They saw it draw a steady stream up a pipe 80 feet high. Not until they dropped weights down the pipe and found no hidden machinery did they believe their eyes, acknowledge that Bellocq had discovered a new principle, and granted his patent.
In Bellocq's pump a piston vibrates rapidly with an extremely short stroke. It deals hammer like blows to a column of water in a pipe. His theory is that when the frequency of the blows is precisely timed for the length of the pipe "stationary waves" are set up.
Layers are formed where the water is alternately rarefied and compressed without moving. Midway between top and at the bottom are regions where water rushes alternately up and down because of the waves.
When a one-way ball valve is added at the bottom, water enters from outside at one point in each wave cycle, to replace water moving upward from the bottom of the pipe. Once inside, it cannot back out. Every influx of water "inches" the whole column upward, without interfering with the waves that travel trough it. A valve at the outlet, while not essential, improves the efficiency.
