Show HAS TANKLESS WATER WORKS Pneumatic Pump Invented by Kansas City Man Manipulated by Comprised Com-prised Air How It Operates. A tankless water works system In the farmhouse or about the place, with any pressure desired, is the object ob-ject William It. Cumberland, a Kansas Kans-as City Inventor, has sought and now believes he has attained In a pneumatic pneu-matic pump. An experimental pump was put Id at the plant of the New-land New-land Ice company, Kansas City, Kan., last fall and worked successfully three months, until It was taken out for demonstration elsewhere. The apparatus Is absurdly simple to look at. Two cylinders with floating valves Inside are Installed In the well or cltiteru from which the water Is to be pumped. Air is stored In a tank to any pressure desired, by electricity, wind mill, gas engine, steam or even by hand. The tank Is connected with a rocker valve working between the two cylinders. When a flow of water Is desired the turn of a faucet or any opening of the system causes the compressed air to lift the water In a constant flow out of one cylinder, the other meanwhile filling with water aa the air Is ei hausted. When full of water the valve ; Ml 1 1 if t! f k Ml srT' , n ft i A Pneumatic Pump. twitches automatically and the other ryllnder being full of compressed air he flow of water proceeds without irnmtlon. f 4m iiZ'J ' g0T" TfTud f) rhetpTurDi? Toe air tank, which may be stored at odd times, the :ompresHed air being required only as water la used. It Is expected that the Dew pump sill be modified to handle large qualities qual-ities of water at low pressures for rrlgatlng purposes. Patents were ob-.alued ob-.alued recently by the Inventor. |
