Hundreds Of Meters
Technical fields.
Hydro power.
By using the fast falling water stream to rotate a turbin and produce electricity.
Fill tanks on top of hights (mountains) to reuse when we want a high flow rate (by rapid evacuation of tanks).
Change climate conditions.
Water is sent up carrying temperature of the ground to the top then is cooled and goes down to carry lower temperature to the ground.
Cultivate hights
In hot climate areas (or seasons) we can push water up to mountain tops to cultivate the low temprature plants.
Tourism
Touristic residencies on hights can be easly served with water with low coast.
Artificial water - falls
By pushing water (from the sea for example) then let the water streams falling down. Background Art.
Sending water to high mountain or high building is a hard process coasting money and time. As we are talking about working against gravity.
Most countries wait until time of minimum electricity consumption to direct power towards huge electric pumps to push water up and store it till time of maximum energy consumption (when water is let to fall down on turbines to produce electricity).
Problems in previous art
We need large quantity of energy to send water up against gravity. The ammount of electric power production is much less than consumed by pumps.
Coast of raising water is high.

Components
1 - the pushing power (crane) (fig.1 - no.1 ) A heavy crane that can raise 300 tons
2 - plate of the crane, (fig.l- no. 2) Strong metal plate fixed to crane wires.
And moves up and down with pull or release of wires
3 - large syringe - like pump (fig.l - no. 3) Composed of a body (fig. 1 - no. 3) and a piston (fig.1 - no.16) The body is fixed to a frame (fig. l - no.10) from up and Down, and both sides.

The piston arm (fig. l - no. 14) is fixed to the plate of crane, That pushes arm when goes up and pulls it when it Gotes down. 4 - main pipe . (fig.1 - no. 4)
Nozzles of pumps (fig. l - no.15) are united to form one common (main) pipe.
5 - ascending pipe . (fig.1 - no.5)
Its lower end is connected to upper end of main pipe and End of filling pipe, (fig. l - no.8)
Carries water up several meters.
I will describe a hight of 800 meters (a mountain).
6 - one -way valve of ascending pipe . (fig.1 - no. 6)
Located at lower part of ascending pipe and allows water to go up from pumps to ascending pipe but not the reverse. 7 - filling tank, (fig.4- no. 7)
Receives water from the descending pipe. (fig. 1 - no.13) Filling pipe comes out from it.
Water level inside is high to create pressure enough for pushing water to fill pumps.
It is on top of each crane, to make flow easy, (or large tank on the ground that can serve several cranes at same time)
8 - filling pipe, (fig.1 - no. 8)
Starts from filling tank to reach connection between Main pipe and ascending pipe.
Its diameter is wide to allow fast flow from filling tank To pumps
9 - one - way valve of filling pipe . (fig.1 - no. 9) Located on the fillinf pipe and allows water to go from Filling tank to main pipe, but not the reverse.
10 - frame within which , pumps are fixed . ( fig.1 - no. 10) It is firmly fixed to body of crane and to the ground.
It firmly holds pumps from all sides. The upper frame (fig. 1- no. 1 1 ) is pierced with nozzles of Pump bodies . (fig.1- no.15) The lower frame (fig. l- no. 12) contains holes for piston Arms to move up and down.
1 1 - descending pipe . (fig.1- no.13)
After water goes up it falls down through this pipe.
It reaches the turbin, then after that pours its
Content into filling tank.
One descending pipe is enough to receive water coming From several ascending pipes.

15 - turbine. For energy production . Prepare for work.
Pumps ( fig. 1- no.3 ) are held by the frame ( fig. 1 - no .10) . Their piston arms are fixed to the plate ( fig.l - no. 2).
Each pump top ends with nozzel (fig. l- no. 15), then nozzles
Are combined in one main pipe ( fig.1 - no. 4) .
Filling pipe (fig. l - no. 8) and the bottom of ascending
Pipe (fig. l - no. 5) and top of main pipe (fig. 1- no. 4) , join At t-shapped connection, (fig. l - no. 17) A one-way valve is fixed at lower end of the ascending
Pipe (fig. l - no. 6) allowing water to pass up only .
Another one - way valve (fig. l - no. 9) is fixed on the
Filling pipe, allowing water to pass from the filling
Tank only . How it works
Apply two basis ,frist one is power needed to raise the crane plate must exceed sum of : weight of water within pumps + weight of water column within the ascending pipe + weight of the piston(s)+weight of plate + friction forces
Example If total weight of water inside pumps is 60 tons and weight of water column within ascending pipe is 160 tons ,
So we need a heavy crane (i assumed a 300 tons crane) to
Work against weight of water in pump(s) and ascending
Pipe (60+160=220 tons)
The remaining capacity of 80 tons is left to combate weight of pistons and plate+ friction forces.
Second base is ,
A volume in a container with short hight and wide base gets a considerable hight when transferred to another container with longer hight and narrower base
Example .
If volume of water in a pump with hight = 2 m
And base = 3.1428 m 2 , is transferred to ascending pipe with base =
0.196425 m 2 , then water will reach hight of 32 m.
(2 x 3.1428 = 0.196425 x 32 )
If at same time, 10 pumps push up, then the gained hight
Would be 10 times. (320 meters) Steps of work
At onset of pushing (fig. 2)
Pumps are full (fig. 2- no.l ) , plate starts to move up
(fig.2- no.3) by pull up of crane wires (fig.2- no.2).
And hence pistons are pushed up.
Water under pressur opens valve of ascending pipe
(fig.2 -no 4.) And closes the valve of filling pipe. (fig.2 - no.5) Then water passes up through ascending pipe and gains
Considerable hight. At onset of filling, (fig. 3)
Pumps are empty (fig.3 - no. l) as pistons pressed all water towards main pipe.
Crane wires start release and move down. (fig. 3- no. 2) And plate strats moving down, (fig 3 - no. 3) Now pressure force from crane is nil and the valve of Ascending pipe will close (fig.3 - no.4) by weight of water Column within ascending pipe , while valve of filling pipe Will open (fig.3- no.5) by pressure from filling tank and Suction force created by pistons on moving down
Speed of plate to go down is slow at frist (only weight of both plate and pistons pull down).
Every volume from filling tank shifted to pumps will add more weight, so plate goes down slower at first, but every second pass, plate goes down faster .
After filling ascending pipe , every volume pushed from below in ascending pipe , pushes equal volume to descending pipe to fall down.
Water gains more kinetic energy due to high speed from long hight, so as when reach turbine produces electricity.
Then water continue downwards within lower part of descending pipe to refill the filling tank .
At end of injection (pushing) phase we allow another crane to work in order to mentaine a continuous non - interrupted stream (One crane in pushing phase while another craneis) in filling phase .
We can use one descending pipe to receive water from several ascending pipes .
A tank may be fixed on top of the mountain to collect water until needed.
Water circuit starts with water from filling tank travels to pump , then ascending then descending pipes and finally comes back to the filling tank. Any losses can be compunsated by adding water to the filling tank. Water is an example , but other fluids can be raised up by same way . Calculate energy output .
I will chose some measures as an example to simplify my idea. I will consider π = 22/7 (3.1428). We can change the given measures according to demand And circumstances .
I will describe 10 syringe - like pumps
With each one radius = one meter, and hight = 2 meters
So, area = 3.1428 x 1 x 1 = 3.1428 m 2 .
All carried on and fixed to the plate (fig. l - no. 2).
The crane wires can raise up several meters , here i will assume only 2 meters.
So the volume in pumps while it is full =
10 pumps x 3.1428 m 2 (area) x 2m (hight) = +/- 60 m 3 (+/- 60 tons).
Speed for crane to raise up its cargo vary from one to several meters per minute, here i will assume only
One meter per minute, (faster rates gives better
Results)
Radius of ascending pipe is smaller , i will assume 0.25 meter ( area = 3.1428 x 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.1964 m 2 ) Calculate flow rate
Crane raises pistons in rate of one meter / one minute
= one meter / 60 seconds (i.e. Evacuate pumps in two minutes)
So volume per second = 30 m ÷ 60 sec = 0.5 in /sec.
(this means that velocity of water running within ascending pipe will be +/- 2.65 m / sec.)
Calculate electricity production
Formula states that : energy iwatte / see l =
Flow rate (0.5 m 3 /sec) x hight (800m) x gravity (9.81 m/sec 2 ) x
denistv (1000 kg/ m 3 ) x turbine efficiency (90 %.)
= 3531600 watt/second
(turbin efficiency is variable but recently it can reach 90% or more)
= 3,531.6 kilo watte / second
= 3.53 mega watte/second
In this rate we can get 12.7 giga watte/houre
In case we keep pushing water up for 20 houres in same previous rate to fill tanks on top of mountaine ,
Then evacute it within 2 houres , we can get 10 times flow Rate and hence 10 times energy production .
We can use smaller hydrolic lifters, and modulate the above mentioned measures if we need less energy.
In cases of resistance or technical defiiculties from pushing through ascending pipe with small diameter, we can decrease hight and increase diameter of it. (this will decrease energy output to some extent)

• Pump cavity is full.
• Crane wires start pulling up.
• Plate start moving up to pree on piston arms.
Under the pushing pressure of crane which is much more than sum of both weights of water column within ascending pipe and that exirted by the filling tank, so :

• Pumps are empty .
• Crane wires start release and move down
• Plate starts to move down after it was at its uppermost position . (no further pushing)
Now pressure from cane is nill so:
4. The one way valve of ascending pipe closes under Weight of water column within ascending pipe.
5. The one way valve of filling pipe opens under Pressure from the filling tank.
