No matter what type of a "surface pump" the best that can be done is
to create a vacuum so that atmospheric pressure will force water to
the surface from below. 33 feet or so from memory, although if you
want the exact value of suction you could look up the range of
atmospheric pressures in your locality.

Ah. Then all those windmills were pumping shallow
surface water then?


Not hardly. Windmills pull water from what ever depth you need.

Well now we all know that can't be. The poster said that
any kind of pump that gunner made would not work. And that
he was an habitual liar. So it has to be so, eh?
