Default How far uphill can a washing machine pump water?

Arrgh. Ain't nothing easy.


If the washer was made in China, Taiwan, or any other foreign country,
throw it away. If it was made in America, you should be able to pump
the wash water to the moon. Since the moon is lacking in water, the
occupants up there would appreciate your laundry water. However it
will take over 5000 gallons of PVC cement to glue together all the 10
foot sections of PVC pipe to reach the moon. You better start glueing
those pipes now.


Um, use the 20 foot sections, it will only take half as much glue. ^_^


Drinking straws and duct tape. Straws are available free at your nearest
fast-food establishment.

Calculating the number of straws that need to run in parallel and the
amount of duct tape required is left as an excercise for the reader.

(it's possible that a push-fit between straws would even be sufficient,
in which case total cost = 0)
