Air Lifting
wrote:
If I recall correctly , the air lift method works by adding air to the
column of water in the pipe. With the added air, the column weighs
less and the water/air column will rise to the height where its weight
is the same as the weight of the pure water.
Not a great explanation, but anyway the lift of such a system is
limited. In short I don't think it will work for your application.
Right. In other words, it works great in an environment already
filled with water, like a swimming pool, or the ocean. But, it won't
work well, or at all, where the density outside is 100 times lower, like
the air. You don't have the equivalent head of water at the inlet side
in that case.
