Bicycle Powered Sump Pump
Ron:
RH Is there a bicycle powered water pump available? A simple way to keep RH the basement dry when the power goes off, if so. RH RH I can't find any. It ought to be simple though. Another possibility would be to have the bicycle connected to a generator/alternator to charge a battery. There are battery-operated sump pumps available. - ¯ barry.martinþATþthesafebbs.zeppole.com ® * You made my day. --- þ RoseReader 2.52á P003186 þ The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA 563-359-1971 --- þ RIMEGate(tm)/RGXMod V1.13 at BBSWORLD * |

pedal,would be required to run a sump pump? You need to do more research. Pop "barry martin" wrote in message news:1341890004.8787.23.1457548.1359093474.RIMEGat ...

And you'd be in the dark with, perhaps, more important things to worry about (or at least OTHER things to worry about). Get a solar panel or 4, a golf cart battery and an inverter/charger. |
