Investigation of tornado-type wind-powered water-pumping system
Wei Tao
Abstract: Tornado-type wind-powered water-pumping system consists of Tornado-type tower and pressure difference water-elevating device. The flow entering the tower forms a strong vortex which creates a low pressure region at the bottom of tower, and this low pressure makes it possible for the pressure difference water-elevating device to lift water. In this paper, the model tests of the wind-powered water-pumping system was conducted and the results of the tests prove that the principle of the system is correct.
