  • Abstract:
  • The study used the mechanical motion of playground seesaw as a means to produce pumping action. The study aimed to design a low-cost prototype energy contraption using playground seesaw using locally available and recycled materials. Pump is an innovative concept which pumps water from a bore well, a sump or a rain water harvesting tank. It uses playful energy of the children or the operators collectively to pump water. See-Saw pumps use the force lift technology to draw water from a well to an overhead tank above the ground level for storage and distribution. It does not require electric power. See-Saw pumps work on the same technology and use the reciprocating motion to move the valves of a water cylinder. The technology below the ground is same as the hand pump technology, hence making it very easy to maintain at the village level.
