| description | The project was about the construction of a force pump as a teaching aid using locally available materials. The project used materials that included a syringe that acted as a cylinder with a piston having a handle; a bottle of soda that acted as a reservoir, two valves of a bicycle tire, panga, a container with water used as the water source, pipes, and a wooden stand.
During the construction of a force pump, A syringe with a piston was assembled with two valves of a bicycle tire. The syringe that acted as a cylinder with a piston and the reservoir was then mounted onto the wooden stand that enabled the force pump to operate properly under the principle of up-stroke and down-stroke. The inlet valve B and the outlet valve A were fixed in a way that during the upstroke, valve B opened and valve A closed, then during the downstroke valve B closed and valve A opened.
During the upstroke, the piston drew water through an inlet valve B into the cylinder while on the down stroke, the water was discharged through an outlet valve A into the reservoir thus water was obtained through the spout. |
