  • Introducing the Bunyip pump:
    Pumping water with water, only.
    No electricity or fuel needed.
    The Bunyip pump is a gravity powered water pump designed and manufactured in Australia

    Filmed at Noosa Forest Retreat Sunshine Coast Queensland, with Ian Trew.
    Noosa Forest Retreat is a Permaculture Education Centre & Community in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. The Noosa Forest Retreat is also running an residential and online permaculture course and online community / permaculture community magazine.
    We cover natural energy and energy efficiency along with 36 other units in our 72 hour 12 day permaculture course.
    You can choose to do the Noosa Forest Retreat permaculture course either online or as a full residential at Noosa Forest Retreat.

    WHAT'S THIS VIDEO ABOUT?
    In this video Ian Trew interviews one of the co-founders and inventors of the Bunyip Pump: Brett Porta. Brett explains some unique details and the benefits of a gravity powered Bunyip pump, which will last for many years, decades actually.
    All this, without any power/electricity or fuel needed. And, how easy the pumps are to maintain over years.
    What's the difference between a Bunyip pump and a RAM pump?
    Unlike a RAM pump, the Bunyip pump can operate on low pressure and is self-regulating.

      Anyone can talk about as much as they want, but 99.999999% of it is just people creating hoaxes. You make a free energy device that checks out and guarantee you that EVERYONE will be very interested.
      There is absurd amounts of money and research spent on improving efficiency. You really think that not a single engineer would love the holy grail of free energy? It is just that it is essentially known fact to be impossible, so almost certainly not worth someone's time and resources to treat 9999999999999 hoaxes as viable to find something that might be worth the effort.
      If it is made and works you better believe that people wont have to be found to come to you. The people will find you if free energy is actually proven.

    • @Jasoninee

      No. That is ridiculous. Automobiles went from like the teens in mpg to now over 30 mpg and also electric cars that can run on off grid solar. Engineers and big business are not avoiding or adverse to getting more energy from less input. That is quite literally a huge focus of theirs.
      IF this actually happened the inventor would definitely need to decide how and who to work with sooner rather than later. IF it was true and the technology was held without distribution of some sort, then I guess it would be possible someone is going to come after you. Come after you to get it... not to bury it. An engineer would absolutely love to have technology presented to them that absolutely beats their current prospects. There is not some crazy entity taking people out for free energy devices. It is essentially an awful place to try and remain because out of 9999999999 claims there have been exactly 9999999999 motivated hoaxes or complete misunderstandings of physics.

      No, the power feed water supply and the water being pumped can be entirely separate, which is another score over a simple ram pump. This way you can use a copious but dirty water supply to push a low volume but clean spring water supply to wherever you need it; this could be important if you are using the water for animal or human consumption.
