- A Free Energy Water Pump from 'Learn for Life' is tested. Supposedly it can pump water non-stop without electricity.
Here is another video that also tests free energy water pumps using a slightly different setup. So if you are still sceptical, check it out: • FREE ENERGY Water Pump...

Look into the ram pump also called water hammer pump its very interesting
He has a whole video about the ram pump.
We indeed have a video about a hydraulic ram, check it out here th-cam.com/video/fUNicSOW46E/w-d-xo.html
yep, another source if some one is interested: th-cam.com/video/9NHVmOchAgI/w-d-xo.html
The outlet must be sunk under water to prevent the air goes into the tank. The pump can only ork only if the entire system is air tight and air proof. Water in the tank must be replaced with water from the intake and not to be replaced with air.
It is good if you add preasure tank (as per ram pump. Put bucket with full of water at the outlet and the outlet sink under the water.. Mind you, you cannot put the intake and outlet from the same body of water. The bucket on the outlet can be higher or lower from the source of water. Bigger outlet pipe is preferable to ease the siphoning and withdrawl effect
@@WOT_utwente incorrect. it is a vacuum created in the drum that sucks the water upwards from the ground level.
My friend, try this again. You didn't prime the well side of this experiment. There's stored energy if the water is at the valve, second the seal on the bucket has to be tight, third the volume of the water primed in the bucket has to be greater than the pull force of the water in the tube from the well down. That's what causes the siphoning effect and basically the bucket acts as a negative pressure chamber.
Yeah he did this very wrong. First, the pipe at the bottom didn't feed water back into the basin below to create an endless loop. Not overly necessary, but if you want to prove it can continue to pump endlessly, that would be how. Next, you have to have a complete vacuum without air in the container. He did a shit job getting air out of the container before starting. Also, he had a super small container for the volume of water of the siphon tube.
Right. He should repeat by priming the pipe connected to the water source.
@@HostileRespite Are there any restrictions? How many meters below it can it draw water?
@@zoranpavicevic5710 It all depends on the mass of water in the tank exceeding the mass in the mass in the supply pipe. If this is the case, the next thing is to ensure a vacuum is maintained at all costs. The last thing is to ensure your reservoir and pipes can handle the negative pressure and don't collapse inward. Most pipes are made to withstand pressure OUTWARD, and that is our biggest limitation with this new pump concept. For longer supply pipes and larger reservoirs we may need to look at more robust vacuum container designs like old school archway brick designs to withstand the suction for longer distances. Alas, that's probably an application far beyond your needs... just to say, those are some of the considerations.
I think the limitation would be atmospheric pressure... the ability of atmospheric pressure to push the water up the intake pipe.
You forgot the check valve at the foot of the pickup pipe. Also, the container used to prime the pump has to be airtight. This "pump" relies on the vacuum of water leaving the airtight priming container to draw water up through the pickup pipe much like you sucking on a straw to get water out of a glass. The check valve makes sure there is always water in the pickup pipe as you want as little fluid level drop as possible in the main priming chamber. Have one of these pumps setup to water my raised planters and the shelf planters under them. The prime unit is 55-gallon plastic barrel and the tank it's drawing from is 350 gallons. Another example of how this works is the old pool filter system we use to have. The pump wasn't strong enough to pull water from the pool and through the filter unit, so we put a small tank on the pump side of the filter unit for the pump to draw from. As it did so the air pressure drop allowed the water in the pool to be sucked up and through the filter unit to then feed into the tank the pump was pulling from. This allowed us to ditch the massive AC powered pump the pool came with and use a much smaller DC pump that used solar panels and battery setup to run. Our pool stayed clean with this system until a tree fell and smashed the pool.
I am building a swimming pool this next summer that will generate power for my home. I am very interested in your design.
Purpose of using a barrel is that you do not need any foot valve at the suction side.
he does not prepare the show very well, because he lack of knowledge
@@caaip38 This video is excellent. It shows that a drum „pump“ can not pump any water to a higher level. No siphon, priming barrel or not, are able to do that. No input of lifting energy.
Please have a look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon
The drum „pump“ is an example of a flying-droplet siphon. The video shows that no siphon can bring any water uphill.
Show us with a video!
Its a combination of siphoning & vacuuming not only siphoning. The vacuum created in the container is supposed to pull the water up into the inlet. You are trying to use only siphoning so it cant work unless the source water level is higher than the outlet.
You need to make the output tube much longer to create enough vacuum in the container when the water in the outlet pipe flows out by gravity to pull an equivalent quantity of water back up the inlet pipe to replace the water that has flowed out. Also you could put a one way valve on the outlet pipe to prevent air going up the outlet pipe into the container and messing up the vacuum. They also added inverted jerry cans vertically along the outlet pipe which I think traps any air bubbles moving back up the outlet pipe thus preventing the vacuum in the main tank from getting messed up like it did in your experiment. Another thing I feel the main tank should be big enough to hold enough water & high enough to create a strong pressure on the outflow which will also prevent air getting sucked up into the outlet pipe.
Please give it another try with these suggestions and let us know if it works or not. Thanks.
I agree with your analysis. I am planning on trying the same.
I agree. And also i think this doesnt work with smaller model because we cant also make water smaller XD
This guy does not know anything. Just a fool.
suction is siphoning. much respect for you physist...😂
but the guy only taking about siphoning
most of these systems don't work on one principal. they work on several principles. so to understand the science behind it requires you to understand and appreciate several scientific principles😅😅
@@tuchibigboy3178
The science for this contraption is always the same, but there are rules that this stupid physicist didn't respect, on purpose to discourage people, typical of the Cursed Ones.
What I see, with the lid on the bucket it makes it a closed system, your demonstrations were all open systems, seem like this could make a difference. Just thinking :)
We just did this, and it does work. I don't know what you did wrong, but we used smaller pipes and made sure everything was sealed.
it's the angle of the outlet pipe allowing air to gulp backwards along the outlet.
Please share the vedio
Everything must be well sealed, and even the smallest leak will reduce the efficiency of the system, although will not prevent it from working at least for a period of time until the volume of air within the container reaches a certain level and the volume of water within the container is reduced. The surface of the draining water acts as a piston and creates a partial vacuum.
This simply does not work. Please give us a video of your claim. You have just made a perpetuum mobile. Nobel prize in physics comming?
@@Dingsrud I am still experimenting and if I can get something to work I will post a video about it, I may even post a video if I can't get it to work, just to get clicks and earn revenue from the advertising. Your Nobel Prize idea sounds interesting I had not considered that. 🙂
You are losing your vacuum. Air is getting sucked into the bucket, hence the gurgling sound. You need your outlet pipe to be much longer with an air trap to prevent the loss of vacuum and a one way (or foot) valve on the intake so that water cannot flow backwards. Also, this pump is a vacuum pump, so the larger you can get your vacuum vessel, the better off you should be. It is the difference in the weight of the water in the vessel to the weight of the water in the intake pipe that causes the draw, in principle.
No, you're wrong. If the outflow is higher than the inflow, your "weight" difference is unable to draw water into the barrel. You must place the drain lower for the siphon to work. You have gaps in education. The drain pipe can be 10 km long and still the water column will not be pulled out if the end of the long pipe is
above the level of the pumped water. It always depends on the vertical height of the water column with the cross section of the drain hole, which affects the pressure. The shape of the container, which is also a 10 km long pipe, has no effect on it and therefore it is not possible to pump water to the height in this way. In primary school, volume-independent leveling is taught under the name "Combined Vessels". The pressure in the small and large cross-sections, which is always the same, is taught at school under the name hydraulic piston.
@@DL-kc8fc This pump is not working off of siphoning principles, it is working off of vacuum principles. As long as the outlet pipe is large enough to break surface tension of the water and you put an air trap on the outlet, it should work, but it would have to be recharged after awhile. In other words, it is not exactly a free lunch. You are using more water to move less water similar to a ram pump.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 You've already written it somewhere. I have to repeat - you are wrong. It is a siphon and the siphon is a pressure pipe, so it works with underpressure (vacuum). Everything else (barrels, PET pressure bottles, check valves, etc.) are cosmetic elements that deceive you in third world people (to make it look sophisticated). This is best done with a long drain pipe that gets lost in the field so that you cannot detect that the pipe outlet is below the level of the pumped water. It is still a SIPHON that only works if the outlet (any large or small) is below the level of the pumped water. This is a physically proven principle that you have not tried when you claim that "it could work". :) The "booster" won't help either, because to induce the Bernoulli effect you will need 1000L of water to squeeze out 0.5L of water. Perhaps no one can seriously claim that this justifies the principle of fraud. This is a better water ram (water hammer, etc.) that "knocks out" one percent of the water flowing through the pipe in the stream.
@@DL-kc8fc I wrote that earlier when I thought it was a siphoning process. I now understand it better. It operates on the same principle a syringe operates by, but instead of using human power, it uses gravity to pull a vacuum which then moves a smaller amount of liquid.
" It is a siphon and the siphon is a pressure pipe, so it works with underpressure (vacuum)." A siphon requires the inlet to be at a higher elevation than the outlet. That is not the case with this system. This system has the inlet at a lower elevation from the outlet. The siphoning function will not work with this setup. If there was no one-way valve, the water would flow out of the inlet pipe back into the source. However, the one way check valve prevents this from happening. So when the outlet is opened, water can only flow in one direction. The outlet pipe is too large to maintain surface tension and this breaks the vacuum, which allows water to flow. But if you installed a P-trap to create an air lock, you can prevent the vacuum from being lost all the way to the drum itself. So long as the water tank is a higher elevation than the P-trap, the water should flow because the pressure of the air is much lower than the pressure of the water. If about twice as much water is entering the system as is leaving it, it should draw some of the water into the tank. However, the tank will have to be re-filled by some method that requires energy at some point, so it is not a real solution to the problem. A windmill or some other form of powered pump would be a better option than this.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 Watch a video of another con man who seems to be working with a "vacuum". Under-pressure in a separate vessel has no effect and is only a useless thing that distracts from the usual principle.
th-cam.com/video/apzpfcHnlEQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=CLAYHOUSE
You can see that the external pressure deforms the plastic barrel (from the internal under-pressure), but the water rises reluctantly. Why does the water rise a little? Because the height of the water level in the bucket under the barrel is higher than the outlet pipe (time 0:11). As soon as the water level in the bucket below the barrel falls below the level of the outlet pipe, the water stops flowing, even if there is any vacuum in the barrel and the barrel is deformed by this force with maximum force. It's a SIPHON. Do you understand? No "booster" will improve it.
It works well, I have tried it back home and it did so well by using a bigger water tank and closing the top with a large plastic paper tying it with a rubber and it worked so well for my home.
Was your water outlet below or above the water level of the water source? If it was below I believe you. If it was above you are telling fairy tales.
If you made the same experiment with the output higher than the source and it wored, i’d say you are bluffing.
The major flaw in your design is a freaking lid bucket 😂😂😂
Have to prime the inlet pipe using foot valve and install bigger pipe on the outlet to carry much water volume. The weight of the water will create vacuum inside the tank.
Yes, you are right, it is the weight of water creating a vacuume within the container that is the key to how the system works.
It does work. I built same model with 55gal drum with 20 ft of output 2in pipe and 1in inlet pipe . set pump atop of another plastic 55ga barrel filled with water. I put the inlet pipe into water barrel, had air trap pipe on outlet pipe and reduced the end of outlet pipe to 1in like there example. I opened the oulet pipe and water did draw out of the water plastic barrel.
And how long did the water flow out of the outlet?
Thanks so much for sharing. Please people should shear their findings on Utube about any of those DIY scams that cost people lots time and money. I had spent 20yrs on wood gasifiers with no genuine result on Utube.
@@franklinibiademosi9615 Scam videos are a nuisance. As far as these "pumps" are concerned, the correct statement is simple: when the outlet is higher than the water level in the water reservoir this does definitely not work, never mind what you try with pipe dimensions, valves or other stuff. Water can't be lifted to a higher level without an input of external energy. On the other hand, if the outlet is lower than the water level in the water reservoir, it can work. But in this case no barrel is needed, it is sufficient to prefill the pipes/hoses with water. Water will then flow upwards and downwards by the siphon effect, which was already known B.C. But the downflowing height must be bigger then the upflowing height.
The white bucket you used was not air tight which sucked in the outside air and can not work that way. If you would have used a heavy duty air tight drum so no air can be sucked into it then it should work fine. By using an air tight container filled to the top; as it drains it will pull or suck the water up from the supply water container. By letting the water fall back into the supply water container this should create a continuous flow. I have never tested it but intent to.
The question is will there be a continuous water flow without the drum ever running out of water or does the drain pipe suck up air which will eventually lower the drums water level???? If it works then a small hydro turbine can be added for electricity for the peppers.
It can nor work, and that is his point.
Attention people in the comments. This is the kind person who doesn't follow instructions and goes out of their way to miss inform people. Don't waste your time here.
But your advice is no good. The presentation here shows that the barrel syphon are not able to pump water to a higher level.
I've actually tried to build one of these water pumps and it worked great , you have to make sure the container is air tight and use a check valve on the inlet tube so the water from the source can't go back out.
When you start letting the water out it creates a vacuum drawing water in and the check valve only lets it flow in one direction.
Have you really? WOuld love to try it out too
I was about to comment about the one way valve. Good thing you mentioned it already.
he made it all wrong......
I agree sir. Cause its a vacuum type..not a siphoning type. 👌👌👌
No, you haven't built anything and you're lying in your claim that it worked for you. It's an ordinary siphon. It doesn't matter what you place between the higher level and the lower level, because everything will work as long as the outlet is at a lower height than the inlet water level in the tank. However, it is possible to build a water hammer (water ram or hydraulic impact piston) as an amateur. You need running water, for example from a stream (it doesn't work in a well). Then it is possible to transport up to 0.1 percent of the incoming water by ram. If what you lied about worked, you could bring the outlet water back into the inlet and you would have a perpetuum mobile. Apologize to everyone you mystify.
What you are missing is you have to bleed the water so it is at the level of the inlet(with foot valve at the source's end) thus the water source would be higher than the discharge.
Noop, given that the tank is large enough, the tank will prime the siphon.
I don't even think you knew what you were talking about with this comment. Read it, it doesn't make sense.
Thanks for this video bro!! Sometimes the net can be a rabbit hole
Sorry to oppose your view but this kind of system really works. The VACUUM force created inside the water tank air closed, causes the water to flow freely while sucking the water from the source which is literally lower than the exit or output. However, if not properly made the system needs to be restarted to let it works again.
It really works??? Strange that I see it only working in videos, I never encountered this system anywhere else. If this would work, you could feed the outlet back in the well and you would have a continuous circulation of water. And you could even drive a water wheel with it and generate electricity. A perfect perpetuum mobile! But haven't we learned in school that perpetuum mobiles can't exist?
Why keep saying it works when it doesnt? It physics. It will be the no matter how much money the scammers make from their youtube videos, it still doesnt work. Sorry.
Sorry, does not work unless input is higher than exit.
You should try again. There can be no leaks, there must be valves involved, the bucket must be solid (or it will collapse), intake pipe size should be smaller than the output pipe, output needs more length to generate head pressure, you need 1 or 2 air pressure/capture reservoir on the output side, and you need a 1 way valve at the bottom of the intake.
There is something else to think about. If this pump would work, you could at once build with it a perfect perpetuum mobile. Best proof that this pump does *not* work, never mind what adaptions you try.
Valves are not needed at all.
1- on start of the intake tube or sucking tube in water sorce U need one way valve.
2- U need a pressure "tower" like in ram pomp.
3- the "sucking" pipe cross-section has to be smaller
4- the length of output pipe is not less than 5 metres
and then you are good to go ;)
This boy didn't close the lid tightly. If you watch most videos the make sure air is completely closed out, even by using a piece of plastic sheet.
BINGO!!!! We have a winner.
you do not need any one way valve if the plumbing is correct lenght and air tight. submerge output in an open top vessel to prevent air from intruding back through output pipe. air in this system makes it fail. keep the air out and it will run till there is no more water to pull. i can lift water out of my pool 48" and drop back in. im working on a larger model using an air compressor tank . all other drums have collapsed due to MASSIVE pulling force created by the weight of the down side plumbing. the air getting in IS an indicator that the concept is viable .the fact that noone is taking the air intrusion factor seriously is the reason any of them fail. it works and HOW!
1- on start of the intake tube or sucking tube in water sorce U need one way valve. NO YOU DO NOT
2- U need a pressure "tower" like in ram pomp. NO YOU DO NOT
3- the "sucking" pipe cross-section has to be smaller. NO YOU DO NOT
4- the length of output pipe is not less than 5 metres, NO YOU DO NOT, JUST PUT IT INTO A WATERFILLED SMALL BUCKET.
and then you are good to go ;) NO YOU DO NOT - IF THE OUTLET IS HIGHER THAN THE INLET. You will have no siphon effekt if the outlet is higher than the inlet.
@@KevinFreist xB
I like how the ones who are fooled by the video will argue that you didn't make the model correctly. ...The pipes are the wrong size, the inlet isn't primed, the water is the wrong temperature, the coloring in the water throws off gravity....
You did prove one thing.
You can't fix stupid.
Can you do the same test but with smaller diameter piping
They use closed system capillary action to suck up water into the drum with a one way valve in the inlet pipe to keep the system primed.
correct!
No.
good luck with the 5 droplets of water that the capillary system will give. because it will need a pipe diameter of around 0.5 mm and evaporation to work
You've missed the whole idea/system. It works in a closed system where a vacuum is created in the drum, not an open-top bucket. (This is 6th-grade science class, I guess you missed that.) It's actually a gravity pump, where the volume of the water falling creates a vacuum that draws the water up the intake tube back into the drum at a rate equal to the water draining out of it, but the outflow pipe must be bigger diameter than the input tube. This is what causes the water to be drawn up into the tank. It's critical that there be very little air in the drum for air compresses greater than water. If there is air in the system (bubbles in the draw pipe) it won't work. It is a siphon system.
Oh, and showing a "Water level" is not an exemplary test, for both ends of the tube are open so atmospheric pressure is equal on both sides. That has nothing to do with the Gravity/siphon pump. Neither does your "Bead demonstration"
I haven't checked if WOT has done something wrong, but he is absolutely right that this system does _not_ work. If it would work, why is it nowhere in use? It seems to work only in YT-videos! And it would clearly violate conservation of energy. Lifting water out of a well needs energy. Where does it come from? If this would work, you could build a perfect perpetuum mobile. Feed the outlet back in the well. You would have a continuous circulation of water and could even drive a small turbine by it. To nice to be true! Perpetuum mobiles don't exist.
Thanks, for your encouragement. I 've just concluded an unsuccessful one with 24litire tank. So I will try it again.
You’ve missed the whole idea. In 6th grade you learn that a siphon can not lift any water. And yes, this is a siphon with a priming barrel.
Longer outlet pipe as the glugging sound was air bubbles being sucked up the inlet... just an observation.
Vaccume seal the apparatus properly, it will work. In this closed system when water exits through the outlet; a space is created inside the container. This vaccume space will have to pull that water from inlet to fill that space. Unless there is a leakage in the system where it would pull atmospheric air instead of water.
Myself did it differently and it didn't work, until I did it properly by having a longer exit pipe and it work, infact if it starts to work the pressure is going to compress the plastic bucket. It works and I'm going to do it this time around using bigger drums and better fittings.
We shall live and happy in this world.the wicked shall not prevail. For God is love. Thanks alot.
Thanks for fact sharing guys. Bravo
It simply can not work regardless of output length of tubing. A siphon can not lift any water! If this worked, you could ad a hydropower turbine to the water flowing back and you would have a Perpetuum mobile. Impossible. Dint spoil time and money on this.
I would like to see you test this with a completely sealed tank. I believe the lid allows some air into the bucket. It’s my understanding that it will work if the tank is sealed which causes a suction, like drinking from a straw.
Exactly what I think, also like cypher gas from gas tank
Hi, the fact that you hear the bubbling sound and that water comes out in pulses also means that air gets in via the outlet. If there would be a significant air leak in the seal of the bucket I would expect there to be a continuous flow, then air will not have to enter the bucket through the outlet pipe. That said, it might still be possible there is a small air leak. But considering the bucket used was a paint bucket, which should seal off well, I expect the bucket to be airtight.
You are right that suction pulls up the water. It is however important to understand that this suction force is limited. If you drink from a 10 meter high straw you will have difficulty getting the water up, as you can imagine. In our case the suction force is caused by the downward flowing water. As shown in the video the pressure (or suction force if you will) caused by a column of water is only dependent on the height difference in the outlet. The suction force required to pull water up is dependent on the height difference in the inlet. In other words: if the outlet pipe is higher than the inlet pipe, the suction force created by the water in the outlet is not large enough to suck the water up through the inlet. Therefore you can only pump from a high level to a low level.
And that’s also the takeaway message from this video. Whatever your setup: If you don’t add energy to the system, you cannot pump from a low point to a high point.

@@sothaketh8929 "siphon", not "cypher".
Beautiful illustrations.
Well, there is one exception to the "not working uphill" in Herons watter fountain (cause another principle makes it TEMPORARILY work). Another exception working again on different principle is a ram pump.
Herons fountain is no pump. A ram pump is a total different system. This system can not pump water upwards.
What a great video! The use of all demonstration models really clarifies a lot!
Hi Collin, thanks! Glad you liked it.
You are absolutely incorrect. Your experiment model was built completely wrong. Your inlet was the same star as your outlet, you also lost your vacuum.
th-cam.com/video/BNso60SfUds/w-d-xo.html
@@daviddorshak8811 You're wrong. There is one big fundamental mistake in your reference to the video - the barrel was intentionally built on the bricks above so that the outflow from the barrel was at a higher height and the illusion of outflow could be applied, preferably somewhere behind the bushes. The bucket of water had a higher level than the outflow from the barrel. It is a normal siphon that actually draws an amount of water that is higher than the drain from the barrel. Notice that there is half the water left in the bucket and it no longer works. The pipe in the well did not really pump water because the weight of the water column did not allow it. The water in the pipe acts as a hermetic valve and is not pumped. Therefore, the barrel was squeezed in when the drain was released. This is perfectly legitimate, but it has nothing to do with pumping water. It is very sad that educated civilized people have joined the Third World fraudsters. These people should spread enlightenment and fight against ignorance.
At the most basic level the amount of acceleration (force) is proportional to the pressure gradien(change in pressure over distance). Generally pressure is not conservative (meaning energy loss is guaranteed), but I think head pressure may be uniquely conservative over small distances. Theoretically maybe a fluid pump could circulate its own fluid, but the wall drag and cavitation experienced in real fluid flows would prevent this is practice. I appreciate you addressing conservation of energy and even going as far as to build the thing for people to see, unfortunately I'm not sure you could convince some of the people in the comments on this video of it even if you derived the governing fluid equations from basic principles in front of them
I think it would work, but you would have to recharge it occasionally. The outlet has to be twice the size as the inlet. So, either twice as much fluid is leaving the system as is entering it, or the fluid entering the system would have to move twice as fast, possibly some combination of the two. I think it would be closer to option #1, where more fluid is moving less fluid. Essentially, it is similar to a ram pump, but without the water leaving the system.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 Even "recharging" doesn't work because it's SIFON. The principle of the siphon is that the outlet water column must create such a low pressure that the inlet water column can be sucked in. This can only be ensured by placing the outlet below the level of the inlet water column. If you wanted to "charge" it with the external tank above, nothing would appear on the output. You would have to drill air holes in the external tank and then the external tank would be emptied, but the original tank would remain unchanged. By the Berllouni effect, part of the liquid could be withdrawn from the low-lying original tank, but it is only a ml of liquid, as in a spray. A water hammer or ram is more efficient - it can hydraulically "knock" to a height of 0.1-1 percent of the inlet water column, which requires some minimum flow, as in a stream (it does not work in a well).
@@DL-kc8fc It does not work off of siphon principle. It works off of vacuum principle. The outlet is twice as large as the intake, so more water is leaving the system than is entering it. This creates a vacuum that draws a smaller amount of water up higher than what is leaving the system. It's like having two gallons of water tied to one end of a rope on a pulley, and the other end tied to one gallon of water. Assuming you were able to get this to work, more water would be leaving the system than entering it so you would have to recharge the system by hand or some other method involving energy.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 What you describe is still the siphon principle. The siphon is a pressure pipe, ie it works with a vacuum when sucking open liquid to a lower place than the water level being pumped. It's SIFON no matter what other useless things fraudsters give it to make it look sophisticated. If you had a lower drain hole larger than the siphon suction hole, little water would flow out. As soon as a lot of water flows out, air is allowed to enter the barrel by a valve that is open for video purposes, even if it looks closed in the video. You were deceived by people from the Third World who used the siphon principle in confusing terrain. The laws of physics do not allow water to be drawn through a thin pipe through a barrel with an extended outlet if this outlet is above the level of the water being pumped. No magical things happen. If you add another higher tank of water as a "booster", nothing will happen because it is hermetically sealed. You would have to increase the diameter of the drain pipe so that air can get into it, which will allow both barrels to be emptied. Then a Berllouni effect can occur, which "pulls" a little liquid from the lower level under the pressure (this is the SPRAY principle). But at the cost of enormous waste water consumption. Therefore, I wrote that it is better to use a water ram (water hammer, etc.) in the flowing water of a stream (does not work in a well). It doesn't matter that you are wrong, because you learn by mistakes. If what you think worked, we would have had a water perpetuum mobile and no energy crisis in Europe for a long time. It doesn't work as you would like and no one has a Nobel Prize. Try to include this perspective if you do not have mastered the laws of nature.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 I can recommend a video of another cheater who seems to be working with a "vacuum" to see that under-pressure in a separate container has no effect and is just a useless thing.
th-cam.com/video/apzpfcHnlEQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=CLAYHOUSE
You can see that the external pressure deforms the plastic barrel (from the internal under-pressure), but the water rises reluctantly. Why does the water rise a little? Because the height of the water level in the bucket under the barrel is higher than the outlet pipe (time 0:11). As soon as the water level in the bucket under the barrel falls below the level of the outlet pipe, the water stops flowing, even if there is any vacuum in the barrel. It's a SIPHON. Do you understand?
You forgot the most important part -- the small submersible pump added to the bottom of the pickup tube during one of the cuts in the video. 😂
I did try the drump pump . It worked. Just do exactly how it was made in the original video and you will get results. You need bigger drum to build preaure within the tank. But, if you just want to show things not working you can.i did it pulling water from a 50 feet deep water source.
oh.. great! Probably you try putting some generator in the path somewhere. World will get free electricity. RIP foolish scientists burning coal for so long.. lol 😆
You have to triple the height of your tank and quadruple the length of the output tube to prevent air backflow
read my posts. you are correct.
Noop. Tank is ok. You may extend the horizontal length of the output. In that case it only will take some lonnger time for the bucket to drain.
Quadrupling the length of the output tube won't make any difference.
I’d imagine it would work rather well with the addition of a check valve allowing flow out of the exit only, and into the input only.
A valve (as used here) is a gravity mechanism, sort of a "marble plugging a hole" sort of thing. I do not know of a valve that would work on the output, other than a shut-off.
@@mariana1964 And with a tank, you do not need any foot valve at the intake.
@@Dingsrud Here to help out your buddy? LOLOL!!! You guys are hilarious, obvious, AND oblivious as can be -- but lovable... sort of. In other words, not too bright, but adorable all the same! I remember when I _still believed_ in all that science-y stuff like you still do. That was many eye-openers ago, friends. Most of it is pure BS, though. You will learn that one day, too, hopefully.
Okay, so I'm done here. Yes, the barrel works if done correctly, and yes, you need a foot valve. No, a normal siphon can't pump uphill, but this isn't normal, just like a jet turbine isn't normal, yet works without external input power once it is running. Mankind has NEVER created a pure vacuum, so what makes any of you think we understand the subject well enough to rule anything out?
I meant to say the jet works with VERY LITTLE fuel, not none.
@@mariana1964 I suggest that you take a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/NiThJ9vUagU/w-d-xo.html
You can see that no foot valve is needed. In a normal set up with the output lower than the input, the tank can be used as a priming device. As such, no foot valve is needed.
Thanks for the insight.
@WOT
Good job. Nice demo to debunk the free energy. Do more such videos on free energy electric generators.
There is no free energy involved, the system is driven by the energy obtained from gravity pulling down the atmosphere to surface of the earth at 10.3 tons per square metre at sea level. That is a lot of potential energy, only a small proportion of which is needed to lift a relatively small amount of water up the inlet pipe. However, as usual the devil is in the detail.
Yes!!! Debunk free Energy electric generators. Thanks lol.
@@franklinibiademosi9615 There is energy in this system through gravity, and possibly it is just that no one has yet figured out how to productively use that energy. If people do continue to experiment with it then who knows what someone may discover. For example, after messing about with it, I have now discovered how to use free energy from the wind to drive a similar system, and have posted a diagram on the second page of my website describing that system which will definitely work because it is so simple and is based on known technology. I am not allowed to post a link here, so either search at Google using the term 'sandponics info' or go to my TH-cam channel at '@sandponics' to access the website URL and learn more. I will eventually post a video on my channel describing the pump system, although I need to first build a working prototype to demonstrate.

Thanks, nice to know that

Perpetual motion is impossible. However you can make the pump work the vacume and flow rate needs to be better calibrated.. it may run for hours until the atmospheric pressure drops. It may only run until the reservoir empties or only work for a minute or two. Regardless it won't permanently run off siphon alone. It would need gravity to supply the source of energy into the system. Energy cannot be created or destroyed it transfers no matter how hard we try to lock it into a system that requires work. It's simply not possible. And that sucks.
Perpetual motion is not impossible, the rotation of the planets is just one example…
Good job explaining.
By emptying big drum (big bucket) you create vacuum on the inlet. Vacuum then suck water from low level into drum. Can it work?
Yes, but only if inlet is higher than outlet as with any siphon.
thank you for sharing. you are a good scientist but the actual system you didn't try accurately is a hybrid of creating a vacuum and siphoning. so sealing well is mandatory and the total volume of the higher tank should be larger than all pipe Vol. this type of pump first relies on siphoning and when the volume of water in the higher tank decreases makes a negative pressure to pull up the water from the well. of course, the trapped air, water temperature, and well height are also important. I didn't try this but I am not sure about how long this water pump will work.
NO, he's not a "good" scientist. His foundation understanding is uneducated.
@@guyfaux1494 Since his conclusion - this kind of systems only works if the outlet is lower than the water leven in the water reservoir - is correct, his knowledge of science is quite good. What point do you claim is "uneducated"?
Have you attached a check valve/footvalve in the inlet pipe
One purpose of using a barrel to a siphon is that you do not need any foot valve.
I saw a clip with such a pump and my first thought was, why didn't we come up with that in the summer house? Then on further reflection I realized that it would be the same as turning a bottle of water upside down. Air sucks in in the exit hole. Exactly what you show in the clip here.
You forgot the one way valve on the end of the suction pipe try it again with it
Hi Burgandi, as mentioned, we replicated and tested the setup you can see at 0:15. In their video on this setup there is no mention of a one way valve.
I've seen these pumps used in poorer countries to pull water from canals into palnted areas and you are right the planted area is always at least a little lower than the water level in the canal. the best I can access about the barrel, it is used to make sure the siphon continues if there is a case of the intake pipe getting uncovered some how. It is nothing more than a "siphon storage" so it would be ok so long as if the loss in intake water was no longer than the amount of water in the barrel. Good vid. LOL, some people need to take a physics class.
Thanks lol, even fictions become great inventions this days and better laws of visics are emerging. Just opportunities and scammer we need to be vigilant of. Cheers.
If you have seen these “pumps” working, they bring water from a canal, over a ridge to a rice field THAT IS LOWER THAN THE CANAL. They are siphons with a priming barrel. No siphon can lift any water.
@@franklinibiademosi9615 In regard to water and air pressure no better laws of physics are emerging. If someone claims that this device can lift water to a higher place he is a scammer. Siphons only work to make water flow to a lower place, although part of his path is uphill.
The magic works, as I understand it, when the weight of the water in the container exceeds the weight of the water being sucked up the inlet pipe. As long as the volume of water in the tank is greater than the volume of water in the inlet, and there are no air leaks, it will work perfectly every time.
@@tinfredrickson2880 It doesn't matter how much weight is in the container, it's still just a siphon. Water can only be pulled up by more water going down even farther. By filling the container at the beginning, you are adding that much energy to the system. At most, in a perfect world which doe not exist, it could pull the same amount of water up as it falls. In reality, there are always losses to entropy, and it can never even pull up the same volume of water as was innitially put in the tank. Unless, of course, the outlet is lower than the water intake, in which case it can keep going until the two water levels match.
The supposed "free energy pump" can only pump 200 Lts., which is the exact amount that was already "pumped by hand" by filling it up with buckets. So much for the "free energy".
What if there was a one way valve on the drain ?
Having pumped out septic tanks in Alaska, I realized the limitations of sucking water from below. Also, there were differences in your test setup and the one I saw on another video. The limit is atmospheric pressure. That is what really pushes the water up from below ground, accomplished by removing air from the tank on the septic pumping truck. If the truck is too high above the water level in the septic tank, it won't work. If the height of the water at is highest point is within the physical limit of a siphon, this idea should work. If, as in your demo, air is entering your bucket, of course the demo failed. It could be as simple as air bubbling up the exit pipe for the bucket. A 55 gallon drum with 2" pipes at the drum, down to 1" pipes for suction and discharge (the discharge pipe was 60' long) this should stop air from getting in the drum. It must be absolutely airtight. A 1/8" hole allowing air in would be enough to kill the siphon. The video presenter said the well was 20 meters deep. Looked to me to be less than 12 meters. For your demo setup, connect about 2 sticks (40') of 1/2" pipe past the discharge valve and make sure you bucket is airtight, and I think it will siphon water out of your hole in the ground. The weight of the water in the bucket must be somewhat greater than the water in the suction pipe. Also, pipe diameters matter. Small suction pipe and large pipes in and out of the bucket.
As he said in the video the "weight" of the water isn't important, only the height of the watercolumn counts. If the system is airtight you can disregard the bucket (when it comes to siphoning) so you would be trying to siphon upwards (which does not work).
Tom, your insights from having hands-on experience are helpful. "...this idea should work. If... air is entering your bucket, of course the demo failed... It must be absolutely airtight... make sure you bucket is airtight, and I think it will siphon water out of your hole in the ground. The weight of the water in the bucket must be somewhat greater than the water in the suction pipe." See my comment here for some similar points, and for a link to what appears to be a working version of what he tried to demonstrate.
I think long output pipe helps with streamlining the flow and reduce turbulence, thereby reducing air pockets. Any any small air pockets travelling back to tank are being trapped into the traps and helps maintain the vacuum.
You succumbed to misinformation. You will never pull a water column of water of any cross-section, which is more than 10 m long, with any vacuum pump (not even electric-vacuum) !!! Write this down somewhere in red. No tank works on the magic principle you want to present. The air compressor that sucks the air out of the tank is simply switched on and the tank is filled. If the tank has a lower preferred position, the compressor is switched on to fill the tank better, because the shit is denser than water.
Cheers, lol.
this is actually a top tier video, good stuff
i saw alot of those videos lately, they don't explain the principle
most who works were pumping water from a river to a rice field and i think it's a siphon, the drum is for priming the long line to the field
and i think rice fields are usually lower level than the river, and the system is only used to avoid passing a pipe inside the dyke or the embakment
but one video of a guy pumping water from a well that looks like 2-3m deep confused me
he used a transparent plastic sheet as a cover over the barel to show that water was being sucked
and also, they use a no return valve at the river/well side, and prime the inlet line before opening the outlet line
can you share the link of the video?
My friend think about a seal tight container and only opening being inside the water that must be sucked in by a vacuum created or left behind by exiting water that same sealed container. That vacuum inside a sealed tight container is the one that is pulling water up from lower level into the sealed container while there is an exiting mass of water on outlet. Easy and it work. Your analysis exclude priming, seal tightness and vacuum or suction pressure.
The video shows that this set up can not pump water uphill. No siphon can do that. Excellent video.
Would be crazy about those guys doing all that work for just a joke. Try exactly as they did with large tanks then judge right.
Hi, as mentioned, we replicated and tested the setup you can see at 0:15. The size of the tank we used is pretty similar to the one in this video.
No it'ss not the same.
The hardest part about constructing a perpetual motion machine is figuring out where to hide the battery.
Gewoon een sifon met aan het begin een keerklep bij de inlaat onder water en een expansie boven de uitlaat die een kogelkraan heeft en om te starten de sifon eerst vullen vanaf de expansie die ook weer een schroefkap heeft voor ook goede afdichting.
Try putting oneway valve on both sides, vaccum pressure can bring water from the other side
Please try again.
1. Larger supply tank. The weight of the water in your supply tank must overcome the weight of the water in your wells casing.
2. Smaller outlet pipe, you don’t want air to be able to go back into supply tank.
3. Prime your apparatus of air before pumping water.
1) Tank size is more than adequate.
2) He shows that air will tend to enter the system from the outlet. You see tha water only comes out after a gulp of air has entered the tank. If you dip the output into a tea cup, no water will come out of this system. In fact, if the orifice is smooth enough, you could hold a piece of a thin plastic lid against the outlet. Water would stay in the bucket an no water will come out.
3) He primed the system: filled it with the exit closed. Put an ait tight lid on the bucket. With a bucket, there is no need for filling the suction pipe.
This is just Heron's fountain with extra steps... When you think about it the problem it's actually super simple. You only have one force that acting on the entire system and that's gravity but obviously it's acting on the whole system equally so the water that's supposed to rise up is being pulled down by the same force that's also making the water flow out from the outlet. I suppose if you optimized the design you can make it flow for some time but it'll eventually stop because magic doesn't exist :D
Thanks bro, good explanation.
my sense tells me it would work. science will have to explain it better. real life it should work...
Your uptake inlet valve should be connected to upper tank lower to the bottom vs the top of it. Just as I was typing this someone else also noted its more of a vacuum and siphon than it is a simple siphon.
It is a simple siphon with a priming tank. It does not work since the output is higher than the input.
Build the same thing they did with the same pipes at proper lengths.
Hi Derrick, we replicated and tested the setup you can see at 0:15. The lengths of the pipes match quite well with this setup.
The fraudulent principle can be detected on any scale. Many times, knowledge of natural laws is enough. If you believe it works, why not build it yourself? You're so cunning you don't build it because you know it's a scam. This is a compliment, not a reproach. :)

Oh, no! I am shocked! Another free energy device does not work? The next one, for sure, will!
Aside from carbon fuels, most of the world's energy is produced by "free energy devices". They convert forces of nature into electricity. Simple. And this demo is dishonest because he didn't actually replicate their device. See my other comment which explains.
We'll get there someday! The laws of thermodynamics only apply to people that "believe" them. Over-unity 4 life!
It's a gravity syphon with extra parts. It didn't work because he didn't prime the pump.
And what about photovoltaic panels? They work well. They are dependent on the sun, but no official has yet thought of paying for the sun (so far we only pay for investment in technology), so it is free energy. :) Unfortunately, the water perpetuum mobile from TH-cam is still fueled by the stupidity of those who believe in such devices. Because human stupidity is infinite, so is the free energy they worship in their religion without ever bringing functionality and real benefit. Just the perfect attributes of religion. :)
@@DL-kc8fc You're exactly right about solar panels ("we only pay for investment in technology"). Then it produces electricity. Or build project A, B, or C instead. Does it also produce electricity afterward, without burning fuel and without additional human input? Is that a free energy device?
try sealing the bucket lid tight with tape. I think the gravity and the air trapped inside will suck the water from the basin to the bucket.
I am amazed, you explained this very well, but still an incredible number of people seem to think this will work, without trying it themselves. It also seems after looking at all the comments that the overall intuitive reasoning is that vacuum is involved. It can appear to look that way I guess, and maybe a video explaining that it is not vacuum would be good (you did really explain it, but I'm betting people do not see the significance of your water level in the pipes demonstration), but instead it is low pressure on one side (supposedly vacuum side) and atmosphere pressure (higher)pressure) on the water source side. And that's the kicker; no matter how you make the device, if the water source side has a lower height than the exit nozzle, it will not flow. If you syphon water from a swimming pool, you can suck on the end of the pipe to give the pipe end lower pressure than the source end of the pipe, but then you need to drop the pipe end below the source end of the pipe for it to syphon; its positive pressure at the source that is the mechanism. Adding the Barrel into the system will apparently only confuse millions of people.
Agreed. The barrel is a priming tool so you do not need any foot valve at the source end.
There's free energy and is the capillary effect of water
Just found your channel, great video. I wonder if faking those pumps lets them raise money for real pumps? But there will be disadvantaged who see their "work" and spend what little resources they have on the parts...thank you for debunking. You may save a life.
They are ordinary Clickbait crooks. That makes them money. Look no further for this.
@WOT_utwente i understand that it is a kind of siphoning going on (and yes I understand the principal off siphoning) in a direct siphon your explanation is correct. and i'm skeptical to . but to me the working principal of that pump is that it creates a vacuum in the tank. let me explain. one inch tube of about 3 feet long contains about 0.72 L water. if you have a tank base of about 1 feet times 1 feet, that would mean that a drainage of about 2 inches of water in that tank is equal to 4.5 L of water. so if your tubes inlet and outlet are equal then the pump would stop ( because of equal pressure). there you are right. but when you make the outlet bigger than the inlet. you would create a faster drainage than the inlet. what create a lower pressure/vacuum in the thank. what makes that the thank is forced to fill the 4.5 L(in 2 inches in the tank) that he drained, bye sucking on to the inlet of 0.72 L(in 3 feet pipe). what makes that volume of a drainage of 2 inches water in the thank is equal to the volume of 18 feet suction pipe. and there for it does not work on a siphon but on vacuum. your tank would not collapse due to the vacuum because the suction pipe will fill it up again on a higher pressure inlet than the outlet what makes that pump kinda work, if you find the correct balance between out- and inlet so you won't drain your tank . comments can be made on kurtstael@hotmail.be
Sorry, but you are mistaken. If, and only if, water level at source is higher than at the exit, THEN this siphon will work. And that is what he is proving, it will NOT work because the source here is placed too high, on purpose! There at two mandatory issues to keep a siphon running:
1) Air tight
2) Source higher than output.
The rest are details. Length of tubes, diameter of tubes, barrel or no barrel,…

minutes ago about the Breurram Pump 😳 Please check your inbox
Hi Alvin, thank you for mail. I've send you a reply
It works. I have a working model on my farm. The point is to create a siphon in an airtight container while the entire system is primed. Your experiment lacks isolation of air from the system. P=Mgh
I'll give you infinite money... but you have to get it all at once.
Exactly rights
What you have is a siphon flowing down - the other videos were pretending like they magically siphon water up. That is what will never work. It breaks the laws of physics and the laws of thermodynamics.
@@Kevin-bz8dx We do not care about the laws of thermodynamics or physics. We care that this pump works.
@@skhumbuzocele1330 That might be the most accurate description of the TH-cam comment section I have ever seen
Never be critical. Always be willing to learn.
Yes, and here we learn that a siphon can not pump water uphill.
i think you should consider water inlet and outlet flow rate..
Does not matter at all.
I fell for that in 2023 never seen it before i we been triing to do it for 1 hour this man is a hero😂
I have been watching this free energy water pump videos, but your test is not done properly, its important that the bucket is sealed so air presure will such the water out, so the presure from the bucket coming down will pull air, and that air will generate the suction it would need... also the exit pipe must be bigger than the input pipe... I am not sure if it works, but if not replicated properly is a very bad experiment... apart from that great video.
Same tough, I'm still skeptical but as nothing is done properly here I do not consider it's a definitive proof.
His experiment did not follow the siamese tectnik... Out put mus be bigger but the end of the out put must be same same saiz with the in put..so that the water never stop.. Then he never built the air trap.. It help the presure tu force the water to go out...
Your pipe are way too wide for this amount of water! You get air going up
You may be right. And what he's trying to debunk has a one way valve on the end of the intake pipe. See my other comment about that.
@@trone3630 well that would be just an extra so you don't have to bother topping up every time you start it. The idea is that the pipe dimensions have to be correct for the pump/capillary effect to work out. It'd be the same thing if you tip down a coke bottle it creates vacuum and the bottle shrivels by itself, if you widen the bottle neck it won't be able to do this.
Seeing the tap filters that have lights that turn on when you turn on the water flow. I always wondered if you could use the power of the flowing water to power the pump. By having several of these generators in the pipe can you produce enough energy to pump enough water into a system that replaces what is drained out? Seems to me the water column has the same gravity force on it you should be able to get just as much energy out of the first generator as you do the last one. Good theory for you to test.
No, you can never get more energy out of a system than you put into it. In the real world, there are always losses to entropy, meaning it will stop moving after the innitial energy is dissipated. In a 100% efficient electro-mechanical system (which does not exist), you could get perpetual motion, but you couldn't actually do anything with it, you couldn't use that energy for anything. It's like the Moon orbiting the Earth. If you use it's motion to power anything, it will slow down and fall closer to the Earth. (In fact, the Moon is slowing down the Earth's rotation and moving higher in its orbit, but that's another conversation.) Another example is a superfluid with zero viscocity, wich does actually exist. You can set it in perpetual motion flowing around a tube, but you can't extract any energy from it without slowing it down. Essentially, it's just in orbit like the Moon.
You could generate power from a syphoning system, where the source is higher than the exit, therefore water is dropping in height. like a hydroelectric power plant
@@jabyers Sure, but that is indirectly collecting solar energy (heat>evaporation lifting water). He's talking about a perpetual motion machine with no external energy source.
You missed a lot of details what Learn for Life did. Because it actually works. Please don't put others down.
This video shows that no siphon can lift any water. Learn for life never point out that source must be elevated higher than output for this to work.
Try making the exit pipe around 20 or 3.0’ it will work
Hi, as mentioned, we replicated and tested the setup you can see at 0:15. The size of the pipes we used is pretty similar to the one in this video. For the reasons explained in our video at 5:00 we think changing pipe diameters will not have an effect.
Their setup is different, if you are going to debunk it you should replicate in detail. You forgot to fill the inlet pipe with water first and also the inlet pipe should have a check valve. Plus you have an air leak, it should be air tight. Just saying...
Hi, as mentioned, we replicated and tested the setup you can see at 0:15. There is no mention of a foot valve nor did they prime the inlet pipe in this video.
@@WOT_utwente But you have an air leak. It seems their whole premise is that as the water exits it creates suction. Do it right next time.
You need a Foot Valve (one way valve) to prevent air coming up the outlet pipe. What you are doing is, Creating a Suction inside the closed bucket that pulls the water out of the sump in the ground.
No one way valve is needed in a siphon, but the input must be higher than the output.
For the suction type vacuum
I mean yeah it's basically a siphon on you have a big hole in the top. Would adding a lid change anything?
He has a lid as shown in the video.
Yes bro.. I see Thailand project free energy water pipe pump. 💪💪👍
Try to longer the hose in output did you try it
hi . Try using a 50-liter plastic gallon and close the lid well, perhaps with some silicone to cut off the air completely. And make the water coming out of the gallon back to the tank at the bottom. Silicon must be placed on the pipes as well. Do not use any kind of valves. Just try to close the water outlet with any kind of cover until you will be ready to start.
?
The main issue is the lack of an air chamber. The air chamber helps to maintain the vacuum in the water tank as the water flows. Without an air chamber, the water flow will eventually stop as the vacuum is depleted.
.? What do you mean with an «air chamber»? What is that? I can not see anything lacking in this excellent video, debunking tha clame that a siphon can lift any water to a higher level. With no energy input that is impossible. Just as the video shows.
I have not yet try this theory, but I don't think I see a foot valve and a air pressure from your demo compared to the videos from Learn for Life channel. Please try it again - with these items and make sure that the outlet pipe a little longer. It is very important for us from developing countries to know if this really works.
No foot valveis needed as long as you use a priming baarrel.
For this to work: barrel and tubes must be air tight. Source water level must be higher than output. A siphon can not lift water up from a well.
One should dip the output into a bucket of water to prevent air leaking in from the output.
New friend, watching from Manila, Philippines👍
What about the pressure difference effect
In the free energy water pump videos they put in a check valve on the well side and fill the pipe with water .
With a bucket/barrel there is no need for any foot valve. That is in fact the main reason for using a cheap barrel
Sir thank you very much...l like your video...
And you opened the valves all the way
You have to meter the flow so air doesn’t slug back in from the outlet
You have to allow a vacuum to occur
Talent.... Deep Analysis.
Its make my country someone. And he claim its works!!!
And maybe he is talking right... He advise its can work 3 feet , and use...... Inlet pipe 1", and output Pipe 1.5"
and continuously working. Maybe Success .
Im contacting with him , but now im busy another work.
Thank you.
just another expert youtuber.
Man, people in this comment section live on another set of physics
U r right.if out let of the pipe is lower than the water level in the container then it will work otherwise not.
Agree prime and volume of bucket is important too. All must be filled and bucket 100% air tight. Slightest leak and pump will fail over time.
You can even drop the whole barrel, no need.
You have alot to learn
Isn’t the bucket just acting as a primer for the siphon? Shouldn’t the pipe or hose if filled with water once released, do the same thing
What about a check valve on the one that one that draws the water
Not needed when using a barrel in the siphon. Actually the sole and only purpose of the container. Excellent video, debunking all those videos claiming that a siphon can act as a pump. No siphon can lift water to a higher level, no energy input!
Your pipe diameter is to wide, for that small bucket. You need a high enough volume and outflow to create a vacuum that can suck the water all the way up. Use smaller tube/pipe for the inflow and it will work.
