Lots of people feel that the wheel is the most important invention ever. Well, maybe, but imagine a globe without pumps Pumps are used en masse everywhere and in every sector in the world. With no pumps the planet would come to a dead stop - no h2o, no fuel and no heartbeat for a few patients, very little food manufacturing, etc. - the implications are just too terrible to think about.

Pumps are tools utilized to transfer fluids, such as liquids, gas and slurries from one location to another where pressure is required to effect the movement. Where do we encounter pumps? There is almost not a place or application that is not dependent on pumps.

The farming sector is dependent on pumps for tractors and other devices to be fed fuel, for irrigation, for crop spraying, for extraction purposes and for the input and output of bulk carriers. There are naturally more applications in this industry.

Motor vehicles use pumps in more than one way but without a pump no fuel could reach the motor under enough pressure.

The health world is reliant on pumps for heart lung machines, ventilators and other life saving systems. One's heart itself of course is also a pump.

Mining is heavily reliant on pumps in moving water and slurry around. Slurry is a thick suspension of solids, like rock particles, in fluid (normally water).

The petroleum sector is very reliant on pumps both to pump it out of oil wells but additionally in the long range transport of the product - think of the Durban to Johannesburg oil pipeline.

Local government bodies employ massive pumps to deliver drinking water around towns and cities. They are also employed in sewage movement.

As a result of considerable application array of pumps, they understandably need to come in a wide range of shapes, dimensions and propelling methods. Pumps may be enormous like those used to pump water from the Katse Dam in Lesotho to very small pumps like those used in dental instruments. Pumps may possibly handle gas (refrigeration or the bicycle pump) or fluid in low or high volume.

Imagine the scenario of a farm. The primary compound comprises a home and a large cement dam fed by a pipe from the main farm dam some 500 metres from the compound. Next to the cement dam is a wind mill which pumps water into it and some 20 metres from the cement dam is a borehole which feeds water into a reservoir, which in terms provides water to the house.

The water which is pumped to the cement dam from the main dam, over a stretch of 500 metres, is attached to a large, high volume pump driven by a potent diesel engine and pumps water at a constant rate into the cement dam at selected times. The windmill uses a small submersible pump which is wind driven to also pump water into the cement dam. Water from the cement dam is pumped by an electric motor to the irrigation system some 200 metres from the compound. Water is pumped from the borehole by an electrically driven submersible pump to the reservoir from which water is pumped by gravitational forces to the home.

How could we survive without pumps - or without the wheel for that matter?
