I recently received a Johnson Smith Catalog 941-747-6645 in Bradenton,
Florida and on page 50 was this interesting line drawing advertising a
venturi type water pump. It struck me as possibly being related to the
zpe@pdq.net countdown claims so here is the text;
New! Mini Pump drains over 200 gallons per hour - no electricity
needed.
Uses ordinary water pressure to drain swimming pools, basements,
aquariums, hot tubs, boats & more. Simply attach tiny pump between two
garden hoses. When tap is turned on, water pressure sucks up waste
water and carries it away. Even if your power is out, you can still
drain a flooded basement. Tough, lightweight polypropylene won't rust
or corrode. No moving parts to break down or wear out. Made in US.
Hoses not included.
JV-20411 Mini Sump Pump - $10.98
=======================
The picture shows a plastic hourglass looking thing where water comes
in on one side, goes through to the center of the hourglass and on exit,
it has an additional suction tube which sucks up the water and carries
it out from the venturi suction.
Now, I know this isn't a big deal and some of us have either seen or
worked with the venturi effect. Some industrial drum vacuums work with
compressed air to lift fluids and dirt using such a venturi nozzle.
However, I just thought it was neat that you could buy one of these
little plastic thingies with water hose fittings molded into it if you
wanted to experiment with it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming any o/u or anything particularly
anomalous with it, just that it might tie in with the zpe@pdq.net claim
of being able to produce o/u from a vortex.
Perhaps there is an optimum angle (as in Schaubergers KUDU antelope horn
angle) that these guys have discovered and MODELLED in a dynamic fluid
flow system.
We have the Hilsch/Rankin vortex tubes which split air into hot and cold
flows when fed IN through a center tube and OUT through either side of a
dual spiral.
We have the venturi which feeds IN from one side straight OUT through to
the opposite side and pulling additional media IN (air, water, whatever)
with it by the venturi suction.
I did a search on venturi power, vortex power, vortex pump and didn't
find much that fit except for these two odd ducks though they don't
really shed any light on how power could be extracted.

Like Norm, I too think there is something going on with vortexes, hot
and cold and inertia of mass in motion. Perhaps you might like to buy
one of those tubes for $10.98 to play with.
