Bubble Pumps

This beauty is a 1984 patent by a really clever inventor named Sorensen from Canada.  The pump uses a hand pump to evacuate the chamber 1 to a really low pressure so the water boils at a very low temp.  When it  boils, it transports the fluid to upper chamber 1 and now since it is at a higher level, water flows down pipe 12.  This pushes hot fluid into the reservoir and displaces cold water back down into the collector. Really brilliant.  No moving parts.
