Good for you! I've seen one or two in operation over the years. Also owned and worked on a few Blake's power driven pumps of various sizes. It's amazing how much old kit is still in service in little brick pumphouses around the country... Always wanted a Hydram but what are the chances of ending up living somewhere able to use one!
Hydraulic rams are awesome things; you fit, forget and in a hundred years time...clunk clunk clunk.
The company that made a lot of the old ones is still going (Green and ....?) and sends them all over the world.
And still maintains the old ones.
(Something I would like to study...if I had the time)

Would be great for watering my allotment, but I believe they are rather expensive compared to an electric pump and rechargeable power station.
Yeah but a _relentless_ 1lt per minute, every single minute forever.Mmm... at about a 1 litre per minute
Run it into a big holding tank and use that for watering, ram pump will keep it topped up, and you can get pressure and speed from your header tank if you wish.
No ram pumps delivers large volumes, it is all about continual supply at low pressure over vast distances and uphill. The way the water shock mechanism works you physically can’t deliver high volume
Watched about all I could stomach of Survival Lilly's "Situation in Europe" videos. As someone with the most minimal of military experience, none of what she's saying is surprising or particularly concerning.
In short, militaries are preparing for war with Russia. - That's their job. Colour me shocked. I'd be more concerned if they were not preparing for war with Russia.
Ground war with Russia in 5-8 years seems possible but unlikely. Putin may be mad, but even he has to recognise that a war with Nato would not end well for him given how much of a kicking he's taking in Ukraine.
That said I'm sure comparisons can be made between now and pre war Europe of the 1930's.
Not sure I'll be building a bunker in my back garden though. Can't afford to.

I know how they work
, I was just pointing out that one needs to look at the spec and makes sure it fits the need.
Apologies, I thought you were expecting electric pump flow rates from a mechanical water hammer pump sorryI know how they work
