New project using gravity to run a ram pump system to power a rim jet turbine also known as the Clem's engine.

This is some data on producing using rim jet turbine.
1hp = 33,000lb raise one foot in one minute.
33,000/60sec= 550lb second.
1 gallon of water = 8.33lb or 1cubic foot = 7.48gal@62.31lb
Foot head pressure = 0.434psi or one foot head.
10 feet head pressure = 4.34psi.
My mathematical formula design to produce 20 hp.
D= Diameter of water flowing out of a hole.
Rim jet thrust pounds = 1.57 * psi * D* D
_______________
Rim jet flow rate = \/32+32 * (psi/0.434) = ft/per/sec
Each Rim Jet is ½ or 0.5 diameter
At 250 psi:
1.57*250psi * 0.5 * 0.5 = 98.125 pounds of thrust at a constant @10GPM.
Thrust flow rate \/32+32* (250psi/0.434) = 192ft/sec
Rim Jet diameter is 24" with a circumference of (24*pi)= 75.4 in or 6.28ft. This allow thrust of 98.125 pound to be converted to foot pounds at a constant.
Top speed no load would be 192*60sec = 11520/6.28 = 1834 rpm.
Full load at 917rpm @ 49ft/lb /5252 = 8.55hp @10 GPM because of loading down the rpm and loss in rotational speed.
25.65 hp@30GPM would work just fine with a low rpm generator.
8 pole generator 900rpm 10kw would be needed.
Rim jet at 900 rpm *100ft/lb / 5252 = 17hp@20GPM. Gpm would have to be tested due to exit at the rim jet.
17hp*85% efficiency = 14.45 hp
14.45hp * 746watt =10.7 kw
Testing the engine using low pressure and gpm.

Hi Madama,
The ram pump works with moving water from gravity, it takes volume/speed to convert in to pressure as the check valve close.
In other words, if I have a 5 foot drop from a height and wanted it to raise to 25 ft, it will take for every gallon to get 25 feet 5 gallon of wasted water.
What if you move water in a circle that have valves that acts as a ramp pump. This will by theory create very high pressure without energy lost pumping to a height where it came from.
I believe the Lords Pump Project also is in Africa trying to do the same thing, do you work for them?
I have a system but I already have a investor involved.
I get 250+ psi with my system, can't say anymore then that..

Yes it works!
