Water pump does a slick job

Article Abstract:

The Forsey-Pimm Liquid Separator has been developed to deal with large scale water pollution, such as oil spills at sea or flotsam in harbours. The unit can be used in one area or towed at up to four knots. It is able to work in waves of no more than 2 metres. The Forsey-Pimm Liquid Separator has been undergoing trials in Indonesia and at the Oil Spill Research Centre in Southampton, England. After using the unit around 25% of the recovered product was found to be oil. Vacuum skimmers or chemicals have been used to clear up oil spills in the past.

Eccentricity is the key to pump's power

Article Abstract:

Engineer, Peter Wilkinson, has designed the Reciprotary pump which uses eccentric rotation rather than cam or crank rotation. Ingersoll Dresser have tested the prototypes, of which one exists in transparent acrylic. According to John Dodson of Ingersoll, the pump produces performance equivalent to that of a centrifugal pump ten times bigger. Potential applications include water supply in high buildings.
