Hello and welcome to the Matacus Design Contest #11 - Oil Well
Objective is to build an Oil Well or Sucker Rod Pump similar to those used by the oil industry to pump oil out of the ground --> http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagem:Oil_well_scheme.svg
http://web.mit.edu/2.972/www/reports/su ... _pump.html
The main difference of this project is that instead of oil you are going to suck Dillo, sorry for the expression, out of the ground.
The rules are:
- The equipment doesn't have to be identical to the ones shown in the articles above. Mechanical design variations that better suits your needs are accepted.
- The engine that drives the beam up and down should be a piston rotating motor, possibly using a rocket as power source although a dark power source will also be accepted.
- Dillo should be placed in the oil pipe, at least 2 bar lenghts from the ground surface.
- Once operating, the equipment should be able to bring Dillo up to the ground surface.
That is it. Ask if something is unclear.
Submissions can be send to wolter@uninet.com.br
Hope you all become millioneers from this new activity!
