DIY Simple water pump from Refrigerator Compressor

[hemmjo]

The compressor will last about 3/10's of a nano second with water instead of the oil it requires. You need to take the can off that thing and look at it next time before you propose such hair brained ideas. A bit more curiosity before statements might make life a bit easier for you.

I think you missed the video, he is not running water through the compressor. He is using air to lift the water. It works, and as Frank mentioned might be very useful in some situations.

My point was, there are more efficient ways to do it IF you have to purchase items anyway. If you have the stuff on hand, the system shown in the video does work.
