102air-lift pumps. The oscillation of this action between chambers (from about12 per minute in larger pulsometers to 130 per minute in smaller sizes)causes quite a vibration and was the origin of its common name, pulsometer.(See also Rogers, Vol.286-291).2, 1905, pp. 269-280; Weisback and Herrman, 1897, pp.3.4.4 Explosion PumpAnother unique, but obsolete, water lifter is the explosion pump ofHumphrey. Its operation is quite simple and was originally claimed to bemore efficient than conventional steam pumps (Greene, 1913, pp. 128-129).A charge of coal gas is exploded in a chamber which drives the water inthat chamber up a discharge pipe. The spent gases are exhausted througha valve and a new unit of water is drawn in through inlet ports. Therebound of water in the discharge pipes is the method for exhausting thegases and compressing the new charge of coal gas. Ignition of theexplosion is by electric spark [see Unwin, 1909).
