Seesaw water pumping system ABSTRACT A new method is proposed for the harnessing of human po based on children's play in playgrounds and publ devices such as the seesaw, merry-go-round, and swing. large numbers of children play in a playground, part of powerof their play can be usefully harnessed resulting in significant energy storage.

A new method is proposed for the harnessing of human power based
on children's play in playgrounds and public places, on devices
such as the seesaw, merry-go-round, and swing. When large numbers
of children play in a playground, part of the power of their play
can be usefully harnessed resulting in significant energy storage.
This project is a proof of concept work, where playground equipment
is implemented for a water pump. The method provides a low-cost,
low-resource means of pumping water, especially for use in
developing countries. In using a seesaw design, this project was
able to show how a simple mechanical motion could be transformed
into hydraulic power. A seesaw water pump was designed and
constructed to demonstrate its feasibility. Results show that with
some modification and improvement of the current design, the seesaw
me indeed provide a viable method to pump water.Keyword: Seesaw,
