I know very well about ram pumps.
If you knew anything about them you would know why your claim would never work!

did you even READ what I wrote. The ram pumps the water from the bottom tank to the top tank continuously.
You also said solar power runs the ram, so no solar power, it does not work
Look up Ram Pumps. Then you will understand what I said.
I know very well about ram pumps. You need the water above the pump.

you also stated earlier, as a question, what powers the ram electrically. So if you know how a ram pump works, then where does your electricity come in to play here?

Ram Pumps don't run on electricity. Look up Ram Pumps and see how they work.
They rely on a constant flow of water..
Do I need to show a video?

you too also said ram pumps run on electrical energy.
The car battery's are connected to a charge controller and solar panels.
Then later stated that they run on a constant flow of water.
I state again, look and see how ram pumps pump water straight up in the air from 40 ft. Do I need to show a video?
Yes. A lot of water coming down. A little going up. It works well if you have a river up above. Not so good with a tank. Not for long anyway.
Here is a ram pump pumping water 40 ft. above the level of water source.
What happens to the water in that tank? How is it lifted? Look again at the diagram.
A ram pump does let water out of valve, but in the unit I stated it has a tank to collect that water to be re-used.

So how does that collected water get pumped back up to the top? Where does the energy for that come from?

Notice all the wasted water?

OMG, I'm getting tired of explaining. The RAM PUMP , PUMPS the water from the lower tank to the upper tank.
It can't do that. It only can pump water from the upper tank. Look at the diagram....again.

In the unit I presented you must read. A ram pump does let water out of valve, but in the unit I stated it has a tank to collect that water to be re-used. So the ram pump can pump water into the smaller tank above. Here is a ram pump pumping water 40 ft. above the level of water source. youtu.be...
Sure it will. For a little while.
Your saying the ram pumps will NOT pump water to the upper tank.
The basic idea behind a ram pump is simple. The pump uses the momentum of a relatively large amount of moving water to pump a relatively small amount of water uphill.
You can see that the one big disadvantage of a ram pump is that it wastes a lot of water. Typically, only about 10% of the water it consumes actually makes it up the delivery pipe. The rest flows out of the pump as the water builds momentum.
