The goal of this video is togive the viewers a new idea and to showcase the capacity of an
ordinary watercontainer how it perfectly handle a pressure up to 50psi or more (30psi recommended for safety) with a gag as mymain goal. I don't showcase here how
the engineering behind a bladdertank works. No deep details and information was shown
throughout the video because its just for fun.
But here in thedescription I will explain all the FAQs.
=============================================================

This is only a videoevidence, (not a DIY) of mysuccessful experiment in transforming
a regular 5gallons watercontainer (round) into a substitute pressuretank that can hold
a standardhousehold water pressure of 4060 psi!
=============================================================
This setup was tricky. At first glanced you cansay its not a real deal.
But if you look closely and understand everything, you will find it amazing.
You can see this thing does nothave air inlet (schrader valve) like a normal
bladdertank. But remember that thetank used in this project was plastic.
It has an elasticity (like rubber) unlike metals. That acts as 2 in 1, a bladder, and atank.
The orientation of the pump and thetank was carefully planned to ensure
a good working outcome. I placed thetank above the pump so that the air will remain
intank while being compressed. I compressed the air by closing the water outlet. And
allowing the pump with water to run while thetank is empty (nothing but air). As the
pressure rises to 50psi thetank begun to compressed the trapped air inside and
making the tank's top bulged. You can see the water increases to thetank making it
60% water and 40% compressed air at 50psi. As the pump turn's off at 50psi, youhave
35mins (depends on how you conserve the flow of pressure) to drop the gauge to 30psi
where the pump startsworking again. As the pressure drop to 30psi, thetank will be lessstressed
making it 40% water and 60% uncompressed air. The pump will work about 1 min
to fill the 50psi orless if you havea bigger pump. And now the cycle is complete.
And there you go I hope that's clarify all your questions. Thank you for watching!
=================================================================
I don't encourage you to remake this process for safety precaution. Dealingwith pressure
isdangerous specially above 30 psi. However if you still wanted to try, keep the pressure
below 30psi for your safety and also to prolong your materials lifespan.
