Essay On Hydro Technology

Hydro technology in the Islamic times Introduction:

The Muslims were advanced in a lot of aspects. The preliminary notion is that the Muslims were barbaric and were enemies of progress during their sovereignty and that their expansion in territories all over the world has brought poverty and massacres of defier, and that they had no technology or praised intellect, and that their advancement was only in the military sector and man power. The truth is that the territories under Muslims’ rule prospered and lived in peace. The Muslims were passionate about science, not only in the fields of literary sciences but in physics, chemistry, medicine, astronomy and math in addition, many literary works were published by Muslim scientists that have

The Muslims have produced real life model pumps to move water and they were functioning well. I am going to talk about two pumps that were built by two of the greatest scholars in Islam. The first one is aljazari's two cylinder pumps. It was considered a water raising device that supplied water to arid areas for irrigation of agriculture and to support life in the area. The cylinder was a fascinating mechanical device and consisted of four main parts. The first one was a vertical water wheel rotating with the power of water flow and then the work was transmitted via gears to a horizontal gear that had a knob placed in a gap to convert the horizontal rotating motion to linear back and forth motion. The linear back and forth motion operated two suction pumps (Al-Rhodhan, 2012). The second pump I am going to talk about is Taqi Al-Din’s six cylinder pump. The pump shares some similarities with Al Jazari six cylinder pump. The cylinder stood in the water in the suction stroke and pumped the water in the other stroke made possible by non return valves. The pipes from the six cylinders are joined into a single delivery pipe (Musa,
