Explaining how pumps produce both pressure and flow with some fun water demonstrations. The bundle deal with Curiosity Stream has ended, but you can still get a great discount on Nebula and support Practical Engineering here: There’s a popular and persistent saying that pumps only create flow in a fluid, and resistance to that flow is what creates the pressure in a pipe. This video goes into some details about how two kinds of pumps work: centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps.
