but you need to fully compress the hose.
otherwise the liquid flows back in the gap left open.
would be hard with thick hose to fully compress (and have it expand
afterwards).
or do you think of a pump that uses one way walves and does not fully
compress the hose?
(bellow or membrane type)
i just had another idea.
if dry compressed air is availabe it would be easy to make a venturio pipe
pump.
(the principle of bottom-tank color spraying or water vacuum pump)
is simple, no moving parts, very high pressure, but you need to release the
air blown in again...
(without propelling fumes out).
