perastaltic pump

Good day
Dave if you took one of the planetary gear boxes you are using for the torpedo stripeing rig and attached a bar with two rollers attached too the out put shaft and some tubing you have the making for a pump.

Pump

Here are a few shots of a pump I made for proof of concept
The pump housing is 2.375 " i.d. abs cap and I am using a .250 i.d surgical tubing.
This was just down and dirty so I did not install and bushings or gear reduction.
3 teflon rollers attached too an aluminun disk pretty simple and pumps great .
I drove the test piece with a drill just too see if it would work.
Sloted disk or rotor arm could be made so tubing size and amount of compression could be adjusted

I think I've found a pump. I've ordered a couple and they'll be here in a few days. Stand by!
