AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a small rotary or axial pump measuring 2x1x1 cm, capable of pumping fluids at rates between 1 cc/min and 50 cc/min, with a separable drive unit. Suggestions include exploring peristaltic pumps, which are commonly used in medical applications, and aquarium pumps, although the user finds peristaltic pumps too heavy for their needs. They have identified a micro motor under 2 cm but lack suitable rotary fan blades. Recommendations include checking Lee's small pumps and resources on ThomasNet for potential options. The user is encouraged to explore these avenues for available solutions.

I need help, I have no background in engineering or fluid mechanics. I desire to find out the availability of a rotary/axial pump which has a size of 2cm X1 cm X1cm which can pump luids from 1 cc/min to 50 cc/min. The pump should be connected to the drive unit by a cable, so that the drive unit and pump can be separated. Power source can be either battery based or mains or both. My question is, is such pump avaialble in the market or do I have to get it fabricated? Anyone who can help?

You could try looking into peristaltic pumps. They are used in hospitals to pump fluids into people. In it’s simplest form it is a flexible hose that is squeezed by a cam and it pumps fluid without touching the fluid.

Alternatively look into aquarium pumps
 
Thank you, I have looked at the peristaltic pumps, but they are way too heavy for my application. I have found a micro motor which is just under 2cm in size, but have no small rotary fan blades to drive it, I was more intereted in knwoing if someone has the intergrated pump.
 
Thank you, I will check, sincerely, PB
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
