Non-moving Part Water Pump V 1.02 (super Cheap)
Version 1.02 of the air-lift pump.
Due to the overwhelming reaction to the first instructable, here comes model II.
it has even fewer parts, it is easy & super cheap to build.
Can be used to lift gasoline, but please be careful for fire hasard.
List of parts;
A 3/8 inch or 10mm hose
a 4mm air hose( this hose should be longer than the 3/8" or 10mm hose)
an aquarium air pump for short hose (6foot)
or compressor ( far away)

Plug in the Air
Plug in the air pump.
Voila
You can pump.
Just make sure the end of the hose is not floating on the water.
Tie something heavy (mother in-law?) to the end of the hose, so it will stay under water.
