    Powered stirrup pump

    In the latest issue of AGW there is a question about these.

    I recall watching a video some time ago which showed one & if I recall it may have been an fx branded one but I’m not sure.
    Also I found one video on the everfill compressor / pump

    Then there is the airforce airguns e pump which is a modern Variation on a them.

    Can anyone else recall these ?

    Thumbs up

    Can't say I've heard of or seen those but on Jorge Sprave's slingshot channel on YouTube he designed battery drill operated ventilator using it to depress and release what would be a manual ventilator. That was back when there was a shortage of ventilators and they were believed to be the answer as treatment for covid19.

    Good to hear some companies are trying the same automation idea on high pressure air pumps that'll make life easier for those who for some reason don't just use an air cylinder.

    I saw one years ago.

    It was just a wheel like on a steam train connected to a pump.

    And it was as loud as a steam train!

    Yep, I remember them, terrifying Heath-Robinson looking thing.
