Figure 3

Water-filled experimental valveless pump constructed of latex rubber and plastic laboratory tubing. The stiff section (top) is 46 cm long. The soft section (bottom) is 70 cm long. A "T" connector at the midpoint of the top section (not shown) and stopcock allowed for filling and clearance of air bubbles. Suspended bits of colored paper provided markers for tracking average fluid velocity. Compression point is indicated by broad arrow.
