THE CUTEST LITTLE PUMPS YOU EVER DID SEE post by Joe Barlow

While working on a project to create a micro hydraulic system, I had the need to purchase a micro pump.  In my search, I can across TCS Micro, Ltd.  This company in the United Kingdom is working to create some of the smallest mass-produced pumps in the world.  The smallest pump they make weighs in a mere 10 grams and a size of 24x10x10 millimeters.  The flow of the pump is very impressive for its small size at a max of 700 milliliters per minute.

These little devices are made of precision CNC machined aluminum alloy with stainless steel connectors.  While the materials are not very expensive themselves, the fine degree to which these accurate devices must be formed drives the cost up significantly. 

TCS Micro is continuing to release a new pump every couple of months as they develop new and more efficient methods of manufacturing them.  These pumps can be found at the website below.

    I was expecting to get the inside scoop on some materially advanced heels! Once past the title I found it was not so... those are the cutest little pumps I ever did see though! I count this post a better find than a pair of heels, for now. I hope your project turned out well.
