Mechanical Fluid Pump

Axle-driven walking-beam pump. Raises water from its intake to the delivery line.

The crafted block is the base of the beam: place it facing the way the beam is to swing, then right-click with each stage's materials in your hotbar to raise the rest of it, an axle and two lengths of Piping (Straight) among them. Once built, couple an axle to the near, low cell's own gear face; it is the only side of that cell that takes one. The pump draws under the far, low cell and delivers out of the high cell's inward face, back over the crook of the L, so the delivery main starts in the empty cell above the pump's own middle, not off its far end.

Throughput is a straight 20 L/s per unit of axle speed with no floor and no ceiling of its own, so a barely turning shaft moves a trickle. The head stays fixed at 1.5 atm however fast the shaft turns, because the beam lifts the same column regardless, and it loads the shaft with 0.05 of its own friction plus 0.05 more per atm of head it is lifting against.
