That´s pretty cool Jim, they´re certainly quite effective, for what they are.

Used one myself as a kid, to pump water from the creek to the cattle :)

Think the invention is thousand years old or more, at work we have large cylinder brass versions as "last stand" emergency pumps, and have seen a centuries old one with a twin halves wooden barrel tied together with leather straps on a museum as well.

Should someone not want to engage in a DIY project:
