My Ideal Pump
After understanding a pump’s function I feel like a fool paying over 100 bucks for one. For that kind of price it should be getting me off, heating me up, and cleaning itself. Spending the last few days pondering on an upgrade to what I have, I began to realize how inexpensive the components were. Since I’m in NY and everything is within arm’s reach, the total to construct a new pump wouldn’t even crack the $30 barrier I imagine. I mean shit, I can get a new cylinder for $2 (plastic supply store), and since I already have tubes, a donut, and a gun, this seems to be nothing but a good idea to me.
I decided to layout a general idea for what I had in mind and I immediately came across a few question marks. I’d go into detail but since I already drew it up I don’t need to :p As you can see my view is naive. I’d like the help of some engineering minded individuals since I’ve never physically made anything that required tools. The top of the pump is a bit tricky, I added a buffer to keep the cock away from the bulb and included drilled screws for it to be removed as well as the bulb and valve for easy cleaning and convenience. Once I get beyond the buffer part of the deal, I’m not really sure how to proceed. I’d like both parts to connect and detach from one another, but don’t know how to go about it. At least not by simple means. Same deal goes for the heating aspect, this is the featured part of this pump and I’ve given that the least amount of thought lol. I think I consciously attempted to put it out of my mind since I don’t know how I would go about sticking a hot bulb in there either.
Anywho, tell me what you think of the first draft guys, any pointers?..Feel free to add on and have fun with it, completely redesign it if you wish, all that matters to me is that the pump heats internally without risk of burning my pecker and can be opened for easy cleaning.
