this is sweet, I would love to understand the exact dynamics behind it but as far as I can handle is that the designer "bend" the trajectory of a point on the edge of a rotating object in a way that makes the point of contact of the smaller wheel and piston pump moves in straight line only. correct me if I am wrong.
@rckinglife it could be used to bildge water if there is a leak in a ship. Holes could be at a low level of the tube to allow water into it, then it would push it out of the ship as the pump moves down. Dunno if it would work though...
@Scerab notice the piston only moves straight up and down that is why if it was directly mounted to the larger one it would move in an arc or a v shape and couldnt plunge straight into the cylender
this is pretty cool, but i was wondering why the piston arm is attached to the small wheel and not just the big one. i'm not trying to be a smart ass, i'm just trying to learn about mechanical engineering.
@Iamatheist1234 by "bend" I mean bending a rotating motion on straight line into circular

@Scerab for vertical movement thats directly downward. If it was attached to the big one, the force would be at a angle.
