  1. hand pump

    A hand pump is a mechanical device that uses manual force to pump and move fluids or air from one place to another. It generally employs a lever or a handle which, when moved up and down, creates a suction force that draws the fluid or air up through a pipe or tube. It is often used in situations where electricity or other power sources are not available. Common applications include pumping water from wells, inflating tires, or in manual tools such as spray bottles.
