2. Suction cup - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_cup

   The working face of the suction cup is made of elastic, flexible material and has a curved surface. [3] When the center of the suction cup is pressed against a flat, non-porous surface, the volume of the space between the suction cup and the flat surface is reduced, which causes the air or water between the cup and the surface to be expelled past the rim of the circular cup.

3. Self-sealing suction cup - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_suction_cup

   The self-sealing suction cup is a suction cup that exerts a suction force only when it is in physical contact with an object. Unlike most other suction cups, it does not exert any suction force when it is not in contact with an object. [1] Its grasping ability is achieved entirely through passive means without the use of sensors, valves, or ...

4. Plunger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plunger

   For the common plunger, the cup is pushed down against the drain opening, either pressing hard into the drain to force air in or pushing down until the rubber cup is flattened. The cup is then pulled out, creating a vacuum to pull blockage material upward and dislodge waste or other material.

5. Hand pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

   Where it is necessary to raise water to a height above that to which a suction or lift pump will operate effectively (about 7 metres), or to raise the pressure so that it will exit a nozzle with a strong force, such as through a fire hose, a force pump may be used. As with a suction pump, in its manual form it relies on an operator to pump a ...

6. Hard suction hose - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_suction_hose

   5-inch (13 cm) flex suction hose with Storz fittings, mounted on an engine. Flexible suction hose (Flex suction or suction hose), not to be confused with hard suction hose in U.S., is a specific type of fire hose used in drafting operations, when a fire engine uses a vacuum to draw water from a portable water tank, pool, or other static water source.

7. Microsuction tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsuction_tape

   When a large enough surface area of the object is pressed onto the tape, considerable force is necessary in order to detach the object by pulling it off. The mechanism is similar to that of a suction cup, where a well attached cup with a radius of 2 cm (with no air left between the cup and the surface) would require a force of about 130 newtons ...
