Build for a project where i need to get mud out of very deep holes. 

Made for a 1\4" BSP fitting for compressed air hose coupling and 40mm PVC pipe. 
Using low pressure/flow it works as a regular airlift pump. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airlift_pump 
It contains internal channels and nozzles that produce a venturi effect at high pressure and airflow, making it able to lift much higher than a regular airlift pump. 
Worked better than my expectations, even at 4m deep head lift it spits water 3 meters into the air, but this consumes a lot of air so isnt sustainable over time unless you have an enormous compressor.
