Scoff pumps all you like.

Reference John C. all you like too.

I'm still going to build one.

I support that. There is a minimum size and weight for any component,
below which it becomes impossible to fabricate, for amateurs at least.
Hence mass ratios start going the wrong way.

Years ago on aRocket I ranted about not being able to find high pressure
solenoide valves small enough for my experimental biprop.
To which John Carmack commented: "Why don't you just build a bigger
rocket? Seriously...!"
Thanks John. I hindsight I had so much to learn.

For small vehicles pumps make no sense to me... minimum gage on any non
eggshell tank and the system performance with pump is not any better
than system performance without...

Yeah Micropump is the company. I also contacted them and they would
design a pump I just could not afford it.

Yeah, I remember checking out Micropump years ago - they had a
catalog model (a magnetically coupled centrifugal pump IIRC) that
looked like it might do exactly what I needed, at a price that
(once I got a quote out of them) turned out to be a large multiple
of my budget for that segment of the project.
