The EMAS pump produces a pulsating stream. This makes it difficult to transport through a waterpipe, because it originates ram strokes and friction is highly increased. Consequently, the pulsating stream must be transformed into a continuous stream. This can be done by means of an air chamber. An air chamber can simply be a plastic bottle.
