A ram pump is a not new invention that takes the downward pressure of a fluid exerted by gravity and returns a higher pressure, allowing a fluid to be pumped up an incline for a not insignificant distance. This is possible due to the magic of a compact series of check valves that quickly alternate open/closed, combined with a small elastic bladder.
