Can also look at gerotar style pumps, like the oil pump in alot of engines. It uses a central gear and a ring gear with the centers of rotation slightly offset.
Edit: Above is for positive displacement style pumps. You can also have non- positive displacement pumps such as a centrifugal but they generally loose alot of pump efficiency as soon as you try to create any kind of pressure i.e. the pump slips.

so a centripical stype pump is not that good for our stuff?
