Tube with embedded magnetic particles and associated pumping device

A pumping assembly, comprising:

• a flexible tube extending along a longitudinal axis;
• wherein the flexible tube defines an internal cavity extending along the longitudinal axis, the internal cavity configured to contain a fluid disposed therein, wherein the fluid comprises a liquid and/or a gas;
• a plurality of ferromagnetic or magnetic particles disposed within at least a portion of a thickness of the flexible tube, the thickness defined between an inner surface and an outer surface of the flexible tube, and wherein the plurality of ferromagnetic or magnetic particles are also disposed extending along the longitudinal axis;
• a plurality of electromagnets placed in series adjacent to one another;
• wherein the flexible tube is disposed adjacent to the plurality of electromagnets, where the longitudinal axis of the flexible tube is parallel with the plurality of electromagnets placed in series;
• a controller connected to the plurality of electromagnets and configured to selectively magnetize at least one electromagnet from the plurality of electromagnets in a progression along the plurality of electromagnets;
• and
• a power source electrically connected to the controller.
