After taking apart a full automatic foam soap dispenser, I went online and hunted for a foam pump on its own. These pumps simultaneously pump soapy liquid and air together to create a continuous foam-soap on demand.
I found just one listing on eBay with the pumps:-
https://www.ebay.com/itm/264812164691
The total with shipping is currently $4.54. Lets see if he puts the price up.
The construction is very typical for these. A three diaphragm pump with direct motor drive swash-plate style, and matching round rubber umbrella flap valves to make sure the air and liquid end up going through multiple meshes to whip it up into a mousse.
The liquid I was using was a mixture of washing up liquid (dish soap) and water. About 1 part soap to 4 parts water.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

    Does a company like Simple Human use the same mini foam pump motor used in those cheaper foam dispensers or do they use s premium motor? Or do they make their own pump motor?

    I challenge you to work out how the Gojo hands-free soap dispenser works. It appears to have several interlocks that prevent operation unless several concealed reed/hall-effect switches are fooled. There are two strange coils around the base of the detergent container. There is a weird plug that looks rather like an SD card, but when the honnel is broken off it reveals a collection of links between the pins.

    I suspect that much of the strangeness is to make it difficult to reverse engineer the very expensive containers of detergent. My own workaround has been to cut a hole and squirt in the 10p of detergent/water mix.
