A positive displacement fluid handling apparatus comprises a body including a closed loop tunnel with a circular cross section, laid out in an oblong geometry with two substantially semicircular sections of the tunnel respectively disposed at the two extremities thereof and respectively open to two ports, and a plurality of spherical balls with diameter closely matched to the diameter of the circular cross section of the closed loop tunnel disposed within the closed loop tunnel in a freely movable arrangement, wherein a star wheel disposed in conjunction with one of the two substantially semicircular sections of the tunnel in a rotatable arrangement about the axis of rotation disposed in a parallel and offset relationship to the central axis of radius of the substantially semicircular section of the tunnel feeds the spherical balls past the inlet port open to that substantially semicircular section of the tunnel.
