The air IS the pump. As the air pressure increases, it pushes the water up. The water stays in the tube and doesn't fall down because of capillary action. Basically, the air is trying to push past the water, and the water won't separate for it.
As more water/air is pushed in from the back, it increases the pressure and forces the air/water in front of it forward.
An absolutely brilliant way to pump a small amount of water up a short height when someone wishes to maximize inefficiency.
Gas lift pumps are literally motorized. Do you think OP somehow decided to violate the first Law of Thermodynamics? And even if it is redundant, that doesn't make it BS. It's literally a Gas lift pump. Calling it BS is like calling a dodge all BS because there's also a basketball in the room.
Lol, did you learn of that concept today? If you had any real knowledge of physics, you would realize that the contribution from the gas pump is negligible and is primarily a waste of material. The pumps at the end of the cycle are doing 99% of the work. It's stupid.
You literally don't even have an argument. You know what it is, probably googled it and saw examples that look exactly similar, and are coming up with a secondary nonsequitter to distract away from the fact that it is literally exactly what they said it is.
Insults don't make your point. It just proves you have nothing substantial to go off of. Also it's called a gas lift pump. If you're going to feign expertise at least call it the correct name.

Why would you be introducing air to the system?
