Doing a little musing with the Area 5150 Scientists in captivity underground here.
We think that it is possible to design a life-time lasting housing and impeller which can be installed above the foot within the spacious area of the lower housing.
Water does not compress so it would need careful engineering on water volume vs shaft RPM for low through high speed operation.
The principle in a nut shell is the INCLINED PLANE. This is a (VERY) powerful means of forcing water upward and into an engine block. The single blade would be metal with a very slight minus tolerance inside the housing. The blade shape would be similar or emulate a wide diameter screw thread. The degree of pitch would determine volume of water vs RPM. Water entry would be underneath the blade and water exit would be in a cavity above the blade and pass into the standard tubing within the housing. The slight minus tolerance would allow for some pressure relief at higher RPM's.
Something along those lines...... I have not spent more than 15 minutes on this (mostly typing), so there might be something I have overlooked or could be added.
Addendum - On (all) existing motors, the lower water pump base and drive shaft w/key would remain the same. If manufacturers were willing.... an add-on upper water pump housing which would be a little taller, and the spiral impeller with possibly a vertical water ducting interface COULD be offered as a kit. This would allow for a quick retrofit by the user. The loss in moneys for Service centers and rubber impeller manufacturers would be enormous however......
