A fluid delivery system includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber, a pair of electrodes, a porous dielectric material, an electrokinetic fluid, and a flexible member including a gel between two diaphragms. The pair of electrodes is between the first chamber and the second chamber. The porous dielectric material is between the electrodes. The electrokinetic fluid is configured to flow through the porous dielectric material between the first and second chambers when a voltage is applied across the pair of electrodes. The flexible member fluidically separates the second chamber from the third chamber and is configured to deform into the third chamber when the electrokinetic fluid flows form the first chamber into the second chamber.

1. A fluid delivery system, comprising: a pump module having a pumping chamber therein;a pump engine configured to generate power to pump delivery fluid from the pumping chamber; anda flexible member comprising a first and second diaphragms fluidically separating the pump module from the pump engine
1. A fluid delivery system, comprising: a pump module having a pumping chamber therein;a pump engine configured to generate power to pump delivery fluid from the pumping chamber; anda flexible member comprising a first and second diaphragms fluidically separating the pump module from the pump engine and configured to deflect into the pumping chamber when pressure is applied to the flexible member from the pump engine, wherein the flexible member comprises a gel occupying 50%-95% of an area between deflectable portions of the first and second diaphragms so as to transfer more than 80% of an amount of power generated by the pump engine to the pump module to pump delivery fluid from the pumping chamber. 2. The fluid delivery system of claim 1, wherein the pump engine is an electrokinetic engine. 3. A fluid delivery system, comprising: a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber;a pair of electrodes between the first chamber and the second chamber;a porous dielectric material between the electrodes;an electrokinetic fluid configured to flow through the porous dielectric material between the first and second chambers when a voltage is applied across the pair of electrodes; anda flexible member comprising a gel between two diaphragms, the flexible member fluidically separating the second chamber from the third chamber, wherein the diaphragms and the gel deform into the third chamber and conform to an interior shape of the third chamber when the electrokinetic fluid flows from the first chamber into the second chamber. 4. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein there is a void occupying 5%-50% of a space between a deformable portion of the first and second diaphragms. 5. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein the gel material is adhered to the first and second diaphragms. 6. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein the gel material is separable from the first or second diaphragms when a leak forms in the first or second diaphragms. 7. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein the gel material comprises silicone, acrylic PSA, silicone PSA, or polyurethane. 8. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein the diaphragm material comprises a thin-film polymer. 9. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein a ratio of a diameter of the third chamber to a height of the third chamber is greater than 5/1. 10. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein a thickness of the gel in a neutral pumping position is greater than a height of the third chamber. 11. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein the flexible member is configured to pump a delivery fluid from the third chamber when the voltage is applied across the first and second electrodes. 12. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein the flexible member is configured to stop deforming when the electrokinetic fluid stops flowing between the first and second chambers. 13. The fluid delivery system of claim 3, wherein the gel is configured to compress between the first and second diaphragms when the flexible member pumps fluid from the third chamber. 14. A method of pumping fluid comprising: applying a first voltage to an electrokinetic engine to deflect a flexible member in a first direction to draw a set volume of fluid into a pumping chamber of an electrokinetic pump, the flexible member comprising a gel between two diaphragms; andapplying a second voltage opposite to the first voltage to the electrokinetic engine to deflect the flexible member into the pumping chamber to pump the fluid out of the pumping chamber; andstopping the application of the second voltage to stop the deflection of the flexible member into the pumping chamber mid-stroke so as to deliver less than the set volume of fluid out of the pumping chamber. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein stopping the application of the second voltage comprises stopping the pumping of fluid out of the pumping chamber with stopping the application of the second voltage. 16. The method of claim 14, further comprising compressing the gel between the first and second diaphragms when the flexible member is deflected into the pumping chamber. 17. The method of claim 14, further comprising applying the second voltage until the flexible member substantially conforms to an interior surface of the pumping chamber.
