You can increase the flow rate of a positive displacement pump (like a gear pump) by increasing the input RPM. If it is a D.C. motor, increasing the voltage would make it run faster. An A.C. motor is a little trickier. Certain A.C. motors can be sped up by using a Variable Frequency Drive, others would require a set of pulleys and a belt between the pump and motor which could be replaced with varying sizes to alter the RPM.

Keep in mind that the load on the motor is a calculation of the flow rate and the pressure so if you increase the flow without decreasing the pressure the motor will have to do more work, causing more heat and wear. The motor may be damaged or destroyed by the extra load, especially if it's already working at it's design limit. Also, if you are trying to increase the flow any significant amount, the size of the pipe or hose connections on the pump may be a limiting factor. Trying to force too much flow through a pipe that is too small just won't work. Once the flow has reached the 'critical velocity' (which depends on the pipe size and the fluid being pumped), trying to increase the flow just makes more noise and generates heat, but the flow doesn't increase.

How do you increase amperage without changing voltage or resistance?

You cannot increase amperage without changing voltage or resistance. Ohm's law states that voltage is current times resistance. You cannot change one alone. Not even changing frequency in a capacitive or inductive circuit will do this, because changing frequency represents a change in reactance, which is effectively a change in resistance.

As the speed and length of a wave decrease the wave?

An equation that relates three basic quantities for waves in general is:speed = wavelength x frequency In this case, if you increase the speed (without changing the wavelength), the frequency would have to increase; on the other hand, if you increase the wavelength (without changing the speed), the frequency would go decrease.
