The first one doesn't have a cord, the black thing is an empty tube. The pieces can be deattached.
The second picture is… Mini filters?
The third appliances blow out air when I plug in the cord, so bubble machines? But their cords are very short.

2nd and third picture I think are all pumps
1. Diffuser which breaks apart the air bubbles provided by an air pump into much smaller bubbles.
2. Submersible water pumps not mini filters. They would be what pumps water to a filter.
3. Air pumps, the cords are short because they dont go in the tank. You run a 1/4 inch line from the pump to a diffuser of some sort that is in the tank.
1. Seems to be a bubbler. You mount it horizontally on a glass wall and it makes a bubble wall, maybe?
2. Are submersible power heads/water pumps with makeshift tubes that direct water a certain direction. Whoever owned them must have had them positioned upright at the bottom of their tanks to create flows
3. Top is an air pump. Try connecting it to 1. Idk what the bottom one is. Google says it’s a type of Japanese main battle tank lol
Edit: ok both in pic 3 are air pumps
Place one of the water pumps in a corner of your turtle tank with the outflow tube pointed at another corner on the other side of the tank. Connect either air pumps to the diffuser in 1. with a length of air line tubing, then mount the diffuser horizontally at the bottom of your tank, preferably next to the water pump. The air pump stay outside of the tank. You should hang it somewhere higher than the tank to avoid water from flowing back into the pump in case of a power outage and also to avoid loud noises because those things vibrate a lot.
First picture is a ‘co2 ladder’ or similar name
It has the harder co2 tubing and basically massively increases how long the co2 bubble will spend rising to the surface meaning it will have much more time to dissolve into the water making for a much more efficient co2 system.
I have/had the exact same one somewhere. Works pretty well but isnt the prettiest.
Where do you find these? They are from last century! The rubber of the diaphragm of the pump is surely not in working order.
Looks like a JBL Taifun Spiral: https://amzn.eu/d/0j6wnWO8
