Thanks Bram and Mike for the ideas, I tried these ideas and got reasonable results using the larger shock absorber piece that comes with the black supercar. But still a little lacking for launching a missle made out of two round 1x1 and one round (...) (25 years ago, 19-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)

I was building 8860 Auto Chassis today: (URL) I noticed that the set looks like it was designed for three speeds rather than two. The instructions put a plate on the gearbox that limits the available gears to two. I noticed that the gears kept (...) (25 years ago, 18-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)

On my way back from Thailand, I made a stop in Kuwait. (My ticket was a very cheap one, see?) Anyway, the transit area in Kuwait was an extremely boring one, but they did have the Micro Technic sets. So to pass the time, I played around with the (...) (25 years ago, 18-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)

How about this: 1) Get 2spring loaded shock absorbers 2) Make tubes around the shock absorbers with your projectiles inside the tubes 3) Attach a girder to the shocks with holes on the sides still available 4) Run an axle through the MF and the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)

Has anyone had any success building pnumatic powered missles out of lego. Given that the air tubing doesn't provide enough air flow does the following idea sound feasible. Pump air into a hollow air chamber made entirely out of bricks. A 1x1 (...) (25 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)
