|
| (...) Thanks. (...) Correct. (...) Right ;^) (...) Yes, you can reverse the engine on the fly. It doesn't take much to make the engine not run. It takes a quarter turn of the case to get from ideal forward to ideal backward. (...) Kevin (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

| (...) Well, I have to say mecha aren't much my thing (least of all Fuchi's), but yours is a work of art! Your detailing is uber. What's the little black bit connecting the hose pieces on the front-top-middle? Is it a short piece of stiff tubing, or (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Wow! I saw your first reversible engine and I kind of got lost in all of the tubing. Needless to say, it was quite an accomplishment. Its amazing how far you have been able to take the analogy between pneumatics and electronics. But, I kept (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

| (...) Wow, that's a great design for a reversible and variable speed pneumatic engine. An ingenious use of the differential gear, too. And not to fret about correctness of the explanation. If it works, it must be correct ;-) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)
