huge :-(
The little cylinders make such a tiny amount of air, they're no use at all!
Does anyone have plans for a usable air source?
I've used two of the little pumps in conjunction with two Air Tanks. I
takes 15-20 sec. to fill up the tanks and afterwards you can operate a
pneumatic cylinder every 2.5 - 3 sec. for about 15 min. while the
compressor is running coutinously.

The pumps where driven by an old 9V technics motor which directly drives
a wormgear.
