I just got the Search Sub kit and it's great. The main reason I got this
one is because it came with the air tank. I was wondering, what would
happen if, oh let's say I had a compressor attached to a running motor
(to supply the air tank with air)...Would pumping the air tank over its
"30-35x" limit damage the tank?
Any ideas about setting up a compressor w/ motor and air tank system,
please post. Thanks!

| I don't think that you can overload the tank. If you take the pump and put your finger over the hole and press the pump the air will compress a little but then because it can't compress anymore the air comes out some other way (you can hear it (...) (26 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) There are many compressor on the web. You can see my version on my web site (Lego/Mindstorm section, S5 creature). I used an idea from Bert Van Dam's page to stop the compressor when pressure is enough. (Bert's address on my page too). Mario (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
