I'll try to get some scans of my compressor+tank+pressure switch system
online this week. I use the large hand pumps connected to 24tooth geers on
eihter side of a worm gear ->24tooth gear assmbly that is powered by the
newer 9V motor. This generates power pretty quickly. I then use a small
pneumatic cylinder connected via assembly to a Leog polarity switch and
tensioned with rubber bands to created my pressure switch. Voila independant
pneumatic pump which requires at most 1 RCX output. But I use it with the
small (V single battery box so it's fully autonomous, leaving the RCX to

| I tried a fish tank pump for this purpose, but it was enough psi. I only bought the lowest end pump so maybe some of the larger ones would work?? Anyone had success with fish tank pumps?? Dean. (URL) (26 years ago, 31-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
