Been Looking for some peices to do a few pneumatic projects with. Between Dacta and Lego S&H, I have found Tubing,Valves,Pumps & Cylinders, but I can't find Tanks... It would appear that the only way for me to get a tank or two, is to buy some of (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Try using a Coke bottle w/small brass fitting siliconed in the cap. Secure it to the robot (invention) w/rubber bands for easy removal. It takes a while to fill it but that's a lot of air for use. Good luck. (25 years ago, 5-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I admit that I don't really understand all the words there, however. So to clear things up, do you achieve the limiting of the flow simply by narrowing the tube at some point, or is there some even more complicated things going on? Fredrik (25 years ago, 10-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
