Greetings all,
Has anyone found any interesting applications for the Pneumatic Hand-Pump?
I found myself puzzling over my rapidly growing collection of them. It does
not seem to be well suited for a compressor due to it's size and the spring.
I have thought about placing them opposite each other to 'cancel' out the
spring effect, but can's seem to attach them rigidly enough at the top.
I have thought about *gasp* removing the spring.
I have thought about using them in some clever bump detection scheme.
I have thought about using them for almost everything except their intended
implementation.
Anyone care to throw this one around for awhile?
Thanks!
Kipling
