Hello

Try to get one of the early technic pneumatic sets, like the 8851 or
8843
TRhese set have a grey 4 x 2 brick with valves. This pump pushes the
air through one side of the brick and sucks the out of the brick using
the other valve. These cilinders have only one air inlet/outlet.

The latest pneumatic sets all have two air inlets and only use
pressure.


But you can also make them "sucking" by mechanically pulling or pushing the
piston. Their working principle is applying pressurized air to the one face
of the piston, then piston goes opposite side, right*. so if you pull or
push the piston by other means (most probably by the help of another couple
of pistons) you get a low pressure volume, providing that the air supply
inlet is connected to a sealed vacuum chamber, etc.

Hi Technic heads,

Is it possible to build a pneumatic _SUCTION_ system using only LEGO • parts?

I've seen many pneumatic PUMP systems.
But my goal is to have a MindStorms controlled suction system that • can lift
a LEGO brick (on the flat side of course).
But before I get that far...
I cannot seem to get my pump to "suck", it only "pumps" -- hence the • name, I
guess ;-)

Currently, I only have a Pneumatic Pump 2" cylinder (#5107) and • Pneumatic
Piston 2" cylinder (#5108).
I'm willing to purchase more pneumatic parts if it would help me • achieve my
goal.

Should I get #5116 Pneumatic Cylinder 1 1/4" and #5117 Compressor • pump?
Or should I get a set that has pneumatics? Which one(s)?
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Hari Wiguna
