Ahhhh, that's better. Adding the extra pulley on the face of the gear was
a stroke of genius! Sometimes we get so focused on the task at hand that
it never occurs to us to make improvements.
I figured with two cylinders I was better off with less stroke but more
volume. Turns out that the last little bit of stroke is what builds
up all the extra pressure...
Well done!
Cheers,

| (...) I'm glad that worked Ralph. I still haven't done the mod to my version of your compressor yet. Just finished a three day hobby show... LEGO was a huge success with the 8 to 10,000 attendees! Back to my own building. <ICS> (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
