(...) That's awesome dude. How did you get your hands on one so early? Is there a second model? What can it do? (...) Hey thanks, I can't wait for those pictures. If I have to wait another day i'll go mad (call me impatient). Thanks again Allan. (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

Here are two pictures, the left image shows the engine running forward. The right image shows it running backwards. You can see that the differential case is turned about 90 degrees between the two images. (URL) still haven't worked on building (...)

(...) Yes, I quite agree with you. I think it is a matter of physics - you can only get out so much air power what you put in, in electrical watts of power. You could try adding more of the LEGO motors even the R/C buggy ones, but I think it can (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) My solution to insufficent air pressure generation was to replace the gear motor in my triple compressor with one of the motors from the R/C buggy. It works brilliantly. Instead of adding compressors, I simply run the ones I have faster. The (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

Hi pneumatic fans, Hot on the heels of the radial engine by Paul Krieg comes another radial design. After building Paul's radial engine, Joe Laleman has come up with his own multi-motor multi-pump compressor, inspired by the radial engine: (URL) Joe (...)

In the Netherlands 8465 is EUR 44,99 and 8466 is EUR129,- At todays rates that makes $53,15 for the 8465 and $152,39 for the 8466. Somehow I think you'll get them cheaper in the US... Duq "Max Maxwell" <r34_v@yahoo.com> wrote in message (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

I too miss some of the great Technic sets from Lego history (my first was 856). I agree with what you said though. There are a few sets I wanted that I have missed over the years, but really wanted (8459, 8856, 8862). I think there are a lot of (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)
