 | | A free motorized switch with every compressor
|
|
I love differentials. I wanted to share another trick I figured out while playing with pneumatics. By combining a differential with the motor(s) and pump(s) of a compressor, you can make a motorized switch. (URL) above behemoth compressor, I have (...)
