  Re: 6293 rc receiver Auxiliary output possible?
 
thanks for checking Mark! that is more help than i expected. too bad it's not going to work. guess i'm going to have to buy another receiver from bricklink if i really want the extra output. bob (...)

(...) Thinking about this more....... One of the reasons that makes this slow is the inherent piston friction which combined with pressure defines the rate of expansion and contraction. So the rate is not very negotiable. But using rate * time = (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) ... (...) With twice the pistons, the pressure is not as great, but the volume of air would be doubled, right? Using logic, not physics, I think once the pressure is built up (to 13 psi) the compressor may have to do less work to keep it (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSClagorpion
 
(...) Mark Riley was nice enought to point out the errors in my math. The area of the piston care is pi * r^2 = 0.2 Four times that is 0.8. So the minimal pressure needed is 10 pounds / 0.8 square inches or, 12.5 pounds per square inch. Still well (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSClagorpion
 
(...) Hmmmm.... interesting question. I don't know much pneumatic theory, but..... Pressure is in pounds per square inch. So if we know the area of the face of a piston, and we know the pressure we can determine how many pounds a single piston can (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

I've finally finished the write-up of my carousel at (URL) to .spybotics because it's Spybot powered. (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.town)

(...) That's up to you. I'd like to see it move as fast as possible, but I think even if we make it as small as possible, it's going to weigh at least 10 pounds. 3 or 4 pounds will be the RCXs, battey box, Spybot, and motors. So, what will it take (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
