(...) Dang, I just remembered. It had two 6-pump radial compressors. The "pumps" were the large kind. I think it was all hooked up to a car battery. :-) -TJ (20 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi David, Thanks for the ideas. I'll consider the planar design concept (done them before with large pumps), but first I want to try radial. I'm curious which design would have less moving parts? Less moving parts, less friction, higher (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) :) TJ, if you remember, just tell Steve privately. For me LEGO is about learning and inventing, so I just want to wait for my brickshelf parts to arrive and try out that 12 small pump radial compressor design. :) Kevin (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Did you happen to get a look at the compressor? We just need to know what size pumps it had. :) Steve (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

Last night I had this freakish dream of a giant LEGO scorpion crawling around (and very quickly too) on the floor. Kevin was standing nearby and commenting on its performance. There was someone else there too, I think it was Eric. The scorpion was (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) While a rotary design will probably be a bit more powerful, laying them all flat could be more versatile. You could place cylinders anywhere you've got a little open space, rather than having to make space for a bulky cluster of them. (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) If you rotate the pulley 90 degrees on the axle, the holes will be in the right place. Another option is to mount the other end of the pistons at 30 degrees (like a rotary engine) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)
