Could somebody point me towards a fast, powerful compressor design please? I've been trying to build one, but I keep ending up with junk. I have two small pumps, two large pumps, and a number of motors. I have no one-way valves, and so cannot build (...) (20 years ago, 2-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The answer to your question, as you worded it, is no. This is a bit like asking can you put to 120vac light bulbs together so that their total power would be more than 120vac? Of course the answer is no, since you only have a single 120vac (...) (20 years ago, 1-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

Is it possible to set two lego 9v motors together so their total power would be more than 9v? (20 years ago, 1-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)
