Hi (...) These are definitely very impressive models! It must be a lot of fun digging, ripping, compacting and transporting with these earthmovers. What material do you use on your construction site? I guess it must be of very low density. Will you (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

(...) Tried it. You are right, it does produce a lot of air, but without any pressure, which seems to be essential for pneumatic engine. (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I remember seeing a model like that in the video clip from when you were interviewed on Dutch TV. That is amazing! It is even better to see it again. Are you going to bring any of your models to BrickFest this year or any year in the future? (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, FTX)

Don't know about 'beauty', but my dancing Easter chickens were popular at work: (URL) ran them off the compressed air coming out of the wall (in a hospital), and I had to turn the pressure way down to keep them from boucing apart...

(...) The first compressor (250-300 psi) is too powerful, unless you can put a regulator or pressure reducing valve on it. 20-30 psi is probably ideal. See this old thread: (URL) (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks for your reply, Danny. Have you tested the Fischertechnik with Lego? There are two types of compressors I consider at the moment: 12V, 250-300 PSI, intended to be used for vehicle tires and floating devices. These are fairly cheap, (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.technic)

I’ve build few type of pneumatic compressors with different motors and pumps, and also few types of pneumatic engines. Unfortunately, none of the Lego compressors were able to drive the engines more than one or two rounds. Manual pumping proves that (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.technic)
