Going from this compressor from CSSOH (the guru of pneumatics)-- (URL) was using an RC motor to power 1 mini-pump. I used it (slightly modified) for running my new 'steam' engine, 'Big Blue'-- (URL) issue is, as pointed out by CSSOH, the cylinder (...)

(...) You didn't know?!? It's a famous thing, man! Even Dr. Soh calls his variant a 'modified Hempel'. There's also a four-pump version, the Quad Hempel. It's all over the web- you're worldwide, baby! And, while you're reading this, let me say (...) (18 years ago, 3-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

Hi all. For all those who, like me, have many pneumatic cylinders, but only a limited supply of pumps, I believe I have come up with a way to get a source of air pressure, using a cylinder and two switches. I've knocked a quick circuit diagram up in (...) (18 years ago, 3-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)
