Ever since NW BrickCon, where one of the Dirty Brickster gifts was a modified USB thumb drive embedded into a 2x6 LEGO brick, I've wanted to try playing with something like that. So, with all the good deals on personal electronics last weekend, I (...) (18 years ago, 28-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Thanks, "OC." Now I feel like a real troll, fishing that compliment out of you! As you can probably tell, this clock is supposed to look like nothing more than a clock. An antique granddaughter clock or something similar. Pretty bland from the (...) (18 years ago, 22-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Man, I hate chasing posts to other groups, but for you Chris, I must. This is a nice looking new clock, but I must admit that it won't fit into a town as well as the old one :) Chris (18 years ago, 22-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

Not content with a clock mechanism that was 12 studs wide, I completely redesigned the reduction geartrain yesterday, resulting in a mechanism that is only 8 studs wide. There is much less friction in this new design than in the previous one, so it (...) (18 years ago, 21-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| | 100% LEGO Technic Clock with Electric Drive
|
|
I've spent the past few days refining the design of my (URL) Technic clock>. I've managed to convert it to electric drive (using a 9V micro motor) which enabled me to get rid of the 2-lb. weight and string. This made it possible to further reduce (...)

Since Erik does not appear to be tuting his own horn, I will do it for him. (URL) appears to have all of the functions of the older supercar designs by TLC and it looks just like a Countach. Good work Erik! (18 years ago, 17-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Pat, Well I think the 8860 is a great place to start. That configuration could hold a lot of weight, do you have any idea how much you need to support? (URL) (18 years ago, 13-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Technic Gurus! I'm starting what I consider to be an ambitious project -- My area of "expertise" (if you will) is Classic Space, but I am considering a large space vehicle with potential dimensions of 22 studs width and between 64 and 80 studs (...) (18 years ago, 13-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

| | Re: Pneumatic cylinder/pump

Well I've just built this, and I can say that with a minor modification the pump works fine. You need to join the outputs from the two switches depicted through a third switch to prevent pressure being lost through the exhaust port. However, since (...) (18 years ago, 12-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

You might as well use it in style-- (URL) YouTube vid in which I connected the LEGO capacitor to a 9v motor and dropped it on the 854 go-cart chassis Yes it wasn't the original blue 854--I wasn't willing to put that one in harms way :) Anyway, (...)

Hey, This is, indeed, an awesome set, both as a town set and as a source of parts (31 14-long technic beams alone, not to mention other beams and technic bits, plus tons of basic bricks, plates, tiles). To me it's the porta-potty that makes the set, (...) (18 years ago, 9-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I think this is one of the best System sets to come out in quite a while. You get an amazing number and variety of pieces for a very good price, including those triangular girders (16 of them!) in yellow. I've only ever seen them in black, and that (...)
