Has anyone ever built a flying Lego airplane or a speed boat? What ever happened to Dave Mercil's website? (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) All of my "bugged" characters got the Ensign from Jala *after* the new episode was installed. I _think_ the bug has been fixed. Did you try speaking to Jala again? (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

Alternativeley you can continue using the valve with the old style pump and have an air tank (if you own two) on each side i.e. one that holds the vaccum and one that holds the pressureized air. but... theres still the problem of flipping the valve (...)

(...) Also, the external pressure is usually fairly fixed (atmospheric pressure) and there's a lower limit to the internal pressure (absolute vacuum), but no intrinsic upper limit (though it is limited by the strength of the tank). Therefore a (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

Instead of pushing a pneumatic switch back and forth, you can use the old non-return valve: (URL) the pump to the middle hole, connect the air tank to the left hole and leave the right hole free. The old style pump will pull air out of the tank and (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

Now as I understand it, the air tank is meant to store (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

You'd have to have some kind of pressure release (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

You say it is not possible to use an air tank in the old style circuit, but would it work with two air tanks, one on the high pressure hose and the other on the vaccuum hose, between the pneumatic "diode" and valve?
