(...) I am guessing that your compressor is stalling out before you get enough pressure. The pressure in the compressor is high enough to react the torque of the motor. The fact that you have better results using one cylinder instead of two supports (...) (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) A quick search on Google shows that ABS (Acrylonitrile-butad...e-styrene) has a melting point of 103-128°C. Since water boils at 100°C, I don't have any doubt that you would see some deformation by that point. -- David Schilling (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I don't think I'd want to try this. There's a reason that LEGO recommends washing the parts only in *warm* water: if you used hot water, the plastic will start to deform. Some instructions specifically state this. For example: (URL) David (...) (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

I recently received an email from someone about strengthening gears. This person claims that by boiling the gears and then cooling them with cold water, their strength will increase. Has anyone tried this? What were your results? TJ (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) And (...) No, I'm not (IMO). (...) No, they are names, one letter of which stands for LEGO. They do not contain the word LEGO. Why else do you think LEGO leaves them alone, while asking the developers to rename legOS? ROSCO FUT: .o-t.debate (23 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
