You could time how long it takes to winch a small amount of weight
hanging off the edge of a table top a certain distance. See the recent
power pulling threads to see what I mean. From that you can figure out

You could use it to turn one of the 9v gearmotors and see how many
light bricks you can juice up from the "output" of the motor.
PS. Am I the only one who doesn't have the red, single-acting
cylinders ?!
