Yes, I quite agree with you. I think it is a matter of physics - you
can only get out so much air power what you put in, in electrical watts
of power.
You could try adding more of the LEGO motors even the R/C buggy ones,
but I think it can only be done by using a powerful motor drawing
something like 3 - 5 Amps, which will take us into the area of
industrial type air compressors. Of which I am seriously trying to get
one as the ultimate solution to the air supply problem.

Of course. Which makes a mobile pneumatic bot out of the question
unfortunately.
