| | | While I'm waiting for an opportunity to pick up my first pneumatic components (I just need to make sure that my budget will allow for this), I've been trying to come up with some designs that are both creative and interesting ways to use them. I (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) I have not yet played much with pneumatics yet - but I have bought plenty of Lego! In a nutshell, your timing is excellent. Lego is just now introducing a new pneumatics model that incorporates an insane amount of pneumatic components - wich (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) This shouldn't be a problem for me. I've come up with my own design for pneumatic logic gates (without using negative pressure even!) where each piston is attached to the handle of one or more switches very much like in your Synchropillar (...)

If the piston doesn't contract then the switch posistion (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) The premise would be that I would actually be supplying inputs to both ends of a destination piston. Since my gates produce *BOTH* the required combinational logic output and its complement on two separate valves, I just hook both airflow (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | Okay... quick question, going back to square one. How many switches could I actually realistically gang onto one pneumatic piston so that the piston's position will simultaneously flip all of them? I've just worked out a design for an octal register (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)
