I love differentials. I wanted to share another trick I figured out while playing with pneumatics. By combining a differential with the motor(s) and pump(s) of a compressor, you can make a motorized switch. (URL) above behemoth compressor, I have (...)

But I've always wondered if it would be beneficial to do the same with (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) I beleive so. The most important part of the stroke for highest pressure is most compressive part (making sure the pump compresses completely). The compressed air in the pump doesn't want to do that so it pushes back on the thing trying to (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) I never liked my pumps 'hangin' out there'--I always put the other side on, whether I'm using the pulley wheels for the small pump, or the 40t gears for the big ones--having the pullys/gears on both sides of the pump handle makes it so much (...)
