(...) Hi max For pneumatics you have to go and see CSSOH page: (URL) is few pneumatics on my LEGOTIC site too: (URL) of course Kevin Clague' site: (URL) don' t know for what kind of construction you need to use pneumatics... sometimes you need no (...) (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'll throw in my personal experience just for fun here. I used two air tanks on my R996 excavator ((URL) and a compressor that had two small pneumatic "pumps". When operating the model, it took a long while for the tanks to charge up, and then (...) (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Isn't the force generated by the pneumatics directly proportional to the air pressure, which in turn directly proportional to the amount of air in the tank? So the larger the tank is, the longer you can sustain the force during the bleeding of (...) (21 years ago, 27-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Chris, I trust your judgement here. I've not done the math myself, nor have I created a 2 Liter presure tank. It must be time for me to create a compressor using the RC racers motors. They eat a lot of power, so they have to be run by battery (...) (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)
