| (...) Mark Riley was nice enought to point out the errors in my math. The area of the piston care is pi * r^2 = 0.2 Four times that is 0.8. So the minimal pressure needed is 10 pounds / 0.8 square inches or, 12.5 pounds per square inch. Still well (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Hmmmm.... interesting question. I don't know much pneumatic theory, but..... Pressure is in pounds per square inch. So if we know the area of the face of a piston, and we know the pressure we can determine how many pounds a single piston can (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) That's up to you. I'd like to see it move as fast as possible, but I think even if we make it as small as possible, it's going to weigh at least 10 pounds. 3 or 4 pounds will be the RCXs, battey box, Spybot, and motors. So, what will it take (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Well 16 segments means 32 pistons and 64 switches. I have that much easily, but the bulk of it is in-model in inchworm, quad242 and PHD. PHD is too expensive to keep around once I get it all hosed together and working. It has 48 switches in (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

Yes, slow, more pressure, or more force. Shall I assume four pistons per leg? (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
