You guys are smart. I get lost reading your posts but can appreciate the genius
displayed in them.
Could pneumatics be used to pump a liquid? I mean, you know how air pressure is
used in spray bottles/soap dispensors? The moving air goes over a gap that is
the end of a verticle tube leading down into the liquid reservior. Since there
is less pressure in a moving fluid (air in this instance), it draws the liquid
up the tube and out the sprayer. Lets say someone wanted to build a tanker
truck (a non-lego air-tight chamber inside a Lego brick tank). Could they use a
motorized or manual pump to spray the liquid in this fashion? It shouldn't even
get the pneumatics wet.
I don't recall ever seeing this idea implemented before, but if it has been done
before- Jacub Mauer or Glen Bell may have done it.
Is this a good idea or am I crazy? (I hope that last question does not open a
pandora's box of comments!)

| (...) Hi Nathan, It is possible to make a sprayer using pneumatics. Imagine how a super soaker works. You have a water tank, and an air pressure tank. You pump up pressure in the air pressure tank. Once you release that pressure, the water is (...) (19 years ago, 19-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)
