I decided to use the pump motor as the switch mechanism for my (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)

To build the pressure/vac engine all you would have to do, I assume, is split the (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)

Rubber bands compress the piston. When the piston is most contracted, the switch is off. (...) (19 years ago, 23-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)
