| (...) Hydraulics and pneumatics are similar. Pneumatics uses air, which is a gas and can be compressed. Air pressure difference is what makes pneumatics work. Hydraulics uses fluids which compresses a little, but not much compared to gasses. Both (...) (19 years ago, 23-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)

| Vineet, if I have been following the threads properly- the breakthrough that may allow the use of hydraulics with Lego penumatic components is the set up which takes out the implicit forth port so you dont get squirting oil from your creations. It (...) (19 years ago, 23-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) One question I have is related to the construction of the first generation of the Lego pneumatic system that had 2 ports for each piston (circa-1989). I had a piston from a 1989 pneumatic universal set in which I tried to put water in them to (...) (19 years ago, 23-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) FYI: The first LEGO pneumatics system had single ported pistons. Also the only difference between pump and piston was that the pump had return springs. Here is the 60mm version of the original pneumatic single ported system. (URL) bricklink (...) (19 years ago, 23-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)
