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)

(...) Thank you. (...) Well we must agree that the switch solution is a bit gangly. I'd like to work on a more compact solution before I bother with the engine. When simply run on compressed air, the sequencer cycled faster than I would have (...) (19 years ago, 23-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) 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)
