Going from this compressor from CSSOH (the guru of pneumatics)-- (URL) was using an RC motor to power 1 mini-pump. I used it (slightly modified) for running my new 'steam' engine, 'Big Blue'-- (URL) issue is, as pointed out by CSSOH, the cylinder (...)

(...) You didn't know?!? It's a famous thing, man! Even Dr. Soh calls his variant a 'modified Hempel'. There's also a four-pump version, the Quad Hempel. It's all over the web- you're worldwide, baby! And, while you're reading this, let me say (...) (18 years ago, 3-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hehehe. I built one a couple years ago and have never taken it apart because it works so well -- the design is great. I keep it on hand as my pure-LEGO compressor. Once in a while I forget this and try to find my "missing" 9V motor. :) (18 years ago, 3-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

Hi all. For all those who, like me, have many pneumatic cylinders, but only a limited supply of pumps, I believe I have come up with a way to get a source of air pressure, using a cylinder and two switches. I've knocked a quick circuit diagram up in (...) (18 years ago, 3-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hey guy thanks for your comments so far. They are much appreciated! I forget to mention that the loader's grab is self levelling. Having just got back into technic about a year ago, I am now starting to see the benefits of many of the newer (...) (18 years ago, 31-Oct-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Phatalicious! It looks like you covered all the necessary bases as far as functions and it looks very efficient. That should go on the Lugnet sidebar. Jon Fors forest tractor/excavator has a buddy now. (18 years ago, 31-Oct-06, to lugnet.technic)
