Well, just like my beloved <set:5235>, the various pneumatic parts (5099, 5107, 5108, 5109, 5116, 5117) are no longer available. In addition, the air tank has never - AFAIK - been available separately. Until now... :-) Unless someone else steps up (...)

| | Pneumatic Pack

i just ordered the pnuematic pack from s@h, and i plan to put it on my soon-to-be 8880. instead of my wacked "hydralics" effect, this time i plan to add a pneumatic boot. since the reach of the standard 2in cylinder is not enough to raise the boot (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

I wonder where Lego gets the tubing from. I doubt they make it themselves. I bet there is some supplier that will sell you 100' roll of it for $10. I have seen many close equivalents, but has anyone found a really good match that is easy to order (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.org.au, lugnet.technic)

| | Old pneumatic pistons
|

Hi, can anybody comment on the old pneumatic pistons, those in e.g. 8851? They seem to have only one connector, so it seems that you can only push them out, not retract them like the new ones in e.g. 8462. Or is there some spring inside to contract (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

Nice! I've been looking for good escapement designs, because I want to build a lego structure that is capable of lowering itself by means of its own weight, but at a set rate. A pendulum/escapement combination seems to be the best way to regulate (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)
