I'm sure it is possible, as the switch on it is also spring loaded and has a
"motor on but switch not locked in place" setting. You'll still have to do some
lego modification by soldering at least one other cable directly to the battery
terminals if you want to drive other motors though.

There was a post about this here recently, and I think the conclusion was that
while the effect is there, other factors affect the speed of the motor more.
However, I did try running the compressor in different directions last night,
and from a subjective viewpoint at least one direction did seem faster than the
other.
