Methinks you have not had the simple pleasure of playing with a hand pump (the new type of course) and an air tank like in the 8250 Submarine or 8462 Tow Truck or such like. Try it! (...)

As was carefully explained in my earlier post at (URL) is, you can store compressed air in a blue air tank (or as many of them as you have in your possession) and then release it for use later on. Then you charge it up again. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
