www.techbricks.nl LEGO pneumatic air compressor regulating vast pumps as well as Power Function motors. The air vigour is regulated by a Power Functions stick reverser switch as well as a cylinder. The Mindsensors vigour sensor for Mindstorms NXT is used to magnitude a pressure.

    two pf xl motors don’t need a worm screw gear box

    @sholtob im trying to buils a 6 gear gearbox :P

    you should make a gearbox so its fast at the begining but becomes slow and powerful at the end

    slow = no air dipshit. DUH

    true, didn’t think of that

    its possible to bend the first coil off then then rest comes off easy, and you can put it back on :) , no harm done

    cutting the springs off the pump help the motor, but then thats just wrong to do that to lego :(

    great project looks strong

    Why does EVERYONE asks “why u use it slow” and something like that??!?!??!?! EVERYONE knows the answer! Simplified, its the same as The Slower = The Stronger. So SHUT UP!

    u should forget the regulator and just put all the air in a bottle and compress it all see how much PSI u can get it would be cool

    nope… torque isn’t power. power is torque times angular velocity.

    Power = Torque * Speed ;)

    the reason why it is going so slow is because of the spinning spiral on top that turns the other gears, it gives it more power so it can get more pressure into the tank. besides, torque is power not speed.

    The motor doesnt have enough torque to turn it faster…

    es ist besser, wenn man die federn der pumpen entfernt, kann man nachher auch wieder ganz leicht anbringen…

    why u driving it so slowly??

    very nice! if it only came in compact lol. (i tried to make a lego battlebot with a pneumatic flipper- but it requred pumping after the third lift)… It was scrapped

    that’s 1 crazy pump!

    Cool Pump,
    Listen to the Lego Flexpicker video and you can hear how fast it gets going when you use a RC buggy motor and two pumps with the springs taken off. It rocks much faster.
    Good job.

    oh james is right. these two forces don’t cancel each other exactly. someone who has time and interest can calculate the actual force (as a function of the degree of the big gray wheels)

  22. mesart

    well, since the two pumps have 180degre to each other, the forces of the two springs cancel each other.

    thats wank m8

    very nice. but you should remove the springs of the pumps, then you can make it faster
