Hey guys, long time, no see. I was just lookin at all my legos and saw this little "engine" and got some ideas.
Maybe, with some mods, I could use one of the cylinders, some timing stuffs, a flywheel, and some other modded parts, and stuffs, to make it a basic air powered engine. I could time it to let air into the cylinder which would push it down, and then, with the flywheels help, the cylinder would come back up, and the cycle would continue. What do you think? I have a drill and some tubing, so I could probably do it. I just don't know how I would get the timing to work. Also, would that little cylinder be able to power a flywheel that would actually bring the piston back up? I don't know. But, I am going to try it. I will probably try to start designing stuff tonight/tomorrow. I have school tomorrow so I need to get some sleep. Anyway, if anyone has some tips for how I would do the timing with legos, please let me know. I really haven't a clue. Anyway, thanks! I'll post an update tonight or tomorrow or whenever I get something started. Anyway, thanks!
