Pneumatic Air Commpressor
As you all know I recently got the pneumatics add on kit. One of the projects in the instruction book is an air compressor but after building it I noticed how slow it compressed air. So I decided to get to work and build one of my own. After a short while It was complete. This is still one of the early versions but I plan to keep changing it until I get to the final version. It is heavily geared up with a speedy m-motor. It uses the micro pump so it would normally be really slow pumping but with this setup it can pump almost faster then me with a large pump. This might be handly to have along side you pumping your large pump when making pneumatic engines. here is a short video of what this can do.
