[9v system]

hi all I am trying to design a small robust compressor and came up with a design that works well and uses hardly any parts

Wow, it is so compact, that it is barely to see, amazing!

I think You miss something from the post.

Yep! A pictures and an Image.

Why did you post an empty topic?

Is your creation the smallest and most robust compressor? Or will you be using it in a MOC for the contest?

[arshiaIQ]

I think you used pure white parts so nothing can be distinguished from the background

Just like all A4 papers which all have a polar bear stuck in snow :D

hmm... using all the superlatives in the title is dangerous. It only can make the perceprion of your creation worse.

The wheel is also invented many times

Oh yes, but whenever someone presents an average wheel, perhaps even a bit worse than average wheels and call it 'worlds best and most round wheel', it makes me feel weird about it :)

Well, not to criticize, but it uses two precious 5x7 frames when it really needs zero of these. Examples:

You didn't answer my question. Please do so.

well I wanted this to be my creation, I don't have anything else to use apart from akiyukis pneumatic module, I have designed it like this so it can be hand cranked and is sturdy enough to hold.

nice creation and I don't see why not just compressors cannot be an entry.... (most entries will contain some sort of compressor anyway) but nice for the entry just to be the compressor

Here is one I did with the RC motor with possible even less moving parts:

Okay cool. Thanks for the clarification.

It's definitely allowed.

Nice one! Thanks for sharing, think I will test out the same on my 8421.

It doesn't need an airtank it is that powerful...

Back on topic: the OP hand cranked pumps is so beautifully simple I would love to see technic maxifigs attached to it doing the pumping....(probably their arms would break as always)
