- Introducing the Lego Technic Auto Start Air Compressor
Build my our designs here : rebrickable.com/users/HRU%20B...
Build Your Own Compressor here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-2264...
Make sure you read the building notes for the Pneumatic circuit and additional info
Bring all of your pneumatic builds and GBC builds to life with this Auto Start Air Compressor. Now there is no need to worry about staring the compressor system, with exposed air lines or parts getting stuck in the moving parts. The Compressor starts and stops based on the pressure in the system and the tension of the rubber bands on the yellow 6L cylinder.
The Stud.io file has been uploaded to Rebrickable and the link is attached to this page.

Why Don’t you start making pneumatic engines using this compressor?
That's some of the cleanest pipe organization I've ever seen. It's beautiful
This is awesome!
I wish Lego had more pneumatic sets these days, but I guess they're mostly done with that...
Thanks. Lego is not not entirely done with pneumatic , there they come around every now and then
@@SmashingBricksAU Agreed but it would be amazing if they sold parts separately.
@@jacobrosser2310 they are selling part separately
@@takiktos1265 Where? I looked at pick a brick and couldn't find any pneumatic components apart from the T shaped joints
@@jacobrosser2310 then you searched wrong, I bought yesterday two 2x11 pistons and 2 switches on pick a brick
Maybe that's because i live in Europe
awesome build!! I had to build it myself and I bought all the necessary bits and pieces. Now to figure out what to power with it xD
thanks for sharing the instructions!
Put rubber pads on the bottom to further reduce noise.
Also, excellent build, i might have to make one myself.
Thanks! It is a good compact compressor. I was thinking about adding the extra rubber feet. The dampeners work well now but it could always be better! The table does resonate a lot so that doesn't help.
Thank you for sharing. This is excellent! Great build.
No Problem Erez, More to come!
WOOOW this made me smile. I love the rubber dampeners such nice detail to incorporate. A UA-camr by Ranz Milan made a peristaltic pump like a unit similar to this. It would be nice to have both in a Lego workshop!
Thanks. I use it to test build but then a small air brush compressor for my larger builds
Wow very smart setup
Nice design i really like it
Very nice, Was looking for a project like this.
Only thing your missing is holes in the bottom for fork lift forks
Good idea, didn't think of forks. But the final design has lifting points
Really cool !
Thanks!
Genius build 💪
Thanks! Are you going to give it a go?
Nice setup!
Thanks. There will be a new file up on rebrickable very shortly.
The rebrickable link doesn't actually contain instructions. If one is fine building entirely from a model file, that might be okay, but pdf instructions might be a lot easier to use for many people, myself included. The only pdf file that I saw was for some building notes, not the actual build instructions.
Correct. People do not want to pay for instructions and they do take time to make. What price would you be willing to pay for a set of instructions? Also Studio does not yet have all of the available parts in the parts pallet which can cause some issues with building instructions
@@SmashingBricksAU I made comment on the matter because at the Rebrickable website, it suggests there is a link to building instructions, but no actual building instructions can be found there.
I understand that such things take time to make, and that this time should reasonably be compensated. If you aren't willing to give out instructions for your own models for free, that's your right. The only reason why I had been expecting to find instructions in the first place is because the link at the rebrickable site suggested that they could be found there, not because I believe you should be spending your time making such things and then freely giving away hard work.
Also, I mean no offense, but why are you asking what price I would be willing to pay for something that you've basically also just admitted that you didn't expect anyone to pay in the first place, not to mention revealed that you apparently don't have the tools to make?
How much I'd personally be willing to pay for instructions would actually depend entirely on the completeness and quality of the instructions, but unless you were offering such instructions for sale and willing to suggest a price point, it honestly seems to me like the question is rather moot.
You should place a mechanical actuator between the yellow zylinder and the electronic switch so you can change the minimum/ maximum pressure.
For some reason, when I hook up the cylinder to the motor to make it automatic it doesn’t compress even thought it is still running, when I take it off the motor it compresses air
THIS IS SOLD ON THE INTERNET!!!
Hey - thanks for this build, I've used it to supply compressed air to Akiyuki's 6-axis manipulator (I built my own end effector, basically just a gripper with a small V2 pneumatic cylinder). Any advice on dealing with the friction in the switch? I've ordered three different switches, but with my current elastic band setup, the shut-off is around 3 bar (great) but if pressure is gradually reduced (i.e. by actuation of the end effector), I only get start-up at around 0.4 bar. I'm using the recommended switch (with reduced friction). Any thoughts? I'd like to get it to start-up at a higher pressure. Thanks again!
Hi, I got a problem with the air compressor I made using your design.
So how do you connect the air pressure clock to the air compressor?
And how do you connect the 2 air tanks too?
Is Amazon rlly in the chat I didn't know Jeff cared about legos
Hey I’m just wondering does this make enough air pressure so I could power a small pneumatic motor with this compressor? Great video!
Yes
does this make enough pressure to power a pneumatic engine?
Yay, GBC.
Checkout the Lego Boost GBC ua-cam.com/video/RstnGxkrVS4/v-deo.html
Got to love some GBC!
Nice
where to buy it?
Is there a switch... ON THE SWITCH???
What?
I would love to add some usb battery eliminators and then use that as some sort of keyboard cleaner
Sadly I don’t think the air pressure would be fast enough, at least for sticky residue. I resell keyboards and a tooth brush tends to do a lot more than compressed air can.
@@babascustomlegocreations8837 im more talking for how potato chips
Gaming For Live depends how soon you get them, eventually they will crumble and stick to the inside of the keyboard along with dust.
@@babascustomlegocreations8837 i know its called experience
Gaming For Live haha well I don’t like experience then, it’s disgusting!
really a master piece sir :) so amazing, have a little error on rebrickable, the link redirect to neumatic gbc :(
Hello @caossoftware, glad you like the design. Interesting ont he Rebrickable link. It should take you to the landing page for my Rebrickable page and then you should be able to see the Commpressor (and others). When the video went live the MOC had not bee approved by the admins from Rebrickable and maybe that is why it was not there. Never mind here it is rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-22647/HRU%20Bricks/lego-technic-auto-start-air-compressor/#comments .
Are you going to build it? Let me know how you go!
@@SmashingBricksAU I think will nee more pieces , the manometer isnt on spare parts :(
@@caosoftware It is a pain as Stud.io and LDD do not model the nano meter and the cylinders are not dynamic so they are very hard to use. The To help out I will upload some building notes to Rebrickable and bricksafe to help. The parts needed are in the "inventory area" on Rebrickable Are you building one?
I have just updated the link to the files to the compressor of Rebrickable they now go to the Compressor. Click on building instructions to get to the files rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-22647/HRU%20Bricks/lego-technic-auto-start-air-compressor/#comments
@@SmashingBricksAU yeah im gathering all the pices to make one, but the manometer and one air deposit are gone will got it when finish all projects on table(42078 black/dark grey/red( 42077 black/orange/white) and some more
@@caosoftware That's great you are building one! You will need to send me some pics or add them to the Reibrickable page as a fan build. The building notes have been uploaded to bricksafe and include the Pneumo circuit design. Thanks again for letting me know that you were having some troubles, if you have any more let me know. I am actually designing version 2 so stay tuned in for that one. www.bricksafe.com/pages/HRU_Bricks/lego-technic-auto-start-air-compressor
......could this be ran in reverse to nake a vacuum pump?
Unfortunately not as that is not the way the Lego pumps are valved. That said you may be could reveres the one way valve that is on the inside of the blue pump then add a second one way value....that would work then.
@@SmashingBricksAU still...that sounds equally cool, a vacuum pump made from lego, i know it wouldn't be perfect....but i wonder how low it would go.....
@@stapuft It is actually hard to keep a vacuum so I would say maybe 0.5 to 0.8 of a Bar
their are some on aliexpress selling full built/kits for over £100 kinda crazy
Btw ITS in Amazon
I am guessing that this also works as a vacuum pump right?
using that old distribution block yes
Oh boy I'm suffocating.
Time to watch a video of how to make air
there is always one
more air tanks = more air storage
cover it up with flat panels
Can you do a tutorial
When you say tutorial do you mean building instructions? The video goes through the functions and how the machine operates and if you go to the rebrickable link you can get the pipe diagram and design files
Yes show how you build it
How to build
Hi, click the link in the comments to the Re-brickable page with the digital design file
And people still think Lego is still only for kids
It's not anymore! Adults are one of the largest growth areas for Lego. I called it a few years back and now there is an 18+ line of sets . The other thing that is happening is adults are buying multiple sets just for the parts so they can build what they want (case and point - what I do!)
Awesome build, awful to put music on an talk video. That’s a no go
Bruh just use a bike pump
Can you fit a bike pump in a pneumatic engine car?
@@autumnfire1490 no use the bike pump to pump up a pop bottle with a shraider valve to hold the pressure once it's in the bottle then use a 3 way adapter to fit Lego pneumatic tubing inside of it
I just prefer a power source inside the car rather than needing to be refilled
Whatever works for you mate
STOP ACTING LIKE IT ISNT MADE OUT IF LEGO
