world's smallest running LEGO pneumatic V2



This is the result of combining two LEGO interests: pneumatic engines, and miniaturization. It fits inside a 6x6x6 box (with the exception of the crank etc.).

THE GREADUAL ADJUSTER


THE GREADUAL ADJUSTER a video by LegoKiwi on Flickr.


The Gradual Adjuster is a 19th century style machine built to make small turns of a wheel at a time. Geared down from the flywheel it can probably make 1 degree turns. I first designed this machine years ago in my first year of intermediate, of course then it was a rainbow warrior :D
