25. Vermeer TS44A Tree Spade Trailer (1:13)

A tree spade is a specialized machine that mechanizes the transplanting of large plants, including large bushes and small or medium trees. The machine consists of a number of blades that encircle the tree, digging into the ground and then lifting the entire tree, including its roots and soil, out of the ground and replanting or transplanting the whole tree in the designated area.

32. 4-8-2 Pneumatic Locomotive

Functions: 

This entry has only one function, conversion of linear energy into rotational energy, also known as driving the wheels.  This model comes with added bonus of sounding like an old steam train too.

Functions:

  • Pneumatic bucket tilting
  • Pneumatic bucket lifting
  • 4x4 drivetrain

It's a 9 stud wide model, close to minifig scale. I tried to use as many yellow parts, as possible, to give the "all yellow" look.

36. Pneumatic Classic Locomotive

This model tries to simulate the steam pressure in classic locomotives using LEGO pneumatic system. It also tries to model the looks of a classic locomotive.

Functions:

  • Compressor (1 big + 2 small pumps all coupled together) 
  • Pneumatic Engine using 2 cylinders, 2 switches, and connected to 4 LEGO large bike wheels. The drive is achieved by semi-alternative push of the wheels by each cylinder. Deadlocks are prevented by using only 90 degrees difference among the cylinders and by connecting the switches of each side to the other side. This is illustrated below.

 

  • Locomotive Headlight

The Pneumatic Compressor. The large pump puts most of the power, I added 2 small pumps and this seems the maximum using 2 XL motors and a single battery box.

Otherwise the pressure could be increased but the model has to be much larger.

This diagram illustrates how everything is connected to achieve drive.

Note that the phase shift among the cylinders is 90 degrees and the leading cylinder receives reversed air connections.
