Isn't there a way to connect a cylinder to a rotating cam powered by a motor and have that act as either a compressor or vacuum pump by use of a one way valve? I know I've done it with legos.
The problem is (for a compressor anyway) that the assembly must be very rigid because it will want to blow it's mounting points if it compressing the air is very difficult. Also, it will shake itseld very violently when the psi's start rising.
So do we even get one way valves? We have never used pneumatics so far so I am not too familiar.
