Re: vacuum generators

One of the best ways to generate a vacuum is using a Venturi pump(also sometimes called an vacuum generator). It works by harnessing the the splitting of air to create high and low pressure as it moves through the pump. Many companies make such devices including SMC (http://www.smcetech.com/CC_host/page...P,NODE_14045)))
who is a supplier to FIRST.

Hope that helps,
