Moving Air Task

-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Can we assume that when they say "not pneumatic" they mean that the moving air should be unenclosed?

That was my interpretation of it.

Drop a weight on bellows/air bladder, release air from a balloon, something like that. Or just electricity and a fan.

Hey everyone! I have a question about the wind power and simultaneous events. Suppose the the wind from the fan powers another event entirely. Specifically, I want to use the wind to turn the screw attached to blades. On the rules, it states that the moving air needs to *start* the next action. Can it power another action entirely? Thanks!

The wind still starts the next action, and nowhere in the rules does it say it can't continue the next action. Submit a clarification if you want to be sure, though. My guess is that it's fine--they're allowing the gas from the chemical reaction to fill up the balloon, even though they run somewhat simultaneously.

I followed your advice.

I emailed my regional supervisor, and she replied that I would have to be careful about it; she stated that the action would be a parallel task. Therefore, I think I'll just add another fan to power the screw.

Thanks!

I'm trying to use the air from a fan to power a car forward which pulls a string with tape attached to it, off of a funnel. The funnel is for the sand timer. When it works its great, but it is inconsistent. Does anyone know a more efficient way to do this?
