| Picture | Name | Purpose | Practicality |
 |
Single acting pneumatics with spring return. (and other ideas) | Provide pneumatic function using less air. | Very practical. Compressors don't have to work as hard. |
 |
Four way driver #1 | Allows one motor to control four single direction outputs. | Pretty impractical since the gears don't always mesh properly. |
 |
Four way driver #2 | Same mechanism, but uses friction drive to eliminate problems with gear meshing. | Much more practical, since proper meshing of gear teeth is not an issue. |
 |
CVT | A friction drive continuously variable transmission. | Its just a concept that needs improvement. |
 |
Resistor | Allows you to distinguish between two touch sensors on the same port. | Very useful, only requires some care in the programming. |
 |
Quick return mechanism | This mechanism produces a quick return stroke: just the thing for a compressor. | Might be useful for compressors and other things. |
 |
Torsen Differential | A type of automatically locking differential | Kind of big, but could be used for large scale models. |
