Air Pump

"Air pumps are used to provide buoyancy in enclosed water tight spaces by pumping out the water. They must not be exposed to water in any direction."

An Air Pump pumps water from the vehicle, increasing its buoyancy (ability to float).

Application
They are mainly used on boats, in ballast tanks and they do not need power to run.

Requirement
They must be placed in enclosed and water tight spaces.

Output
Buoyancy in cubic metres. Adding more than a single Air Pump in a specific enclosed space will not increase buoyancy, only one (The first that was placed) will function. The only purpose of this is redundancy.

Controls
Via Automated Control Block

Limitations

 * They cannot be placed on Turrets or Spin/Turn Blocks.
 * They also do not affect Fortresses and Structures.
