Hells yeah!
I know there is a lot of discussion and good information in THIS THREAD, but I guess you may already know it!

He didn't, he uses push pistons.... but not as we now it... he lets the air in at the "wrong" side of the cilinder.... so he has made the inlet where normally the outlet is....
