New Pneumatic video

Well, here it is. A fully compiled video fo my "Newtons Law" 2"pneumatic in action. Too bad youtube defiled the high resolution so bad, but it is still good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqp5GMs2IYc Before anyone asks, it's an all steel, 4"piston, 2" barrel, monster running 120psi. With a 2" dia, ...

I've never seen anything like this group. You have a ton of people here, and all they want you to do is read an archive of old messages. You guys watch reruns a lot too? Every time someone asks a legit question, you all spend more time bitching and calling names than answering the original question ...

2" trailer balls (That was my vid mentioned) work very well if you can fin a cheap or free source. Aluminum caulking tubes ballasted with a little thinset or portland cement are the cats ass. Many vids of these can be found at www.xr650r.us/cannon/steel and two are at youtube under "ke1lb". I have a...

Aww, shucks, now you're gonna make me feel bad for my borderline sarcastic reply! :-] I agree with the answer, and yeah, different fuels definitely have different potential energies. I've pretty much settled on pneumatics for now, I really like the overall simplicity and durability, along with a nev...

Nah, that wasn't meant for you, nor was it any kind of challenge, or "My Mama wears bigger army boots than yours" type of thing, I was just trying to figure out some logic that was thrown out.

Thanks for the kudos and 90 to 120 psi, all I got.

Next weekend I'll be completing an upgrade of the 2" tank to valve junction to 3.5", coupled with a much tighter piston to valve wall seal.

Next comes recoil.........

So what you're telling me is that your 40psi of quieter combustion is stronger than my 120psi of air? I look at it this way......... I've got no "whoosh after the "pop" like my last pneumatic did. It is one solid "crack" report that is diminished slightly by a 7' longer barrel, over the 10' in stock...

Actually, my pneumatic makes more of a bang than the combustion ever did. We're talking "ear protection mandatory" type bang.........

Looks sweet dude, but don't forget to polish it! Hybrid would be nice, but I enjoy a bit of simpicity. Thus the reason I've settled upon pneumatics. Plug it in and fire away. No more dicking with fuel, load, fire, vent, fuel, load, fire, etc

Too much work!

The sprinkler valve will release air far quicker than anything you could do with a ball valve. Figuratively speaking, it might take 1 second to open a ball valve, while a modded sprinkler would be somewhere around .005 seconds. The slower time opening a BV results in a slowly growing "ramp" of air c...

That thing is sweet! Oh, how I long to have equipment capable of working with stainless! I haven't even a welder capable of working the stuff, I'm using a stick to do this.

Get out the elbow grease, that thing'd look awesome with a mirror finish!
