Well, I saw this, and I decided that it just wouldn't be nice to not put it. I don't know what sort of operation speed these have, but they look very cool. I live somewhat close to here, so if you are interested something just might be able to work out.
EDIT: Holy SHIOT umm that is like 101 or so things... In one auction! Uh oh.
Valves of 1337 complexity

HOLY SHIZA!!
those valves must be 2" or so
and you get the smaller valves
and and and you could resell the control units to gain a profit

As it's officially listed as Boeing surplus, I doubt it.

Heck, I'd have those at that price. That's valves for only a couple of bucks each.
I imagine you could use a couple yourself, then you could easily shift the rest to other spudders at a very tidy profit.

why exactly
1.5" valves for very very cheap, that have the potential to make for some very fast golfballs
this is nothing short of a 'deal of the month', if i had been anywhr near there i would be down there picking them up

If you read the specs close enough there are little things like:
"Must be mounted vertically with solenoid up--------"
This may limit your mounting options.
"Double construction on diaphragm to prevent leakage -----"
This seems like it will slow down opening time.
I just feel there are better choices to come along. If these were the 8353 series pulse valves, I would bid on it in a heartbeat and have them shipped to me.
I guess if you lived real close it may be worth it and were willing to gamble how well the 1-1/2" will work. That is just my opinion based on reading and analyzing the specs.
Maybe the valves would work in a hybrid? They are combustible gas valves.
