Nice find!daberno123 wrote:Here's somebody else who took an FX airgun pump and motorized it...
I've gotten to 170 for certain, but i'm probably firing at pressures closer to 200 most of the time, bike pump gauge is a free-swinging needle(can make multiple revolutions) so I can estimate a bit past the end of the gauge, but I really don't want to break an expensive pump. I'm looking for a safe way to access 400+, which I seem to have found.I have built and am working on a pneumatic cannon with fairly low capabilities, and since it is build from schedule 40 steel and aluminum, I am now looking for some way to get over ~200 psi (low, I know) chamber pressure. I do not have ready access to a refrigerator compressor, but I am interested in their capabilities (on average), and the capabilities and ease of use for a shock pump. For example, what attachment system do I need for a fridge compressor and/or a shock pump to a chamber? Are shock pumps easy to use at ~400psi (a significant upgrade for now, I'll be looking at higher pressures and hybrids later)
