i wish that the pumps we have did have a pressure input on them... if it did then we could bleed the pressure from an extended but retracting cylinder back into the pump to make its work easyer. kinda like a closed system.. but I can see problems with it too..
you would need a popoff valve on the return pressure side to prevent the return and the supply from equalizing and freezing the cylenders untill the compressor could lower the pressure in the return side.
but its all a moot point cause the compressor doesent have that input, and we cant make a fitting for it to have...
tho another interesting idea is to use exuasted cylender air to cool your motors.. I mean it was cooled when it expanded from the cylender and its going to waist if you dont do somthing with it..
ohwell.. just a few thoughts.. take them as you will
