We have run this at multiple demos at around a 30% duty cycle for 2-4 hours with no problems. In the end it gets a little toasty, but its been working for a good 20 demos now in addition to being used many years ago on one of our competition bots.
How do you manage a 30% duty cycle at a demo?!? We usually run at almost 100%. Granted that is a pretty small cylinder but I imagine you are firing it pretty frequently.
