Re: Legality of pnumatic ball launcher systems

I'd think the main disadvantage in using a vacuum in a cylinder for energy storage is that you only get -15 psi (negative one atmosphere) pulling pressure at best, or a quarter of the pushing pressure available with a +60 psi line. You just can't pump it down any more than that.
