Re: Cylinder Question

if you have multiple cyinders and the tank set up in the way you 1st explained you'll probably have dampened air flow because thats a lot of air going through one port. team 1086 has our pneumatic launcher (4 pistons) set up the 2nd way you explained. it gives us better air flow and we still get enough pressure to launch. if your usind 1 cylinder i dont think it'll matter.
