the idea came up in a intro to robotics class I'm teaching with my robotics team, we noticed a lot of the energy was being lost due to the fact that the compressed air flowing into the cilindar was at a constant rate, causing rotary movement of the cilindar and other forces. if you could start out gradually but then increase the air flow into the piston then you should be able to increase the pressure over time so that the vibration and rotary movement is minimized right?
