Re: pre-charged Pneumatics
hey all
Just have some questions about a latex tube + 1.5" bore cylinder kicker...
we have protoyped it and it seems like a nice and easy mechanism. However it only gets about 10' @ 50psi. we are using a peice of angle alum. to hit the ball, and its doesnt look promising. we found the falcon guys demo video, and it looks very similar, but no where near there results. what can we do to precharge or help a fast release. we have a gate latch, fresh latex tubing, bearing mounts... doesnt seem very active.
any thoughts are appreciated.
