Re: building an energy conserving pneumatic system
Use the smallest stroke and bore pistons you can get away with, actuate your pistons at the lowest possible pressure, and if you don't need a huge amount of force to return your pistons consider a second circuit at an even lower pressure to return them, or use spring-return pistons. Also, use tons of leak-check (soapy water) to make sure your system has as few leaks as possible! It is nearly impossible to have a system that's completely leak-free, however.
