Re: Pneumatics Math
I apologize for my unit error. I was using 144 cu in in 1 cu foot which is off by a factor of 12. My orginal post has been edited to reflect the proper values.

You could definitely try using 30 psi to extend the piston which using my calculations would reduce the total time to 4.1 seconds. To do this you would need to have two regulators which (check the rules on this) could feed into the same valve.

If you have the weight you can also try using a much smaller cylinder to extend the larger cylinder.
