Pneumatic cylinder as air spring
Just wondering if it's plausible to plug all valves of a cylinder and compress it for potential energy. By my calculations, a 2 inch bore cylinder should be capable of 90 pounds of force if compressed halfway.
It seems that it could be an alternative to spring loaded system, but are there any obvious downsides to this? I'm not very familiar with pneumatic components...
