Re: Potential Energy stored in a pneumatic ram

We did something simmilar in 2008, where our catapult was held down by a pneumatic latch. We then charged the cylinder powering the catapult with 60 psi, and when we wanted to fire, we essentialy pulled the pin. This worked quite well and we were able to fire the ball over the overpass easily.
