I was on the same plane as 365 returning from Atlanta to Philadelphia last year. The whole rear half of the plane was neon green. - Lil' Lavery [more]

I share in ttldomination's confusion. It looks like you're using the compressed air in the cylinder as the stored energy. What's missing is the device that compresses the cylinder, releasing it when you want to fire.

Has anyone considered using a small bore cylinder (and thus fast extension) to push a lever near its fulcrum? Or would the small cylinder be unable to provide the "oomph" necessary?
