 | | Fluid inside Pneumatics —Sebastian Fernandez
|
| | | Hi everybody. I am into developing hydraulic suspension for my Technic Citroen DS project. Pneumatics are perfect as dampers, only that when I put pressure inside them they behave like springs-That's air's disadvantage, it compressess itself under (...)

However, this ruined the valves, and they have never functioned (...) (25 years ago, 4-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)
