(...) Isn't the force generated by the pneumatics directly proportional to the air pressure, which in turn directly proportional to the amount of air in the tank? So the larger the tank is, the longer you can sustain the force during the bleeding of (...) (21 years ago, 27-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I've found that when pumping the large hand pumps by hand, you can create such pressure surges that hoses pop off. Compressors made of motors and pumps can't create such surge pressures, so the tanks don't help much. Kevin (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)

What is the best method for getting air to pneumatic systems? Should I use one or more blue storage tanks, a larger, custom made tank, or no air tanks at all? I am fairly new to using pneumatics, so I am very much curious to find the best method. (...) (21 years ago, 25-Oct-03, to lugnet.technic)
