(...) Steve, A very interesting set of questions and logic. I don't know the answer, but can add insights that are related. As the available volume/pressure increases, the pistons expand and contract faster. I don't know if there is a linear (...) (20 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Here's an important question. What will be the limiting factor in how fast this beast can move? Is it: A) Travel time for the pneumatic cylinders or B) Volume of air available? I'm under the impression it will be limited by the volume of air (...) (20 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yeah, air tanks on a compressor are really only useful when you're using short bursts of more air than the compressor can keep up with (so you need a reservoir to draw from to keep pressure up through each burst) or you're using way less than (...) (20 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I was assuming that the model would use whatever air pressure it was given, unless the state machine was shut off. Given the volume of air that it will take to make the circuit progress, an air tank won't hold enough air to help. Based on this (...) (20 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) One thing I noticed is that the example pump someone showed earlier has both output lines joined into one T connector, to make a single output line. If airflow is a problem, then wouldn't it be better to keep them separate, with two or more (...) (20 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I think Kevin has the right idea with racking up a whole bunch of pumps on the same motor. If everything pumps into one air tank anyways, you're going to be restricted to what can go through a single nipple, but there's no reason why you can't (...)

(...) Airflow is what causes this. The two pumps both hook up to the same size hoses with the same size nipples, but an identical length of stroke on the larger pump is pushing quite a bit more air than the small pump. There's a limit to how fast (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.technic)
