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 the air?
Has somebody tried air tanks with non-fixed volume, such as a balloon? Maybe
the pressure/force will not drop as fast as with a fixed-volume tank?
