(...) One thing not represented in your calculations is time. Compressing one large pump takes more force than it takes to compress one small pump. With six small pumps seperated by 60 degress of phase. We can compress/expand six small pumps in the (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Ok, so my co-worker (with a degree in physics) said (after many calculations) that the Work is directly related to the Volume. Assuming 6 small pistons pump the same volume as 1 large piston, it will take the same amount of work. Keep in mind, (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

Often, at work on Friday afternoon, we have informal discussions about stuff completely unrelated to work. This morning, I stood up and looked over my cube walls (not hard, they're only 4 ft tall) and said I had a question. I didn't get much (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

Are you going to make sure that all your control logic is done with small pistons? That would seem to save a lot of air, and thus perhaps also speed the system up quite a bit. (20 years ago, 2-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Not necessarily. If they're compressing in a rotating series, your output at any given moment is much smaller than if they were going off all at the same time, and the more positions you can get in the series, the steadier your stream of (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)
