high performance LP pneumatic systems

i have heard that having a high flow rate is a good was to get a oota system but how cna this be achieved?

also, is there any other ways to increase the power?

i'm not going over this again :roll: :lame:

i cant help i lost the pm and forgot to save the info on my comp :lol:

I've never dabbled in pneumatics before, but I picked up a half-complete low pressure system at the weekend and have just spent about an hour or so reading through old threads and website links and found/learned quite a bit of stuff.
All the information you need to know is contained within this forum, specifically within the 'Featherweights' section, even more specifically within the first five pages of threads. It doesn't require much effort to find answers to such questions.

^ what he said... That's why I wasn't specific in answering your questions when you sent me those pm's... Build the robot, mount the pneumatic cylinder in the robot, then worry about what valves your going to use to fire it... In the mean time do some research for your self.

thanks for the words and putting up with me guys :lol:

ill have a look through the forum first, should have though of that earlier

Surface of piston, stroke, pressure and flow combined with leverage and geometry make the power of a pneumatic system.

In Low pressure systems everything needs to be maximized, as pressure is limited.

FP can be designed less efficient because the much higher pressure used. Less efficient means simpler, and that fits right in the KISS enviroment of Combat Robots.

its not what i can afford, its more if i can jump in and get enough info and risk the dangers of HP

If a FP setup and a LP setop have the same power, they are equaly dangerous.

its mainly the pressure which ive been told to look into first
