Hi,
Great site and Forum, really good knowledge.
My understanding of Pneumatics is pretty basic, but as part of my project to build a decent weapon for a heavy weight i thought i would prototype it first. I'm looking to build a forceful spike type weapon.
So to increase my knowledge I have purchased a few basic bits:
1) 16mm Bore 100mm Stroke 1.0Mpa Pneumatic Cylinder
-> Amazon Link
2) DC 12V 2 Position 5 Way G1/8" Outlet Pneumatic Electromagnetic Solenoid Valve
-> Amazon Link
3) Pneumatic Quick Fitting 6mm to 6mm Push In Speed Controller
-> Amazon Link
4) 49.2Ft 6mm x 4mm Pneumatic Air Hose
-> Amazon Link
5) 10 Pcs 1/8" PT Male Thread 6mm Push In Joint
-> Amazon Link
Now, from videos and articles i have looked at, i'm hoping these components will work together and get this working on a small scale and increase my understanding.
My questions:
1) Based on what i have purchased, does it seem like a viable small scale solution?
2) Regarding the compressed co2 to power this, what should i be buying? I've struggled in this area understanding what i need to buy.
3) Any recommended websites for purchasing Pneumatic parts?
Thanks for your time in advance, any help would be much appreciated.
Marcel
