Pictures? Sounds like a good deal....Hotwired wrote:I've got an expansion chamber for the pilot exhaust on my cannon which is the hollow grip of 22mm copper pipe (under all the plastic) and then there's a small 3-4mm hole in an endcap at the base (also under the plastic) that the expansion chamber vents from after that.
Something like that filled with steel wool should work perfectly and would be a less resilient material for a pilot blast of 400psi to smack into.
BTW, what i DID do once with a lower-pressure pneumatic is calculate the volume of air inside the pilot chamber, and then have a bottle on the back that was exactly that volume (meaning able to hold the number of moles of air in the pilot at 100 PSI as the same air at STP (did that all make sense?) It worked really nicely, besides the fact it was HUGE.
Ill look into it (goes down into basement Lair)
