[stevenarroyo]

am planing on making a new bigger air cannon with 2 3inch 3 foot chambers and am going to use 2 of the orbits 1 inch sprinkler valve, i know to make 1 of them work u need to use 3 9volt battery. but what about if u have 2 of them do you need 6 battery's or well the 3 battery work on the 2 valves?

What is the operating voltage?

3x 9 volts = 27 volts?

EDIT: Operating voltage is 24 volts, So 3x 9-Volt batteries should work fine.

And to operate both Valves, just have them both hooked up to the 3 batteries.

So, no you don't need 6, just 3. (THINK!)



But it is highly recommended that you mod them, It makes it much faster!

Man....deja vu.....

3 - 9 v in series for 27v, connect the 2 sprinkler solenoids in parallel.

star man

thats what i was think of doing

connecting the battery's (3) in series and the the sprinklers in parallel

but do you think it can open the sprinklers? thats the part i don't know?

[DrowningTrout]

Yes, It should.

Thats what I was trying to say.

Yes, it will work fine. The solenoids trigger fairly briefly on a spudgun shot, so you should be good for quite a while with 3 fresh batteries.

[stevenarroyo]

all right thats good

thanks everyone for helping me

i well be starting to make my new master big air cannon maybe this week or next weekend
