Thread: cylinder & solenoid

Tweet

WOOHOO! I just got my cylinder and solenoid from ebay. Hooked it up to the compressure and they worked AWESOME. Now I just have to finishwelding up my coffin jumper mechanism tomorrow and watch the magic.

P.S This is my first real pneumatics. Good by PVC.

i know what you mean ive been starting mine mechanism and pnuematics with the hwlp of spinman1949... were building a pvc manechanism to pivot the prop foward! Good luck with your prop make sure to post vids and pics!

I ordered my pneumatics from FrightProps on Monday. 5 cylinders and solenoids. I'm very excited.
I spent the last month relearning computer programming (I'm a little rusty since I have not used it since college). I've got my input/output board functioning and ready for the pneumatics!!!

My neighor was so kind to let me borrow his 105 last halloween for my homemade pneumatics. It worked like a charm.

This year I am going to have to buy several controlers as I am adding several pneumatic props. I am using real pneumatic cylinders and solinoids this year(no more homemade PVC cylinders and sprinkler valves). I am also welding up steal for my mechinisms instead of PVC and wood. I LOVE THIS STUFF. I think I found my true calling. LOL!
