Thread: Ebay Score AKA what would you build with this?

Tweet

I got this cylinder off ebay for 46 bucks. Been trying to think of a prop to build with it. A Jumper comes to mind right now What would you build with it?
Piston size 3" Stroke 56"

That is going to take a lot of air to push it fast!

Lift that Jeep off the ground!!!
Make a possesed Monster Truck. You WILL need a HUGE tank of air to make it go fast.
Or you could moving something real slow and a long way....like a creeping giant spider...or walking zombie.
Is that a second port I see on the top section?...it might be dual action.

Jeez....First thought was...You Got a jeep for $46....

I have no idea on what to use with it...Not a pnuematic man...


Ruggerz

dam thts HUGE! like the ones they use in backhoes. well not really. idk what to do with that cuz its so big! good luck

You could send it to me and I could put it to good use. I have the perfect idea for next Halloween that I have been thinking about, and this would be perfect for it.

I tried it using my 60gal 5hp compressor. Full 120psi, it scared me the first time how fast.

Yes it is dual action with adjustable air bumpers. I was thinking like a 16 foot jumper like scarefactory but wondering whether its too big for such.

hmmm the possibilities! You could do a spike wall. think star wars. but my best idea is for a prop I want to do its a tree witch with the tree( body) starting at about 8' shooting up with this cyl to almost 14' wanna double your money? lol

That would make one helluva cylinder for a 4 bar set up!!

What about a hanging gaint monster, like the hangman ?

A huge MIB, or a jack in the box on steroids? Great snag by the way. There is a formula used to find out what pressure will lift or move what weight. I think you can find it at Grainger or maybe Festo can help you.
