Thread: Halloween 2009 at the Lost Souls Cemetery

A few pictures from last year's haunt. I had three pneumatic props last year, and all three failed before sunset. I guess that means I need to do a lot more testing this year.

Great display! I like the lighting a lot. Nice job on the caged character too!

Holy Megapixel Batman!!!!

Great haunt!!!!

What caused them to fail? I keep having trouble w/ pneumatics too. Some insight would be great.

Great detail, looks like you have created an awsome enviroment for your props. What type of controller are you using for your pneumatics?

I'm not sure what caused two of the three failures. A tiny nut came off the zombie in the cage prop just as the sun was setting on Halloween. The zombie shook the bars until the arm of the pneumatic cylinder came loose when the nut came off. I couldn't find the nut and I didn't have another one.

The failure of the other two props seemed to be related to the power supplies and solenoid. They would work for awhile, and then quit. I kept swaping them out, but they kept dying. I think the amps/volts are correct, but I have to play around with them to figure out the issue.

What's the problem you keep having?

Great photos! I can tell you put some time in your setup. Very nicely done!
