I am going to try a pnumatic prop this year but im not sure how big of an air compressor to buy, Any suggestions?

Also the Air compressor i was looking at was this one.. http://www.lowes.com/pd_103500-43657-FP209599DI_0_?productId=1205535&Ntt=air+compresor& Ntk=i_products&pl=1&currentURL=/pl__0__s?Ntk=i_products$rpp=15$No=15$Ntt=air compresor$identifier=&spellCorrectedTerm=air compressor

Just remember what you hear all your life. "The bigger the better". If you plan on adding more pneumatics later in future haunts go for a larger tank.

Although you will be able to run a small prop of this tank don't expect much flexiblity. You can opt for a 7 gallon for around 3-4 props and add 5-10 gallon storage tanks down the line if you want more. I have a 7gallon and a 30gallon along with 5 in-line 5 gallon storage tanks. This runs 11 pneumatics flawless.

Thanks, now another question is, what is it that attaches to the compressor to make it shoot air when the sensor or button is triggerd?
do you have a refrence maybe? I hae looked uite a few websites but most of them was for more of the expirenced haunters if you now wht i mean.

Here's a vid I made last year for someone it may help

That solenoid is 120v. I use a picoboo105 which plugs into that. When you program the input on the picoboo then the solenoids relay turns on and off. This makes the cylinder move in and out. It's the easiest controller to use along with the nervecenter when starting out.
