I had an idea to build an air cannon like one youd find at many effects shops, only smaller. I found a 5 gal 135 psi tank and a sprinkler valve and thought these would work fine.
I even made a nifty remote to flip the valve
But when I finished all the soldering, filled it with my compressor to very low psi (about 5), plugged it in and flipped the switch, it just acted as a VERY loud airhorn. So that ones back on the drawing board. The soldering connections were very poor due to a faulty soldering iron (not my soldering skills of course ; )) and the value definitely wasn't opening fully and instantly.
