Re: air canon question... T-30 !!!! [TANKS]

Hey the Siggy,

I don't know about Chris or any other Aussies, I am using a 12volt compressor motor 
that 
draws about 4 amps, the refill time of my cannon is 9 seconds and it has never 
overheated. 
The pressure tank I use is steel piping with a 12volt air compressor pressure switch 
that 
turns the compressor on at anything under 80psi and stops at 80psi, it is fully 
adjustable 
and I have chronograph tested paint flying at about 350 feet per second when 
pressurised 
up to 100psi. I keep it to 80 which is sending paint at around 260fps. So far only 
tethered 
control until I find a new transmitter. Aircannons are bloody dangerous, I used to 
use pvc 
for a pressure chamber then blew the inside of a plywood tank chassis to bits, very 
glad it 
was in a wooden box. Hope this helps,
