Introduction To Pneumatic Props And Accessories...
posted by SkeleTony
I’ve never really wanted to delve into the realm of pneumatic props because it’s always seemed like such a difficult process. Well, Mortarlover123 (aka TangoAlphaCharlie1) seems to think that it’s a pretty easy endeavor, and after watching his tutorial on the basics, I think I’m inclined to agree. His tutorial only really covers some basic concepts, but it’s more than what I need to feel confident enough to make the leap into this realm of prop making. Let’s face it, sometimes a wiper motor isn’t going to give you the push you need for your props, and a pneumatic solution may be what you need. If that’s the case, this tutorial might be the answer if you’re on the fence about getting into pneumatic props. http://youtu.be/qtmpYSzprO8 Shop These Materials on Amazon 1/4" NPT Solenoid Valve DC12V 5-Way Double-Acting Pneumatic Air Cylinder 40mm x 100mm 1/4" OD Push-to-Connect Pneumatic Fittings Kit 40-Piece Affiliate Disclosure: HauntersList.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.
