[@user-uv3sb6zf8z]

This one fine art of mechanics! I'm working on pneumatic paddle shifts for Formula Student and this is the simplest yet most informative pneumatic cylinder video I've ever seen! Thank you for the video

[@saminsiddiquee2059]

Very clearly explained. Very inclusive. Job well done Sir!

[@nascarsimracing1]

Thank you!!! This helped me clear up alot of things I've wondered about pneumatic cylinders!! I plan to setup a pneumatic cylinder to raise and lower a snowplow for a restomod garden tractor i have as a project!!!

[@mike4802]

Thank you very much for this demonstration. Much appreciated. May you be well and happy.

[@danielde6865]

Freaking amazing quality video explained very well. SUBBED!

[@HopeIsAlliGot]

So 1st video of today from which I learned something 😀. Great electronic controller

[@jaishetty8586]

I thought I knew everything about pneumatics until he showed that PicoBoo one controller. That is freakin cool. I want one.

[@NickonWheelz]

I have been looking for a way to actuate a hydraulic clutch master cylinder in a Honda track car forever now because I am disabled. This just opened up a world of possibilities for me.

[@joeestes8114]

Awesome video! Straight to the point and i subscribed too!

Superb video,thanks

[@derricktriumph4233]

Simple and intuitive

[@SparkySINN]

GREAT EXPLANATION!

[@johannbach1903]

Cool information, for my application I'll need a little more control of the stroke movement & speed so I'll go with a linear actuator/servo instead.

[@frooke2]

Rad video, well done, thanks

Nice video

[@SirJLobster]

now you can make your own animatronic at home

[@kiranshashiny]

1. How do you take out the pipe from the air line - at 5:07, 2. I see that you just snapped into the socket, Is it enough to see that the fit is tight, Don't you have to wind it etc ? 3. What type of a compressor did you use ?

[@sophies674]

Thank you

[@TimothyMTran706]

Good for a Motion Simulator Theater Ride theme.

[@yusufmirza1757]

I love it 👍

[@engineerali6694]

This is helpful video but plzz make a video that will show clearly how to program the module.

[@pedrollaudesgarcia8488]

Good afternoon, thank you for this video, it was really clear and great. -I wanted to ask if speakers could be plugged somehow so we get a sound synchronized with the movement? -You explain that a trigger can be added, like a button or a motion sensor, would there be a possibility to add something to achieve a loop movement? -On the green area that connects the controller with the cylinoid I see there's more than 2 screws, I was wondering if more cylinoids could be connected to the controller evern if they do the movements at the same time? Thank you. Pedro Llaudes

[@FrightProps]

Hi Pedro, Using a controller with audio would allow you to add sound. Something like a PicoBoo MP3 would work well: www.frightprops.com/picoboo-mp3.html Creating a looping animation can again be done with the controller. Some controllers, like a PicoBoo MP3 allow for what we call "ambient animation," which is animation that repeats indefinitely when ever the unit is powered on and not being triggered. On less advanced controllers you can do what is called "looping the trigger input," which simply means bridging the trigger terminal connections with a piece of wire so that the unit is always being triggered, and therefor always playing its programmed animation, when it is powered on The controller demonstrated in this video has a single solid state output so it is best used to control only one low voltage device. Other more advanced controllers have multiple outputs which can be used to control many solenoids or other electronics. Hope that helps! Scott FrightProps

[@headsdownharry]

@@FrightProps can you use the peekaboo 1 for multiple cylinder and do I need a flow control for it?

[@cornellocabatino9325]

thanks

[@Enchantedmusicandmore]

Can you hook up a valve bank to this? How many movements can you program? How long can you record sound?

[@easyeeks]

Hello. Thanks for the video. Can you get a solenoid to control 4 pneumatic cylinders at once?

[@jerlynjoyfrancisco6015]

Imma use this

[@locovidepro]

I am new on this topic and would like to learn more about it. How would you control the speed pushing in and retracting air?

[@davidbui1151]

What is the problem with my solenoid when I turn on the power switch the solenoid making humming sound and it did not work, but when I turn off the power switch, I could make the piston moves by pushing the little test button on the solenoid? Thanks!

[@collindisney3009]

What would be the ideal setup to generate the highest amount of force fast and instantaneous?

[@michealgabriel1437]

All this is super cool.... I have a question tho.. i'd be glad if i get a reply.... Is it possible to write a custom program and attach some other devices to the controller.

[@inityo]

I'd like to control the amount of liquid that gets pimped out of a pneumatic filling machine Would this help decide that.

[@FNAF_red]

Hello, great tutorial I’m just wondering where does the right cord go? At 6:26

[@broccolihart1]

Thank you so much for this video...I can build my lemon smasher now.

[@jiancarloferrer292]

Is it possible to connect to a hydraulic monoshock system with 12v hydraulic pump?

[@GeneSavage]

Excellent video. I'm wanting something to JIGGLE-JIGGLE-JIGGLE a garage door, just three quick bursts maybe every 45 seconds... create the jump scare, reset for the next victim... I MEAN, visitor. 🙂 Would it be possible for me to #1 somehow attach the piston to my garage door and #2 get a short enough stroke that it doesn't punch a hole THROUGH the garage door? Is there an easier / cheaper way for me to get the garage door to rattle every so often, short of a physical person out in the garage? I'm not used to doing DIY stuff so I may be missing the obvious or reinventing the wheel.

[@IMTIYAZNABIMASOODI]

Great I want to use same thing in car jack.How can we connect this system in that.Where can I find these all things I am from India.how much will all this cost.Where from you used Air pressure in it?

[@manchette4840]

For valve What's the difference between 3way 2 position and 5way 2 position?

[@cherylm2C6671]

I had no idea! Do I understand correctly that the controller can be discretely 'trained' to fire a pattern? What is the limit on the number of patterns? Can different patterns be selected within the device, or is a further control necessary? Thank you so much for your demonstration video! It's a look ahead, as I am still learning manual control design.

[@sekutsnek8443]

Does the selenoid valve can conect directly to normal onoff switch & 12v without using controller.

[@gearadochief8111]

Can you help me to make pneumatic press for extracting coconut milk

[@sunilsaxena620]

U have similar system for hydraulic cylinders?

[@vsvj7249]

Does sequence working continuously or one time?

[@We1hrm0cht]

😊thanks

[@sorinciolovic9391]

Hello, what is the type or make of the controller you used, please? Thank you very much.

[@stevenstockman8600]

How could I control the cycles of a cylinder? Like a router switch or rheostat is what I mean.

[@sharzanco]

I heard you said it can activate it with motion sensor . I request you if you can make that practical please

[@dmalikat]

I want to use a pneumatic piston that will retract when 1 once of pressure is removed. How would I go about doing that? Also, would I have to use the electrical panel to do that. Wouldn’t the pressure gauge be enough? BTW, great video. Your content is the only that I found that breaks down the mechanics and the screws and fixtures. Thank you!!

[@shaggyballs-nh7ei]

Can you set that program to repeat

[@marcuspopl]

Question i never knew about the picoboo controller so is this compatible with paddle shifters

[@ryanbyrnez710]

Do I absolutely need the picoboo controller ? I’m looking to make a prop electric chair so I need something that makes the dummy looks like it’s being electrocuted shaking back and forth

[@AndrewTheHoff]

What should I use as a controller if I want to do 8-12 individual outputs?

[@yoannlecourtois2723]

Hello, Very Nice video. Thx. Do you put teflon on the muflers too?

[@kellyanderson995]

You can, and it will avoid additional noise from a leak around the muffler.

[@susilo8812]

Why it don't use flow controller, or air cushion ?

[@TechsScience]

Where is it used?

[@Jai_Lopez]

what about slowing down its actuation during the sensor triggering the peekaboo controller ?

[@ROXAS-fq7lq]

Now we can all make chairs that knock us off once sat on.

[@dinzzz0000]

i see what you did there

[@KermitMC]

do you sell controllers that can handle more then just one cylinder? if so please let me know

[@aidenp265]

I can’t access the open the file for using the cylinders easy code to find the brackets for a 9/16” bore cylinder.

[@lyttlecombatrobots4939]

What about connecting the actuator to a RC receiver?

[@sunilsurya7065]

What is the cost of that compressor please provide link

[@matthewgriffin4599]

How fast can the picoboo make the pneumatic cylinder open and close repetitively? Trying to invent a new power tool with it lol

[@E85_STI]

How many lbs of force does this produce? I would like to build one for pressing my rockets.

[@kellyanderson995]

That depends primarily on two things. The pounds per square inch from the regulator, and the diameter of the piston. Bigger diameter pistons press harder, smaller diameter pistons press with less power. If there is a pinching hazard, it's a good idea to use smaller diameter pistons.

[@Theshowbizpizzafan56]

is there anyway to run multiple cylinders with this setup?

[@mahmoudAbdelrhman87]

what should i do to contrlo the distance?

[@verkauf9310]

Hi where can I purchase these kits?

[@vicentearellano948]

Fun fact: this is actually used in the Reverse Bear Trap in “SAW”

[@noahhelland3244]

how? i wanna see that

[@shawnxie9244]

Do these cylinders have to be either fully extended or retracted or can they be anywhere in between?

[@arneanka4633]

You can depending on your application. You will need another type of valve and some means of controlling the timing of the valve. It's not very exact and needs some fiddling to make it work. You also need to slow down the cylinder.

[@World-Superbike]

What is the cost of that peekaboo one please?

[@brentvonaschen7064]

I need input on a larger air cyl employed to tilt a pick up bed

[@houseofdoom]

How Much weight can it lift?

[@k9taxi]

Would one of these pneumatic cylinders produce enough force to smash a walnut?

[@mads811]

What kind of air compressor should be used with this kit?

[@kellyanderson995]

nearly any air compressor would do unless you are repeating the movement so fast that you would exhaust air too quickly for a little compressor to keep up.

[@justroofcricket]

Would you please write the names of all parts you used in this video

[@dryone1632]

Would the pressure be equal to the amount of PSI, i would like to use this to clamp down a piece of aluminum that i would then pierce would this be strong enough to avoid movements ?

[@kellyanderson995]

Try it, and if it doesn't work, replace it with a larger diameter piston until you get the desired hold down strength. Trying to figure it out ahead of time is pretty difficult as it depends on a rather large number of parameters, like what kind of end will you put on the shaft, what's pushing on the aluminum, what PSI you use (as you guessed) and so forth.

[@supremeleader5516]

good tutorial but where it is used?

[@nizamismailpaklong3533]

Hai can i ask you one quection,is this pneumatic cilinder if i replaced oil not air if can?thank you..

[@rock-afire-fan]

pneumatic cylidners are not meant for oil. if you compress oil in a pneumatic cylinder it will explode and you can be seriously injured or killed that way.

[@chanakyasinha8046]

@@rock-afire-fan😅😅😅🤣

[@jdossas23]

So the retracting air line A is always allowing air flow is that correct.

[@davec.3198]

No. In this case with a DA (double acting cylinder) the pressure is applied at the bottom tube to extend the cylinder and air has to come out the top port for the cylinder to extend. When the command is given to retract, the exact opposite happens. Air is applied to the top of the cylinder and air is pushed out the bottom port.

[@shitheadjohnson2797]

thankyou, i would have liked to see u just hook 12v up to it uncooked (without the programmer) tho.
