CO2 Pressure requirements

[drgrcr1156]

How have you regulated the CO2 pressure for multiple devices?

Throttle stop requires 90 PSI
Air shifter requires 100-125 PSI
Air Launcher parachute requires 150PSI

You don't have to be too particular, I use a 100psi regulator for the stop and the shifter. Maybe just have another for the chute? Biondo has nice fixed regulators, just use two and tee them?

My shifter and throttle stop work fine @80psi. If you use 100psi, I Would suggest that if you increase the diameter of the chute launcher cylinder that they all would would work fine at the same pressure. I think a 50 percent increase in area (not the diameter) of the cylinder/piston should do the trick. For example, if your launcher has a 3/4" cylinder operating @ 150psi it makes 60 lbs of force, if you use a larger 7/8" cylinder you can make the same 60lbs of force @ 100psi. Obviously the stroke needs to stay the same.
A new cylinder would be less expensive and complicated than another regulator.
