A better PNEUMATIC switch for high current experiments

Keep your projects on track with @Odoo, your first application is free for life: https://www.odoo.com/r/S7Q I designed and built a high current switch to survive thousands of amps, but I needed a way to open it reliably, repeatedly, and remotely. Maybe a pneumatic cylinder and solenoid valve could work. Join me on an engineering adventure to solve this 4-thousand amp problem. 00:00 intro 01:30 the concept 02:45 air horn tom foolery 03:38 machining 05:45 assembly 08:02 the test setup 10:00 high current testing 12:34 rail glinear motor 15:00 2 gauge wire
