jr_9950 asked:


We would like to begin building a high-psi pneumatic air cannon for tennis ball launching. Because of the high psi levels (500psi), we would like to have a remote connected by wire to activate the burst valve. We will also be pressurizing by remote line feed as well so we are at a safe distance in case of rupture.

What type of valve should I look for at the hardware store to do this with, and what sort of electronic means could actuate this valve effectively on 12v power?
