Ok, i've been wondering this for a long time.. how fast can the cyclone actually go, does it end at 15 bps, and if so can i modify it to make it go faster. |

| I've hard that after you get much higher than 15, the balls will bounce off the rapidly spinning "blades" and will start chopping. |

It actually tops out at around 17.3 or some odd decimal like that.

| why the hell u wana make it go faster? u dont plan to actually pull the trigger 15 times a second do you? 10 maybie, even 12 but 15??? i dono... id rather not risk chopping paintballs, and go with th 15 balls per second. talking to priate i guess wount hurt tho... |

I still say slap a QEV on there and it will run faster. The major limitation of the cyclone is the fact that it is spring return. At rapid fire so much air will be getting fed into the cylinder that it cant exhaust fast enough to spring return (the stars turn on the cylinder retracting, not extending) -------------

I still like the Warp feed system idea I had on an A-5 by ditching the
cyclone all together. Im sure someone else thought of it too and Im not
taking credit.

that seems like such an easy fix Tippman could just engineer it the other way, or a company could make a kit or something ------------- Can't sleep forums will eat me |

Tippmann.......... is useless.... I hat to say it but, they don't care is the way I feel since Simmit partners showed up, and especially since they're not making the e-grip... -------------

talked to tippmann...cyclone caps for reliability at 15 bps. with the new was board installed in an e-grip, a test was done and results were at 17 bps, cyclone was doing just fine. after he hit 19 bps, it starts missing and then chopping bad. that was with a stock cyclone with no attpemt of modding it. now the Vulcan, for those of you who know what that is (the greats A-5 and no, its not yours) shoots much faster than 19 bps and does it flawlessly. i think its in the 25 bps range and accurate. and yes it has its own name. its modifiey somehow. only two people know how. the former owner and creator, and the man he gave it to. ------------- www.pbteamwow.com |

Heck I'm up to 4bps, I wait for the shot instead of painting up some bunker. Unless I am keeping players down then I paint. -------------

I have the RT on my A and the Cyclone has no problem keeping up.
All I need to know is if it's "fast enough" and it definitely is, with tons of reliability....and no bateries. What's a QEV? |

Quick Exhaust Valve, allows the air in a cylinder to exhaust directly at the input port. http://www.clippard.com/store/display_details.asp?sku=MEV-2 - http://www.clippard.com/store/display_details.asp?sku=MEV-2 Or part number MEV-2-NP for nickel plated. -------------

Very interesting! I'm no designer, but it seems do-able, and better.
Thanks for the quick reply! |

gee thanks.... that really answers the main question. Set up the cyclone with its own solenoid, regulator, and double action ram and you can really get the speed up. Thats another one of my projects I gave up on. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site
