Sort of an unscientific marketing study.
Do you think there would be a market for an electronically controlled automatic cascade fill system?
How much do you think such a system would be worth? (storage tanks and compressor not included)
If you answer greater than $2000 in the poll please say how much you think it would be worth in your reply.
The system would be set-up to monitor any number of storage tanks (modular and expandable) and would automatically open and close the required valves to fill a tank using the lowest pressure storage tank first and working up to the highest pressure tank.
To maximize safety, the system will meter the air flow so as to fill cylinders at the recomended rate and not perform instantaneous flash fills.
Optionally, a compressor could be added to the system to recharge one of the storage tanks while the others served duty for cascade filling.
Operation would consist of connecting the tank to be filled to a fill hose and pressing a button, completion of the fill would be indicated by LED illumination or simply a pressure guage.
