Someone asked me this today, and I found I couldn't answer them and it's been bugging me all day. Give details if you can.

What is a cascade system?

It's the system they use to fill HPA tanks and scuba tanks, I think it takes a regular air compressor (which runs at like 130 to 160psi I think) and compresses the air to 3000 or 4500psi. Other than that i really don't know.

A cascade system is just a bunch of tanks linked together to draw air off all of them at once, so the pressure drops less over the course of many fills.

Boy was I off. Any place to buy cascade systems, or can I build one my self, I've got 6 scubas (most of em were free, had an uncle who was a scuba diver, but he had to quit and he gave 4 to me, I already had two) and it would be nice to fill off of all of them at once.
