    How does a cascade system work?

    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.

      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.

            Good to know that somone of Tom's status seeks "relief" from a sport he helped create. A sport now ruled by a single patent.

              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.
