Electronic Valve for rocket Launcher?

Co2 runs about 750-800 psi depending on the temp. It's going to blow that valve without question. One thing to consider is manufactures rate their products way below what they can actually take. So you might be able to squeeze out another 100-300 psi out of that valve. Still a far cry from 800 psi which is what's going to be coming from the co2.

I'd be curious what people who are running regulators for these have their regs set at.

A lot of it has to do with the size of the dump chamber. If you have a 2in long x 1in diameter dump chamber and your wanting the projectile to go say 300 feet, your going to need some major pressure built up to hit that distance but with a larger dump chamber, you can also hit that same mark with less pressure.

I would start with a 12in. L x 1in D dump chamber and apply about 100 psi. See what your results are.

I'm 100% sure there's some formula to calculate all this but were men. We don't use instructions

Slap it together and tinker your ass off.

A sprinkler valves electronic solenoid is not as fast as a 1/4 inch manual trigger

The solenoid is designed to low voltage slow open the valve and prevent hammer in the sprinkler
