Thank you sir for posting this. It's great you listed all the parts needed. I'm going to build them to store balls for this winter!

As the air filters into the balls the pressure in the tank will drop, so for best results you should top off the tank every couple of days. Going over about 25 psi may cause some balls to collapse and they will not be filled, so starting with 25 psi for the first few days and then working up will reduce this problem. If you listen you can hear balls collapsing providing your compressor is not too noisy. If any balls collapse drop the pressure to zero and start over and don't go as high for a few days, then work up. Some brands of balls respond better than others. Occasionally balls left too long at high pressure will become super-bouncers and bounce higher than new balls, but they calm down pretty quickly as they are used.

Hi Eddie, thank you so much for both videos on this topic.

HI Eddie, this is a brilliant video. Thank you for making it. The detail is fantastic - right down to links for all the right parts. I put my orders in and can't wait to get started :)

I was wondering if you were able to put this together, and if you did how well it worked? I'm thinking about doing it myself too

Thank you for your sharing. could you also post a video to show how good the bounce of the tennis balls after they got pressurized ?

Did it work? I tried to see a second video but I couldn’t find!

This is great info! Thanks!

Thanks for the video and the results video too, it is a very good experiment. I wonder what if I just used my car spare tyre and inserted the balls inside to do the same exactly, what do you think? Thanks again

Thanks for doing this video!!! Great idea to prevent more junk in the landfill. I am going to build this because we go through 75 balls every 3 weeks. Wondering if you tested this at a higher pressure to see if it takes less time to re-pressurize the balls? So they don't have to sit there for 2 weeks? I hear the commercial unit does the job much faster. I'm not familiar with tolerance of these tanks, valves or seals. I will be soon.

Thank you so very much

Hi Eddie, I love the video and would like to use it for a school project. Can you give me permission to use this configuration? Is it intellectually part of the public domain? Thank you for your time.

Thanks! Would an air compressor be more suited to pressurizing this contraption?

Love the video, I bought the compression valve and the MFL connector but was unable to get the valve to snap into the connector using a vise. Would you be able to make a tutorial video showing how to do that?

love the video. 2:15 "but i could only fit my left arm in..." b/c my right forearm is so BIG!! hahaha.

you should only add around 12-15 psi, or the ball will be too hard, I usally pump my canister to around 20psi then leave it for 6 weeks or more, some balls take even longer! Depends on the make, usally they re-inflate at the same rate/time it took them to deflate. Nice kit you made.

What is the recommended pressure for keeping/refreshing the (nearly) new balls, i.e. after couple weeks of play? 30-32 is good for repressurizing old balls, but probably too much for the new balls?

I am in the process of making my pressuriser. I have received my keg. I have ordered a barbed disconnect. I have a schrader valve off a bicycle tyre. I am going to join the valve to the disconnect with a 5mm wide tube and secure both ends with hose clamps.

hi, ¿what would be the difference with a ball lock soda keg ? can be done the same way any way?

Thank you for the lovely video. A quick question: I assume that the old balls have the same pressure as our atmosphere as you placed them inside the kegs. After you initially set the pressure to 30 PSI, did you have to put more air inside the keg later since the keg's internal pressure was reduced by the increase of pressure inside the balls?

@olavhgasen8123

Жыл бұрын

Good point

After re presurizing the balls, will they stay pressurized week later being in the tube?

I'm wondering, would I be able to use a bike pump to get up to 32 psi?

Why wouldn't you use a female to female copper part to reduce the schrader into the mfl connector? Do we know the size of the mfl connector diameter?

would this would with a ball lock keg?

Since the balls take up a lot of the volume of the keg, and since the pressure in the balls is low at first, I'd have expected the pressure in the keg to drop over time as the compressed air seeped into the balls. It would have been nice to see the pressure in the kegs at the end of two weeks. I'd expect that if there were fewer balls in the keg and/or the keg was left for longer time then the balls might become overinflated.

Hello. I have built one similar, but it’s not working. The Balls don’t repressurize. How old could be the balls?

Is there a reason why you chose a pin lock over a ball lock keg?

Did you hear any balls collapsing when it was close to 30 psi?

Thanks for this! What is the difference between pin-lock and ball-lock?

The pin-lock uses a pin mechanize to lock and the ball-lock uses a ball mechanism to lock.

Awesome video man! Quick question though…when pressurizing the chamber, I noticed that I’m hearing and feeling “popping” inside (at around 30 PSI). Are the tennis balls bursting? 😲 The balls are about a year old.

if the balls are too low pressure, then you need to start with 20psi for 2 or 3 weeks. Otherwise they will implode...
