I'm working on a pneumatics project, which requires me to blast high pressure air through a set of solenoids. The problem I'm having is controlling the air pressure. The bottle of compressed air comes with around 2000 psi when full. I found out through trial and error that my solenoids refuse...

heres one i thought was a cool idea

yeah, trial and error until i get it where it needs to be

well, its not really a solenoid valve in the general sense... its an electronic fuel injector figured id just call it a solenoid, because i didnt want to get into detail about the actual project

speed is going to remain a constant, at least at this stage of the project...so no need to worry about changes in pulse width i was hoping to keep things as simple as possible, seeing as how my knowledge of circuitry is very limited...if possible i wanted the pickup, whether it be a reed or...

awsome, exactly what I was looking for...thank you did some quick searching around, it appears that most of the reed contacts are for alarm system applications which are not intended to be cycled quickly...im worried i may wear one of those door and window switches out with just a few minutes...

Im working on a bit of a science project, my knowledge of electronics is limited...for this project i need some type of pickup on a rotating object to connect a circuit to open a solenoid valve whenever the object is at a given point on its rotation...and it has to fast enough to do this a few...
