Out of curiosity, anyone versed enough in fluid dynamics to explain why the BTV can use a 1:1 ratio with their setup. The diameter is virtually same 1", difference being piston displacement forces fluid out vs conventional cylinder with piston pushing fluid. Is the vacuum portion that much stronger or is it the displacement vs push that makes the difference. Has anyone tried adapting a conventional PB cylinder on the BTV vacuum?
