Sounds very interesting but one thing to check would be the flow
rates, you could get some very high pressures with a big pneumatic
cylinder driving a very small "syringe" but you wouldn't get much
flow. So I guess the question would be can they produced the desired
pressures when there is a small opening in the system (the nozzle).
