Cylinder Evaluation

5" special cylinders are $500 for one with a rod sticking out 3":
Is it an option to use 2 cylinders, if they can be mounted effectively? It could make sense if we CNC cut mounting plates as needed.

Same cylinder as before
Pump all power into large cylinder upon large cylinder motion
Calculations based on CEB Press v17.08 Calculations, which show 1.52 gallons per cycle.
- We get 7.1 block per minute.
In case of 16 hp engine, this works. Add more power, and we have:

77 cu in per cycle for small cylinder. Running on 10.6 gpm, we get 32 cycles per minute or 1.9 seconds for a cycle.
For 352 cu in per cycle for large cylinder, we get 7.0 cycles per minute, or 8.6 seconds per cycle.
all together we have 10.5 seconds per cycle, or 5.7 block per minute.
