For hobby I'm working on a project that also involves creating a circuit for
activating CO2 cartridge. By activating I mean puncture of cartridge and
fill some stuff with CO2. My first approach was using valves, but because my
circuit needs to be very small and run on butteries I was forced to use
"mini" valves that run on 5V. After some online search all suitable valves I
found can only work with pressure with up to 10 BAR, which (I think) will
not work with CO2 cartridges.
Is there any other method to "electronically" puncture the cartridge using
only elements that run on butteries?
How about a small gearmotor that turns a screw with a puncturing pin
at the end? That should be reasonably cheap and easy to fabricate,
with a few machine tools (lathe, drill press, mill etc).
