Assuming that pressure pulses in TPT can be considered "sound", the speed of TPT sound is about 3.2 pixels per frame. I made some pistons going at this speed and then some slower ones to illustrate the difference, at 2 and 1 p/f. Use pressure display!

    You could have used 2 instead of one, or just protons. Then you can actually get the exact speed (The effect might be harder to see though)

    The pistons broke. You might want to fix it with this. ID:1781715 It doesn't break as easily.
