Nice spirals... but WTF?
Is this intended to be an acctual projectile, or are you just playing with your raytracing engein and posting the results in the incorrect catogory? |

my dad's getting a new sony digital camera, i have the old one to play around with
thats 1/2" pvc you see there, with slug, springs, wings, and a camera filming down.
the springs helps with the impact, hoping it can save the camera, but since it's a big tall grass field, i am not fussed
yes, i am going to shoot a $200 camera out of my gun.
should be pretty fun to do

you should instead use it for a camera flash ignition |

yes i can do that, destroy the camera completely.
or i can do that and it will have a 90% chance of surviving, providing some kick ass video.
besides, camera flash ignition can be done with a cheap 1 time camera that costs 5 bucks |

| id say try it, i mean if you really want to destroy the camera....but try putting the camera in a clear bow, such as lexan (otterbox) its a brand of box that is crush proof, so you can pretty much run it over with a car...anyway, try that, that wasy you can reuse it over and over again. Be sure to post the video. |

i can safely say, the impact will be nothing
i have those wings to stop the camera from ever touching a flat surface
i was thinking more of a lunch box |

| The pvc WILL break on impact/landing. I suggest you use steel or copper pipe instead. |

i also plan to make weak sections just so they break somewhere i can live with
also a small parachute will help |

i'll test with a even crappier camera
but, the question is, how much acceleration can i expect? and how much is too bad for the hardware? |

Great idea ! Send it flying. It's going to make a great video. Hopefully more then 1.
Good luck, keep us posted. |
