 HOLY!.... Swiss!... Cheese!
I think this will make the entire spudfiles community jealous.
Great job, Nice finish.

Although I was brought up with english, it's still fascinating all the possibilities it has, it's also one of the least literal languages, which I derive a lot of fun from.
Innuendo is near impossible in Latin (the dead one) without already knowing english.
Anyway hybridwise, I don't think I've commented here, so many props to Larda if he sees this. Otherwise everything I'd say has been said. |

| Completely and utterly amazed by this hybrid. Very nice work. Machining, everything. Great Job. |

Yes, it certainly is a fantastic piece of engineering and craftsmanship. Rather unfortunate is the fact that in the 3+ years since HyGaC20 was built, we've only had one or two launchers posted on the site that even begin to approach this level of innovation, performance and overall impressiveness. |

It does looks great, great performance and impressiveness, but I thought it uses a burst disc right  ? If thatīs the case I donīt think itīs innovative, BUT impressive for sure! |

Prior to the debut of HyGaC20, the highest attempted hybrid mix had been 20X. This launcher exceeded that mark by an order of magnitude.
If you don't consider such a feat to be innovation, I think you have a rather unusual definition of the term. |

| I saw that 190 mix, yes itīs impressive but there isnīt technical innovations, just material sorry I REALLY DONīT want to offend anybody |

Innovations present in HyGaC20:
1. New holder capable of using brass plates as rupture diaphragms (and capable of sealing them perfectly, and without a consumable sealing face).
2. Design of a "sparkplug" capable of holding a fine wire such that it ignites almost the entire chamber volume at once when heated with a low voltage source, and which can seal against ~20kpsi... repeatedly.
3. Sealing fuel lines with high pressure, steel-steel sealing face needle valves, owing to the discovery that no exposed, traditional sealing face material could survive the firing process more than a few times.
4. Design of saboted darts which can survive 20kpsi base pressure.
*note that these aren't world firsts but they are, so far as I can tell, Spudfiles firsts
It may not have a fancy new type of valve, but this hobby isn't all valves and auto-loaders. HyGaC20 is one of the most innovative launchers ever posted here. |
