world's smallest?
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2006 6:03 pm
as soon as I get some electrical tape and source of ignition, I am going to make a combustion out of a renu eye drop bottle(0.27 ounces, I think about 1 inch by 1 inch) and the inside tube of a mechanical pencil(0.125(1/8) of an inch(although it is a little less than a half mm bigger on the other side) by 4 inches) Do you think this is the smallest cannin in the world? anyone know of a smaller one?
I will try to get some pics next to some comparisons(coins and other common things) in the next month
my calculations must be way off, I got like a 20:1 C:B ratio
Edit: *cannon, not cannin*
Edit: I got it to fire once, it I never saw the ammo, then it quit sparking, so I got some screws, they were way to big, and didnt work either, so now i have a few big holes in it, I am going to try to put a few layers of electrical tape very tightly around the whole thing, then look for some smaller electrodes (I think thats what you call them) for the spark, and see if they work, if it leaks to much, I am going to switch to a chapstick tube wich is about 2.5 inches by 0.5 inch.
