First combustion(Bouncy Ball-zooka!)
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 9:07 pm
Hello SpudFiles!
This is my third cannon and I'm in about my 5th month of spudding. My other two cannons are pneumatics. The first was a compact single sprinkler valve cannon and the second has three sprinkler valves in parallel. Well I just had to do a combustion next!
I thought I should start somewhat small to get my feet wet. I also added some cosmetic parts for effect. I was going for the bazooka/rocket launcher look. I will likely come up with a better mount for the propane bottle than the zip ties. I just happen to have some that fit.
Specs...
Overall length: 47.5"
Chamber: 10" of 2" sch 40
Barrel: 24" of 1' sch 40
C/B ratio: 1.7/1 ( because I wanted It to be loud :bom: )
Ignition: Electric barbecue igniter
Fuel: Metered propane
Chamber fan: will be added if I can find one that fits 2" sch 40
Well what do you think? Tips? Complaints? Ideas?
