As hybrids aren't really my thing, thought I'd run this by the board first - any reason why this design shouldn't work? Any tips and advice appreciated

I suppose this will work well enough:FeLeX wrote:Looks good to me but wouldn't it be hard fueling it since its such a small chamber?

especially with a shrader valve. when you disconnect some air will leak out, messing with your mix. i don't know hybrids either, but i thought i would just point that out.FeLeX wrote:Looks good to me but wouldn't it be hard fueling it since its such a small chamber?

Not in my case - I added o-rings to my shock pump so when you thread it onto the schrader, it doesn't actually open the stem, the air leaks in thanks to the pressure difference.homedepotpro wrote:when you disconnect some air will leak out, messing with your mix.
I was thinking of injecting through the barrel end just as you would with a combustion, closing it quickly with the burst disc then bringing it up to pressure with the schrader.You would have to make an adapter wouldn't you?
This isn't the first time I've tried something like this, here's a similar previous effort on spudtech, I just thought I'd give it another go.

Not too keen on using oxygen at this point.

it looks great jack
i love the spark gap means less hole sin your chamber
oh and making a adapter to the schradar valve shouldn't be hard.
good luck with it jack cant wait to see it

I calculate it'll take two epoxy "sessions" so a couple of daysexperament-u2 wrote:good luck with it jack cant wait to see it
This is a bit of cartridge test, I'm trying to get an idea of power levels to see if it's worth the expense of getting some machining work done professionally.

Hey,
I like your use of BRASS for a barrel. Finally someone saw the light Brass is as easy to machine and to braze as copper, it weighs a little less and it is much harder and stiffer.
Aluminum would be nice too, but there is the problem of joining it to other things; either you need fancy welding equipment, or you have to take chances with glue.

I always use brass for airsoft barrels but aluminium would actually be a better idea for the hypothetical cartridge body, a lighter cartridge will lessen stresses on the breech mechanism and be less likely to damage itself when it hits the ground. I don't believe I'd be "taking my chances" with glue, it's pretty strong stuff.

What mix will you take it to? And I like the way you use the schrader as part of the ignitor, ingenuity at work.
