My fridge compressor :D UPDATED WITH PICS
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2009 12:31 pm
Hey guys, I was on my bike in the woods where I came across a dumped fridge Luckily I had a bag on my back and with my knife, I managed to wrench the pump free from the housing. To cut the pipes I just bent them till they crimped and worked them back and forth until they broke. I did let out what was left of the freon gas but I was doing no worse than it being dumped in the woods.
First thought "Woah, this thing is damn heavy!" got it home and connected the wires, purred like a kitten. ATM to connect the pump to my launcher, I just pushed a male quick connect into the pipe (Through the small hole in the tip of the quick connect), through some 5800 psi rated hydraulic hose and to a female quick connect.
I know that using the compressor without a gauge and proper way to connect the pipe to fittings is pretty dangerous BUT I have a 41 BAR gauge and the proper fittings coming tomorow
BTW my gun has a
1m 22mm copper chamber
1.3m 15mm copper barrel
3/4" QEV
Blowgun pilot
All metal I plan on using it up to 500psi MAX but like 300-400 normally.
UPDATE: Just shot through the 2" part of a 2x6 with the 7.1g ball bearing at 400 psi
The Cannon
The ball bearing
Entry (the two in the centre of the pic)
Exit
With a homemade "Dart" at 200 psi
And now the fridge pump
What do you guys think? any target suggestions to show the power of a 500 psi shot or to guve to WOW factor
