ok, I'll try it, and i'll use a pneumatic.
Which reminds me, i'm thinking of doing it so that all rockets are connected to the same nozzle. Can a single pneumatic support 20-30 rockets at 100 psi?

DYI,
Even 5 rockets? How many rockets do you think would be needed to propel it?
Oh, and i cant wait to see your design for the flash steam rocket!

Ok, one more time... I DONT want to make some sort of flash-steam monster super rocket thingy. I DO want to make something like this. Now, usually these types of water rockets are launched off of a stand on the ground, but i was thinking of using them to obtain something like, 500 times less powerfu...

I know that i could find the info about the water rockets on google, but the point is, im trying to figure out which valve to use.

Holy Jeezcats Batman!!! :dog: Sorry, i dont think i explained this very well, i wasnt planning on spending thousands on one of those things, i was thinking more like, umm... 2 liter bottles and schrader valves to bring them up to pressur? :oops: I'm fairly light so i thought that i might be able to ...

Hi, I was looking to make something like this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDDI5h8JQE0 But im not sure which type of valve to use. I was thinking of using a pneumatic, but i'm not sure if they work with water. Oh, and i was also wondering if you could hook up multiple pneumatics to a single blowg...

oh,
sorry, i have no electrical xp.
It was all theoretical, and apparently, incorrect.

Has anyone used these as ammo?
I have some from an old Magnetix set. They're apparently steel. I cant seem to find them anywhere else on the interwebs.

You would also have to figure out a way to load it... and what to load it with

Welcome to spudfiles!

I'm not sure if i want to build it just yet, i'm still trying to decide whether i should build a pneumatic bolt-action, or a semi auto(also with a solenoid)
I was just putting this idea out there.

I'm goin' to OSH to get me a sprinkler valve.

Hi! I was just thinking that if you took a 24 volt capacitor, hooked it up to a 9 volt battery, and hooked that assembly up to a solenoid valve and a switch, it would lead to a breakthrough in bbmg technology! In my head it works like this, when the circuits are all closed, the battery continuosly c...

I didn't know where this topic fit so i just put it here :) So, I was reading JSR's post about blow forward breeches , and I saw a proof of concept vid made in interactive physics. It looked like the bb was being pushed by air pressure, but when i looked on interactive physic's website, there was no...

I was watching the Military channel, and i think one of the original armalite m16's had an automatic blowback system that worked like this, you might want to do some digging around on google patent search.

I'm so lame!
I cheated on like 11-13 and now im stuck on 14!!
I have the one that says "o rly?"
Help plz!
