Re: Version 2 of the H2 O2 cannon

Nice! Im sure the sound is really awesome, have you tied using a muzzle brake just for looks? once i tried to do an oxy-hydrogen spudgun with a 600ml soda bottle just for fun, i used a 1/2 PVC pipe as barrel and it shooted airsof bbs like a shotgun, i never measured the speed but it did good dents i...

Re: Version 2 of the H2 O2 cannon

Impressive! 25mm ball bearing weighting 63gr at 240m/s is 1790J :shock: also that muzzle flash is really cool. do you have some damage pictures? it would be nice to see some carnage, bet you could launch a frozen spud at supersonic speeds. I read in your other post that you are using KOH as electrol...

Re: Cannon for launching fishing bait

OMFG! The prices are ludicrous its almost an insult! a 7ft barrel for $100, a spudgun with a lame ball valve a Chinese compressor and a mold for the bait $999 and they patented it :evil: . Good thing you have brains and decided to learn and make your own, a combustion will be the easiest but probabl...

Re: H2 + O2 burning cannon

Hi everyone just wondering if any of you have some info on the burn rate of hydrogen oxygen mix (as produced from water), it is supposed to be 1000 times petrol ? Well 1000 times the flame speed of a petrol-oxygen sounds like a detonation, hydrogen has a really fast burning rate, under certain cond...

Electric launchers PDF vault

I read is not allowed to post "endless topic treads" so i think this theme will compensate and be more useful for everyone instead of asking what music you like. After some time searching papers regarding research, patents or anything related to electric launchers i collected some papers, and knowin...

What music do you listen?

Well edit again as i need to be fair and i will take my punishment for creating such tread. What music do you like to listen? i've seen a preference for rock here on SP. These are some of my favorite songs [youtube]https://youtu.be/kOrSOIw_aAQ[/youtube] [youtube]https://youtu.be/nDWZKrJwPEc[/youtube...

Re: Short question topic

This occurred me but i don't know if it works i'm gonna test this right now. If the anodizing isn't too thick, you could prepare a weak NaCl solution and do some electrolysis, just connect the aluminium to be de-anodized to the anode, and a stainless steel electrode to the cathode and use 12 to 30v ...

Re: Stage1 - 120X CLGG

I think the easiest to do is to build a light tight enclosure to contain the chrony something like this https://drscdn.500px.org/photo/114446721/m%3D900/9c25bdfe7043ccdfb34a7aabc12063fc I have read a little about the risks of DDT on gaseous mixtures, but still i think the dangerousness of hydrogen i...

Re: A post for DYI

Your pre- machine tools ETG certainly works better than mine did! The craters have different aspect ratios because you were using heavier BBs, but I'd say this works just as well as my last pure ET gun did (before I introduced the aluminum fuel). I also suspect that the finer grade of aluminum powd...

Re: A post for DYI

Mainly just build materials and drawings/CAD of the "plasma chamber" as you call it. Vimeo seems good. I stopped using YouTube recently due to the growing acceptance of HTML5 video (webm) and the ability to host video on my own website without overly complicated non-free solutions like jwplayer/flo...
