Today I put together a circuit that I am going to use in my cannon. I used an ignition coil out of an old car, condensor, and 12 volt power source. After shocking the crap out of myself several times I got it set up right. When pressing and holding the firing button it sparks repeatedbly until you l...

I figured that out already. I got everything now except for the 6" pipe for the chamber.

I am still behind schedule on this cannon. I'm glad everyone has been opening up their stores so soon. I have everything except a definite circuitry set up and, of course, a 2" SCH-80 pipe for my golf ball barrel. I called place earlier that does stuff with oil wells and other high pressure stuff. I...

NO, he was touching metal on the weedeater and the pool had nothing to do with it. It was just serving as background.

I know this is off the subject but I just performed another thermite experiment. It was my best mixture yet.

I once tested a camera taser on a friend. He was weedeating around a pool and he was sweating. All these elements made it a very painful experience.

That is completely off the subject. I have made considerable progress with the igniter. Not only does it spark good, it made my whole arm go numb.

I didnt get SCH-80 fittings, I havent gotten any fittings.

Heck yes. I will probably have spent 150 dollars by the time I'm done with this thing. thanks for catching me on my spelling error.

That is a very Asphoric question. Yes, I live in Louisiana, missed school, and had plenty of time on my hands.

Louisiana. About 30 miles north of New Orleans.

This is just my only chance to work on a project like this. Otherwise I have to worry about school and what not. This is also the first cannon I have built in about a year. When I was out of school after the hurricane I had plenty of time.

Well, I'm more of a combustion guy. I also like it because it requires the design to be more complicated. It basically gives me something to do this holiday.

I got the SDR-21 but I still need to get the 2" SCH-80 because Dawsey didnt have it. Its going to be hard to get any time soon because of Christmas and all. I got the switches and the regulator and I also built the frame today, fits in my trailer nicely. I will get you the money anytime just let me ...

Thanks for the insight. I have not had problems with it though, yet. If I do have any problems with it I will probably go with a taser igniter.

This is a rough sketch of the next cannon i am working on. The drawing is not accurate, but it will hava a control panel and cup holders. It will have a 10 foot golf ball barrel and can also interchange to a 5 foot long 3" barrel. It will have a 6" chamber 15" long using metered propane. The stand w...
