I made just about the same meter Starman posted. It's a badass system. I unfortunately don't have a regulator on mine, but i did install the gauge on the meter pipe so all I have to do is open the valve and shut it off when my desired pressure is reached. It takes a little more time to meter than ha...

It all depends on how compact you want your cannon. That's a question that only you can answer.

Dude if you are in the US just go to ACE hardware and get some 1/4 inch or whatever size you want and they'll have all the flared fittings reducers couplers whatever you need and a flaring tool as well. that way you can completely make your own for your custom needs.

as ramses was saying you would need a centrifugal clutch in order to start it since i doubt you're gonna wanna rig up a clutch and a transmission for it. since the ratio changes due to acceleration you'll need to figure that into your gear ratio. you'll find this on CVT's on 4 wheelers.

since you said it's all one pipe and there will be no reducers, i'm going to insist you get a coupler for whatever diameter pipe you are using, and using a dremel tool or something similar, remove the ridge in the middle of the coupler and slide it to whatever position you want the sparker to be and...

Two questions. Why do you want them in two 4 foot lengths? and Do you want the connection permanent or detachable? If you want a permanent connection a normal coupling would work just fine to connect them together. For a detachable connection I think cam locks would be too heavy for a mid barrel att...

If you put a "T" inline before the injector and put a check valve for say 39 psi to the return line going to the tank would work I've got access to a steel tubing machine for fuel lines I could start to work on the fuel injection system and if someone thinks of a better way to do the electrics let m...
