... and if it doesn't work, you can hold it by the barrel and hammer your target to a pulp! Much more deserving of the "Mjölnir" moniker :) Honestly when I first looked at that I thought he was suggesting that we should abandon high muzzle energy experiments and just use sledgehammers to bash our t...

I did some research a while ago and I found that those "bladeless" fans as you call them are infamous for creating ozone and if they do that, I imagine they also produce all sorts of oxides of nitrogen. So if you're okay with that... that's probably your answer.

That's a generalized type of reaction, metal + acid -> hydrogen + metal(conjugate base of the acid).

You're making a hydrogen-oxygen combustion, but using a system that only produces oxygen?

Naw, not sputtering (though that would make this far more interesting). This thread of little import anymore, but it had to to with the oxide layer that forms on aluminium under normal atmospheric conditions.

Seconded. I could do the same. Though the utility of two pianists recording separately... meh.

If you can get a hold of a section of this stuff, you'll have most of the work of making a barrel support done for you already. Even steel antenna towers are fairly light for their size. Those are usually used to support tomato plants, you can probably find some at a local gardening center. Only pr...

Why would you look specifically for an electronic sprinkler valve? A mechanically piloted one will probably be slightly better.

Winter has finally arrived. Here in the southwest, the daytime temps have dropped into the low 90's. The northeast, where I am, got a lot of snow. Trees that still had leaves on them were breaking or falling down all over. We lost power for most of the day, friends back home (I'm at uni) say the po...

I thought it was great as is. It has an old jazzy feel to it that I like and seems like it was recorded a long time ago and that adds to its character. Well done Brian. If you guys want something more "powerful" just listen to some screaming death metal, crank your speakers and in the middle of the...

I'm pretty sure this is what I have, my computer actually doesn't have a sound card as it turns out, just the onboard Realtek chip. So... does it suck? I know nothing of these things.

I think the SpudFiles theme song needs more powerchords, pick harmonics and high-speed percussion. Very well done though, I commend you. EDIT: And since you seem to know something about recording on a laptop, do you have any idea how to prevent the buzzing that occurs when I try to record something ...

Flatline barrels have a curve in them, designed to create a hopup-like effect, and generate a flat trajectory. I just read the wikipedia article.
