I had to laugh when i saw you used the simple english wikipedia...But yes energy can be created in a nuclear reactor by fission and fussion. When you have two atoms of any kind they do not have energy besides maybe chemical potentual(sp?) but take hellium, a noble gas, un reactive to the most part,...

Scientists now know that matter can be made into energy through processes like nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. The law of conservation of energy has therefore been extended to become the Law of conservation of matter and energy.Adding salt to water will make hydro-power move faster. http://simpl...

We have no reference!!!

immagine if you scaled the entire universe to 10x its current size, and all its laws in accordance to that scale. Noone would know. likewise, if you shrank everything, and reduced the strength of the natural laws in accordance, noone would know. How do we know how large or small we are? With no refe...

I have never tuned a gun but I have owned 2 precision rifles (Beeman Kodiac & Beeman S1). So I have a little experience. I know manufacturers and distributers often offer upgrade main springs or even sometimes a gas spring upgrade. In your case, simply replacing the old spring with a new one of the ...

The thrill is what makes it exiting. Thats why I went straight for a big advanced combustion for my first cannon and am jumping up to a handheld hybrid of about the same size. Its going to be all 6061-t6 aluminum 3/16" min. thickness. It should absolutely not explode. But I still got the butterflies...

I was thinking bullet proof vest, wrap around safety goggles and a helmet. Probably thick leather gloves, a cup and some sort of wrist and arm protection...maybe chainmail, like those protective shark suits.

I think if your not confident in something you build you shouldnt actually shoot it. If you are nervous that its going to give or explode then you probably are doubting that you built it right. And if thats the case, it will probably blow. I designed it and am having if fabricated by professionals....

Getting a little nervous...

OK, so the aluminum for my new cannon showed up today at my doorstep, and then the reality of the project hit me...I am going to be holding a large hybrid in my hands. I feel nervous about it like I did when I made my combustion gun. I didn't know what to expect. I figure i'll just start out at regu...

Also, $8k for a serious tool in industry is chicken feed guys.... 8) Word. Imagine what kind of cannon you could make with 8k though! If I had 8k to poop out, i'd design something so sick it would just be totally retarded and unnecessary. So when I was choosing a material for my project, I thought ...

Making a do everything cannon without compromising anything at all has crossed my mind as well. It would be a challenge and would be sweet if it got pulled off.

Just saw this thing, and DAYUM! I was actually really suprised when I saw you holding that thing. This is probably a dumb question, but why do bigger cannons shoot farther? Is it just because the projectile is heavier? Velocity wouldn't be any faster than a smaller scale cannon would it?

wow. I hope aluminum doesn't weaken from shock loads. It shouldn't since they use it in bikes and stuff like that.
