Thanks mr crowley!
I get myself some coaxial cable.
Here's what i made. I epoxied the cables inside a 1/2" fitting. If the moments comed to replace the cables or something I can replace it easy.
Cable:
1/2" fitting:
My manometers arrived yesterday!
More to come!

I've fully epoxied the cables that are inside the chamber.
The air was leaking through the wires.
Now the problem is solved.

looking good there
I hope you know that the copper barrel isn't very strong, MrCrowley had a failure with his barrel.
Maybe you can sleeve it in something to strengthen it.

That would be the same as calling yourself bulletproof because you're behind a steel plate
900th!

Yup, the small dent was caused by a projectile in a sabot. Make sure to check your barrel regularly and don't fire multiple small projectiles unless they are in a sabot which will survive intact inside the barrel.airpress wrote:Wasn't there a small dent in the barrel when the accident happenend?

First of all. I've demounted the propane pressure regulator because I want it detachable.
I made a simple wooden stand. Maybe I will chance it. Not sure yet.
The used wood is Oak.
Cannon in "ground" paint
Cannon in first layer
I will put a second layer on it, maybe three. Then a clearcoat.
color is metallic deep grey or something.

have you tested it ? you know if you have to tweak or fix something you'll have to paint it againI will put a second layer on it, maybe three. Then a clearcoat.

Yep, everything is tested!
I use a O ring to seal the burstdisk against the union.
I need to do a little bit more tweaking about the propane pressure versus 1 bar of air and 2 bar of air, and so on...
The 2 weeks coming I have not much time so the updating may go downhills. No panic, I will finish this cannon!!!!!!
