SpudFiles

A couple weeks from now I'm giving a presentation on Vera. As part of the presentation I want to have a slide that has some pictures of spud guns so that I can discuss basic concept(s) of operation. Thus, I am asking for:

1) A high resolution photo of a reasonably simple spud gun of each primary type:
- Combustion
- Pneumatic
- Hybrid

2) Permission to use said pic.

maybe a large pvc pneumatic?

You could use any of my pics but I won't even put any up cuz I have crap resolution... I need a better camera...

Well this is caveman simple... a spring actuated ball valve



It just looks good :glasses1:
Not finished yet tough, the stock still looks like crap after switching to a metal air tank.

Basic sprinkler valve cannon:

Me thinks you misunderstand the word "simple."

post larda's hybrid (with permission of course) and also take a look Here for some prime examples of great cannons

So you would like a spray and pray combustion, a ball valve pneumatic and a (metal/PVC) hybrid? Though metal hybrids are far more common, perhaps it is better to go with PVC because they are usually much larger and perhaps better looking.

I can name a few large metal hybrids if you need them though (SpudFarm's, Killjoy's, DYI's, Larda's for example).

Sgort87 has a nice looking PVC hybrid, i'm sure there are more on the Spudtech archives that you might remember.

I think it would be best if you PM'd them rather than waiting for them to contact you.

You can use any pic from my cannons in the showcase if you want them.

Feel free to use any of mine.

I feel this one is a simple sprinkler valve


here is a simple piston valve

Here's a picture of the 2" gun I was working on in 2008. It wasn't yet finished when it was stolen, and was thus unposted. There's one taken on a better angle which I can't seem to find right now...



30x oxygen/propane/nitrogen mix, 2" bore and porting, L72, chamber volume of roughly 6 litres. That's a 36" pipe wrench hanging off the barrel.

Permission granted for the QDV cannons. PM me a email address for both the photos and permission form. No charge or royalty requested.

I have photos of both the Marshmallow cannon and T shirt cannon. Originals are shot with a 2MP Cannon camera.

Some larger sample photos can be seen in the fourm on http://www.crazybuilders.com.

Thanks folks, I think I've got what I need (which was really nothing more than visuals to explain the concept of a hybrid).

@D_Hall. Since you got what you want, if you want this unlocked for further discussion shoot me a PM and I'll unlock it.
