yo yo im really interested in cannons cut it short i just need directions how to make somert simple so i can progress from there any thing would help cheers for reading :D

from spudshot: ok dude, welcome to the forums, dont double post, and dont spell like this is AIM, in my opininon if you need plans you shouldnt be building cannons, but i'll cut you some slack, just look around the forums and see different ways people have done things, and get your own ideas from them, ask questions about safety, or how something works if you need to, but do some research first, alot of questions can be answered by just looking at previous posts.

theres a very simply combustion cannon plan on this forum, just look around, i'll give u a hint, its in the official combustions page, shouldnt be hard to find considering u should have already visited it before asking that question. :D

any, r u in to combudtion? or pneumatics? choose the right pastic too, start safe. think of the money also. the best proven b:c ratio is 1.5:1(aka c:b 0.75:1) by volume for a combustion

salad, b:c ratio? wtf? 1.5:1 C:B ratio is best for aerosols and .7:1 is best for propane, i dont know what you were trying to say

what kinda of pressure are you going to be dealing with if its under 125 stick with the larger propane tank but if ur a man in the high pressure biz id go with the 02 tank because those handle a hell of a lot of psi
