Crowley's First Co-ax - Update

[MrCrowley]

I meant 'damn' because I wont be able to used the car to go and get stuff for my hybrid and i'll have to wait another week before working on it.

Oh and I leave for Sydney Monday, and the concert is Tuesday. I come back Sunday. I've been to Sydney loads of times and don't need to spent 4 days pissing about there do nothing when I have a 6 day weekend at school

That's right, we get Thursday, Friday, Sat, Sun, Mon and Tuesday off school, though i'll be away for the first four days.

And JSR before you go off about the Pilot Volume, there is next to none. The piston is housed in about 6cm of 20mm PVC that's sleeved in the metal chamber. The PVC extends back into the reducer, giving the piston about 7mm to travel. The rest of the pilot volume is taken up by some rubber which doubles as a bumper.

I have no complaints, nicely done now rack up that pressure

Nice coax crowley
It looks clean and most of all: very sturdy.
How much pressure do you expect it can handle?

Crank up the pressure as much as you can and impress us with some real results

Thanks, not sure actually. Hopefully atleast 250psi.

man that looks great. i was thinking you could put a brass 90 onto that gauge so it won't block your sights. also i was wondering where you get a handle like that? thanks

[Jared Haehnel]

My thoughts exactly!
But that reverse blowgun might become a problem.Better use a ballvalve when you do.

Nice clean launcher.

Looks really nice now bump up the dam pressure

[MrCrowley]

Thanks for all the comments guys

And yeah, a high pressure pump is on it's way....

Haha yeah i'm waiting to get some batteries for my digital camera. I'll take a video too.

I got a relatively tight grouping at about 10m, so it's fairly accurate.

Also i'm only running it at just over 105psi until I make a high pressure pump, so that'll have to do for now.

Yeah, it's a 1979 National turntable.
I've had it for about a month

You can see it in this thread:

I had problems with the pre-amp, but it's getting sorted out.

MrC; I really like the appearance of that coaxial.
How about a 2" barrel version now that you have coaxials down?

Thanks, but that would require me to go 3" or 4" chamber wise, which would set me back probably $500NZD

I pay about $30USD for a 4" pressure rated fitting here

man that looks great. i was thinking you could put a brass 90 onto that gauge so it won't block your sights. also i was wondering where you get a handle like that? thanks

I don't live in America, so I couldn't tell you where. The ones I see are usually blue.
If you can't find one, try a spray paint blow gun, they sell them separate sometimes.

I can't seem to find many 1/8" fittings in NZ, usually they're just adapters, i've never seen a 1/8" elbow. But if I do, i'll definitely move the gauge.

@BtB
Yeah it's rating is probably only 90psi, and I doubt it's more sturdy then the common blowgun, i'll just have to wait and see.

I think Chaos used one at 200psi+, I can't remember, it just rings a bell.


Edit:
Oh and since I have to depress the blowgun to let the chamber fill, I drilled a hole in the blowgun grip and made a horse shoe shaped bit of metal which slides into the hole and over the trigger to keep it depressed.

That's for when I get around to building a high pressure pump, I can just lock the trigger in place.

Update damage pics....

These shots were done at 90psi, from 5m's away. I used Jib-Board as a backstop because we have loads lying round and the bb's are easy too dig out. Above 90psi they just blow holes in the damn thing and I loose them



I don't think it's too bad considering I have a 2" gauge in my face when aiming
