yeah im in a town with a bunch of up tight people who bitch and moan about everything that gets in the way of their soap opera. i dont think getting caught with a suppressor is worth it. thx guys!

ohhh ok that explains more. soory for this stupid post then

well i live in were silencers are illegal for GUNS,but im not sure about spudguns. thats why im asking. maybe someone has had a silenced spudgun before and could tell me if its legal or not

hi again im just wondering as im making plans to upgrade my recently made spudgun if silencers are legal on spudguns. it would make sense so because spudguns arent considered guns,but im just wondering because it may still be illegal.

technicly yeah, but id just be measuring how much i put in

lol thats why alcohol was out in the first place. also i could use a perfume thing but i dont really want to use a spray and pray like that. i was thinking of more of using a syringe with check valves with a tiny nozzle.

lol no problem. plus....

as wikipedia quotes:
"It is unsuited as a fuel in alcohol stoves because of the relatively low vapor pressure of isopropyl alcohol, and because the water content will vaporize to steam creating excessive pressure in the stove."

im digging the excessive pressure part

lol yeah i retired recently, as i am only just old enough to be here at the site,one times messing with alcohol on my fingers and hand sanitizer in the sink, i accidently placed the lighter over the alcohol bottle and a rather strong whistling flame popped out. i nearly soiled myself :shock: yeah, a...

cool. plus i have some personal experience in burning alcohol(im a retired pyromaniac ) and alcohol evaporates fairly well in the right settings. we did a test in school and it evaporated rather fast. plus thx for the answers guys, i have a good feeling my next cannon will run on alcohol. 8)

i can understand that as it enters the chamber id need to atomize it, i was guessing with maybe a chamber fan, but is that idea viable? that my big question.

hi, i was just wondering, is alcohol a usable fuel? i shot my first spud gun today, it was using static guard and as i was filling the chamber with the spray, i wondered, "it would be so much easier to use a liquid!" so it is possible? or is it too weak/strong?

hey totally random right here, but is it really possible to use a marx generator and if so could all the little sparks gaps be used in the chamber? even though they'd be closer it would make a fairly amazing ignition.

its a basic one, but i plan on making a more advanced one soon.
also, for a spark couldnt you just hook up a capacitor to a little transformer if you were going to make a spark strip or so?

the best shape i know of is called the sears hackbody, which looks like a cigar with pointed tips on each end. its best for areas around the super sonic speeds but i think its should be ok. somthing simpler though, golfballs

thx guys next time i get the chance ill go to the store and get a bbq ignitor. cheers!
