Ok so i measured some more its ACTUALLY 17.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide (diameter) so can someone tell me what 3% would be in ml. I have propane and butane in my garage.

And if i meter it right by simply waiting a few mins allowing it to mix will cause the projectile to fly much further??

Firing problems HELP!

Hey guys so i built my first cannon its 4 inch combustion with 3 inch barrel. a BBQ grill sparker and a PVC screw back pretty basic. i tried metering propane and butane multiple times with all failures. the dimensions of the combustion chamber are 16" tall 4" wide so pie radius squared times 16 is 2...
