I have successfully launched eggs out of a 2” barrel. I cut out a cup from the bottom of the egg carton for use as a sabot with some paper towel wadding behind it. The method was good up to approximately 50 psi.

I used the ceramic insulated electrode that came with the igniter. It is housed in the rear 1/4" connecting tube and was locked in place by filling the tube with J-B Weld.

The C:B ratio is not optimal. However, I wanted to keep the two tubes the same diameter and close in length to minimize the size.

Thank you all, for the positive feedback.

Copper Mini Combustion

Hello,

This is my first cannon posted. It is a copper mini combustion with 1/4" diameter barrel. Good for shooting q-tips around the house using map gas as a propellant.
