Removed Upon Personal Review

Here's a recent project i took on and has great useability with spud guns. Ive personally tested it out and the spark is LARGe enough to work well with combustions and hybrids. I currently don't have a functional writeup but the video is posted on metacafe. Here's some noteable information: What you...

Hey all,

Bringing up an older thread but ive got something. Just completed the project and video on how to make one are up on metacafe.

Its an instructional video so enjoy only about 5 minutes.



enjoy- and rate it high =)

What do you mean by the secondary transformer? And does anyone have an easy schematic to help cuz im SO lost its not even funny :S

Yea, I bought a Kodak camera and already have the circuit board out. The charger for the capacitor was hard to wire because it was three connections that had to go to one wire, and then a middle connecter (the push button wires like that). Im wiring in the toggle today or tomorrow probably with the ...

TurboSuper wrote: Yup, that sounds like it should work. The only danger is the current spike welding the switch closed, which is why the wiki reccomends using a more complicated setup involving an automotive relay. Personally, I've dumped a cap through a small push-button switch and it was fine. Ye...

Makes sense to me BigCrib, i jsut like the feel about having that push button and the l.e.d lighting. I did some researching and saw some pictures of some people wiring capacitors to discharge and came up with this. It is quite simple and doesnt need the complicated work as in the wiki. All you do i...

Ive tried but the only solution i have come up with is that i wire in the toggle switch so that it comes in the way of the positive lead from the capacitor. The negative lead will go straight to the connector out of teh box, while the positive lead from the capacitor will go to the toggle, and the o...

Hey there, Im currently working on a different ignition than the usual bbq ignitor and things like that. Ive taken apart a disposable camera and plan to use the circuit inside to create my spark. I wanted to make it a remote detonator kidn of feel so Ive enclosed the project into a project box to ho...

Well i got it working now. It seems i didnt line the screws up properly. The gap is small enough. when i touch the screws and sort of push them togetherr it works but otherwise it doesnt work. Any way to make this more consistent so i dont hafta stick my hand in the CC?

K so i just finished building my cannon, installed the ignition today but the glueing was all friday night. Everything for sure has cured and so today i finished it up. Upon installin the ignition (bbq ignitor) i saw there was no spark in the CC. 1) Took the screws out and checked if there would be ...

Whats the best method to spraypaint abs pipe? Does the light sanding need to be done too? I just dont like the look of the print on top of the black but want to add some other colors too. And i was thinking it may be better to spraypaint my pipe before drilling the holes for the ignition. A good ide...

for copper whats the best sealant? i know theres flux or something and then have to use propane torch to solder. I dont know much bout the whole copper construction but wana construct a pneumatic outta copper.

Whats the best way of getting the schrader valve into a piece of copper pipe? The same way with drilling? or do i need to apply anything to the valve so it holds then screw it in somehow?

k so after reading i still have question about the trigger system then. Is the trigger built onto the valve i choose to use or is it an add - on?
