My first spudgun ever =p *updated pics

Boom! The classic potato gun harnesses the combustion of flammable vapor. Show us your combustion spud gun and discuss fuels, ratios, safety, ignition systems, tools, and more.

what do you think about the flyswatter-igniter?

hey sjog

all you need to know is in the pictures 8)

the flyswatter costed me about 3 dollars i guess and as paaiyan sad, a little more voltage and there you go :wink:

all you need are the chips inside the flyswatter, a couple cables and a working brain :D


btw. i tried to put 18V on it... but it didn`t work out to well. it zapped just once and made a weird RRRRR sound :lol: , so i 9V it was. works perfectly and is definitively cheaper then stun, lasts for a long time (depends how you treat it) and its 100% legal. 8)


the flyswatter used was something similiar to this:

Thanks for the come back on that.
That is a great idea. Stuns are cool but not dependable.
I will keep an eye out for the swatter.

Jokke Himself: This is the first I've heard of using an electric flyswatter in this application. A how-to is in order and maybe even a wiki page.

Edit: You said you put 18V through it and it did not work as well? Were the two batteries (assuming you used two 9Vs) ran parallel or in series?

hi again

i tryed both parallel and series, but no matter what i did it din`t work out as i expected. so 9V is the "ultima" on the flyswatter(atleast the one i got) :wink:


gotta catch a meeting now!
ill maybe post a "how-to" later

see ya guys! :D

well... here it is :D

the flyswatter-igniter how-to thing =p


might help out and make people easily understand what is done(atleast i hope so).
so what do you guys think about the how-to this far? :D


and hubb, would you like to make a wiki of this for me? I dont have to much time at the computer. As long as you give Joakim "Jokke" Holmberg (me) a little credit it would be great! :wink:

and sjog. I do not have any link to the flyswatter i used. it was bought at a local store. It is a rechargeable 3v flyswatter. so if you find something similiar to that, im pretty sure they dont differ much :wink:

I've seen them at Wal-Mart, for those of you who want one. Pretty much any store that has a decent section for patio accessories and such.
