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.
Hi,
I become ready with cutting my new science video. I post it here so I doesn´t have to open a new topic.
I made it specially for spudgun fans from Canada, Great Britain , USA and Germany. I hope you like it. The action is how to safe the environmet on an alternative way in that you destroy "old" freezers. The performer spudgun you see a short time i used two calibre 25mm and 35mm.
not bad, i guess im gonna have to break out my bullets with the steel core and make some new video, still thats a lot more impressive than these other guys shooting through 3/4" pliwood. very good job!
yeah i agree!! this is very impressive. Powerfull, loud, not so big, but, i would like some more infos!! could you please tell us a bit more a bout it?
Air tank? Materials? valve? ammos?
The chamber is made from a Co2 fire extingusher. As ammo I use Baby batteries or Mono Batteries. Baby batteries have an higher Power you see it in the video when tehey go trough the freezer.
The spudgun is build very simple.
Here some old pictures.
A few hundred meters. I never check this exactly out but I think 300- 400m with baby batteries.
I use a propan/butan burner like you have when you solder copper tubes.
That mixed the Propan/Butan with air and you have a perfect explosive micture everytime !
i see that on the picture of the extiinguisher one, you used teflon tape for the threads...Do not do that with combustion. when burnt, teflon transforms into cyanide, which you know is lethal.
The performer spudgun you see a short time i used two calibre 25mm and 35mm.
