Noob to combustion
Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:51 pm
Hi everyone. I am currently in the process of building my first combustion spudgun. This will not be my first cannon however as I have built a .50 cal air cannon in the past. I have a few questions i want to get answered before i put it all together. Here are the parts I have:
5 feet of 2" pvc pipe
5 feet of 4 inch pvc pipe
4 inch to 2 inch reducer
4 inch cleanout cap and plug
lantern lighter
1. What is the best chamber to barrel ratio for a 2 inch barrel using spray deodorant (old spice or right guard) as a fuel?
2. My 2" pipe doesnt fit perfectly into my reducer (not toght but not loose either, kind of semi-snug) will this be okay when I pvc cement it together?
3. What length barrel do you suggest I use ? I was thinking 3 to 4 feet.
4. Where should I mount the lantern lighter?
Any help you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!
