Well as the title says it was a fail but it was a finished product do i will post it here.

i had just finished this little beast, so i filled it up with butane put the barrel on and me (not thinking pumps it up to just over 30psi) i used a shopping bag as a burst disk but it didnt break, it just blew the arse end of the chamber sending many little shards of plastic into my hand and my couch.

I'm afraid I must concur, you're not exactly a n00b chaos - surely you knew this was going to happen?

You're a pisser! I love the bit about natural selection! :bootyshake:

Chaos, you are smarter than that are you not?
I've already started on my hybrid and built a fuel meter, however i am not going to use it, i will use a syringe instead ( i don't want to have ugly meter hanging off the side of the nug.) All you need is a guage and a tire valve, and a perfect seal inside the chamber.
What will your capacity be?
Mine is approx 1.3 ltr ( thinks me needs a longer barrel !! )
At normal pressure she takes around 3 syringes and goes BOOOOOOM, I won't lie i'm a teensy bit scared of pumping 9 syringes and 30 psi into her guts!
I just have to find a blow off valve now and do some machining for the burst disc setup- She even has a chamber fan in! I wonder if that will exit on the first shot?! :twisted:

Peace

Do I hear a Darwin award? I think Scope is the only one who's gotten away with making a bottle ghybrid (ghybrid is a ghetto hybrid).

hey it was fun i must admit, it was just a test and possibly a bit overkill with the 3X and all but hey.

anyways ill do a few more tests and ill get started on my stainless hybrid
(300mm X 76.2mm X 2mm 304 stainless chamber) :twisted:

but first ill do a bit more experimenting and research.

what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger. (please dont take that seriously)
"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote

you know you are not an engineer if you have to remind yourself "left loosy righty tighty"
