Naw man, its entertaining. 8)

Is it sad that I come to this site for the drama more so than the cannons lately?

Yeah, I'll rip out and redo the spark strip... I am dissapointed.

i'll let ya all know if it works... and if it does I will still keep my promise with the videos and damage pictures and whatknot...

Propane. According to my calculations I should be using my meter at 40.6 PSI. When it does fire (like 1 out of 100 clicks) it packs a punch, it doesn't sound like a shot with too much or too little fuel. I have also tried experimenting as low as 20 PSI and as much as 70 PSI and every where in ...

So I went to shoot it today. Ran into problems...

It fires maybe 1 out of 100 times. I know it cant be a metering problem. I have done the math over and over and am sure I am putting the right about of fuel in. When it does fire it packs a really big punch.

When I look in the chamber I can see the ...

Right, I'll get some close up pictures of that area.

When I make my videos this weekened, I'll be sure to show off how it works too.

Its been a long time since I have posted on this forum. I recently got my tax return and decided it was time to start building again :twisted: .
I made this advanced compustion with all the bells and whistles I could manage. It has:

Haha, in all seriousness though, I think a spray combustion is kinda out of the question since dog chewing on aresol can = bad. A metered propane setup is a lot easier than you may think. It is a lot more portable than ...

I bought this bad mamma jamma a short while ago.

Not the most quality set, but for the price I see no problems using em on pvc, which I will.

wonderful carving job mate!

Oh BBQ sparkers work great. I have used one on a launcher with 3 spark gaps and had no problems. I actually replaced my stun gun with the sparker because I was tired of changing batteries.

Love the cannon and that monster ball valve vent is kickass.

Do I see 2 spark gaps there? Thats a nice little upgrade from the average first spray and pray cannon. I also like the ball valve to speed up the fueling. Adding a fan would make more of a difference than you might think, though it looks like that would involve a hack saw.
