End caps sometimes fit flush inside a coupler so you could try that.

Technician i'm interested in how you connected the HDPE to the drill press if the hole didn't go all the way through the piston?

Thanks for all the replies.

for B: buy a thread cutting tool to extend the thread of the bolt to the head. Then you use two nuts to fix the washer.
I have never used one before, are they hard to get the right pitch? I think i might go back to Bunnings and try find a bolt that already has threads ...

I am in the process of making a slightly tweaked version of sniper hero's hammer valve .

I have most parts but i have a few queries before fully assembling.

OK thanks guys.
Ok yeah that makes sense. I went ahead today and used the 1" sprinkler valve just to be safe. But now I can't get the piston to seal. :?
You might be having the same problem as me.

Also would an extra rubber seal on the seat help or probably just get blown off (with approx. 120 ...

I am having the same problem getting my piston to seal.
Does rounding the seat result in a better seal?

have you been able to find camlocks anywhere?

Very nice.
How long is your barrel?

There is a guy on Youtube by the name of MushiYoshi , and he has an assortment of combustion cannons. Here on SpudFiles, he goes by TheBuG, and he has written a "How-to" on one of his advanced combustions, which is here .


Thanks MountainousDew i have checked the video out and picked up some ...

Biopyro thanks for the advice on the ratio's; I'm thinking of using a 90cm barrel with a 40cm chamber as i cannot getting any pressure rated pipe larger than 50mm at my local hardware store.

I'm not too sure what a cigarette piezo is but I'm using an igniter from a BBQ (might have been a ...

Yes your right there isn't much space.
My only reason for going semi coaxial in the beginning is because i wanted to reduce the total length of the launcher without making the C:B ratio worse.
As i said i have little to no experience with combustion cannons and i thought 3-4 mm would be enough ...

Hey all, I'm really new to combustion cannons so i would like to upload my design and specs just so it can be looked at and improved (don't want to have to rebuild it). I have done a fair bit of research and have spent a bit of time planning this out, I am merely posting this so it can be checked ...

I have tried both but there not really what i am looking for.
I probably should have been more specific but I'm looking for a program to do basic sketch-ups of objects.
Google Sketchup seems to me more landscape oriented and Blender is more of an animation program.
Maybe i haven't really utilized ...

Yea that could work ill have a play around. Cheers

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a free 3D Design program for Mac to do some sketch-ups.

I've surfed the net for a while and i cant seem to find any free programs for Mac, anyone know any good ones?

Cheers

Thats one of the neatest cannons ive seen!!
