Before I screw up something else, for a filling port can I take put another screw in. I'll use a potato, exactly 24.5ml of propane. I'll let it mix for 10 minutes and then ill give it a go. I'll also try to video tape the whole thing. http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/4346/chemistryv.jpg I was neve...

video of what you're doing to fuel? are you sure the measurements are correct? are you venting between shots? I did it exactly like it was done in the syringe pages video. In between injecting fuel (because i have a 10ml syringe) I placed the cap on the end and only removed to inject more fuel. I d...

I tried it again, filled the syringe to the Max placed as far in as it can go and quickly repeated. It went off after 15+ ignition attempts. Not enough power to move the projectile even an inch. Retried with spray and pay and it launched 10 feet

pie :D At what point should I convert to metric I tried it with metric only and ended up with 2171.8749 ml (i think) and 3% should be 65.15ml. It doesn't look right to me. Whoah there. First off , if you're using propane the correct percentage is 4.19%. Chamber volume is 34.04 cubic inches, which g...

Would this type of syringe work. Only if you cut your nails ;) Omg I didn't realize they were that long. Only dirty bc I was out plying Airsoft. Hygiene aside. I do 12 inch barrel length x 1.9^2 x pie. But that answer isn't metric right. At what point should I convert to metric I tried it with metr...

With a lot of math calculations on speed gravity ect you could come up with a rough amount of time delay.

If it is combustible, it is a fuel and can result in a rich mix. How combustible is it? Is it butane? The label may indicate what it is. Does not say, I was under the assumption that it was compressed air and air getting more dense of oxygen the cooler it gets. Also I got one of the best launches w...

So after looking at some hdgt results with proper propane fueling, I'm starting to question how effective this would be. I'm not sure how much deviation it would has because it doesn't account for the bb's separating from the casing, But I've only got results of like 200 ft, and so far i've only got...

The duster said combustible on it so I figured it would make a good mixer because I don't have a fan. Ill check CVS for a syringe and ill start using propane and I'll try it out again. I guess I could use that cup reversed with bbs I made a new projectile, it was 3 cardboard cutouts with a middle bl...

I filled the cup with hotglue. It reduced distance by a lot. I'm going to try to find a way to put a chamber fan in somewhere

So i tested it out, and i got a few launches. very hard for it to ignite. I was using carb cleaner, because i got no luck with propane. Launched a paper cup about 20'... :mumum: Heres how i prepared to shoot. I used the compressed air can to start the mixing processes, and then i used a ghetto cardb...
