Thats the reciever that fried because the components of the board cant handle much more power than it was intended for. But the motor itself can handle that 9v just fine. I wouldn't reccomend doing any more than 2 9v's for more than say 30 secs.

Hey a quick question where did you get the 1/4" id aluminum barrel (please dont say mcmaster i dont want to order anything over the net at the moment)? I was going to use 5/16" brakeline but it seems too loose.

Hey boiling lead why cant a blogun be used? Is that just for this particular design or is it obsolete across the board?

Well thanks for the ideas! Im going to use 3/4" pvc for the body though. And wood for the vortex block because it will be an airsoft gun. Thanks a billion.

Wait did you use 1" pvc to make the body?

Does that still use the vortex block like kaneda's original design? If so I have a question. I have been attempting to remake that partictular gun but I have a problem. None of the stores here have that 2" plug that everyone uses to house the vortex assembly. Not even the plumbing shops. It doesnt ...

Yea the nitro rc thing makes sense. It is comprised of gasoline ( i think) and nitromethane, the stuff used in the top fuel dragsters. It doesn't burn as fast as gasoline but you can pack more in a chamber to compensate because nitromethane has oxygen atoms within.

Me personally I used lighter ...

Here is a cheap and effective ignitor that you can make from a disposeable camera. Read carefuly it deals with some high voltages. http://www.angelfire.com/80s/sixmhz/camera.html

Is that what it's called? I have no idea. I'm talking about the thing the vortex block sits in if my previous description was too vague. And are cleanouts are only dwv?

One more thing. I found a specialty shop and they had the tee. But they didn't have a 2" sch 40 plug. They say no such thing exists. Do they go by some other name? Last but not least. I am really confused as to how to attach the plug containing the vortex block to the tee. I know that kaneda uses a ...

The formula is
63 KNO3
27 Sugar
10 Sulfur

Grind the individual ingredients to a fine powder state and sift together well. This formula is extremely hygroscopic. So keep it in an air tight container when not in use.

Hey Guys this may be a little off-topic but i figured "how-to" so maybe this is the place. I have been crusing the local home depots and lowes but I cant find any sch 40 2" pvc tees only sanitary ones, the ones that are curvy. My question is where have you guys found your tees.

I know that this thread is slowly dying but would ou be willing to give the exact lengths of the sch 40 1" and 3/4" pipe sections that you used? Also what is the size and diameter of the shown piece. (please don't get mad at me I copied and modified one of the original pics.)
