I may text my pulse valve cannon for this as that is actually what a pulse valve is designed to do, knock things with blasts of air (they are used in dust collectors).

Also what are the actual rules for the testing envoirnment, i.e. does it need to be outside or can it be in a confined area?
i love ...

As stated before, those vortex cannons do not displace enough air to knock anything over at 20 feet. Also keep in mind, the farther you go, especially with unstabilized air (air connon muzzle blast), the force will decrease exponentially, not linearly. So if you have twice the nessisary force to ...

im somewhat scared of whatever ragnarok is making now.

but yes, thats a good point. perhaps if the coil was spinning fast enough and the projectile was already traveling very fast?

yup geardog, thats exactly what i mean

I cant be sure, as i am not positive about my magnetic knowledge, but im not sure it would add spin as the nail is not North/South discriminant. By this, i mean it is not magnetized, but it is still magnetic (it will stick to a magnet) In order for your idea to work, i believe you would need a nail ...

But not in use in the potato gun world, to our knowledge at least.
Either way, this is unessiary. lets be productive.

actually, if you could figure out how to get/make the tools, thats a legitimate idea
That's not a "legitimate" idea... It's how rifling is done in firearms. Or close enough, anyways (ie, it's how it was done in the old days.).

you fail to provide information disproving my statement. By ...

but hey, i didnt say it was impossible!

hmmm i stand corrected. now we just need to figure out how


now go to bed jack, your making me look bad

i learn so much more here than i ever do at school

anyone got a CNC/milling machine?

Im surprised im the first to bring it up, but although its deffinatly not a dead end, as any paintball player, or spudder who has used a Co2 system knows, CO2 cools as it expands, like every other gas, except CO2 does it to a much grgeater extreme. For this reason, HPA is used instead of CO2 on ...

Im not sure if you are interested, but i would look into pneumatic cylinders to actuate a ball valve. I have a bunch of cylinders lying around, i usually use them to move the parts of my breech (for my semi-autos) but it has just occured to me that they would do exactly what you are looking for. On ...

and now im a little confused again(sorry) are you using a 1 1/4 coupling, or a 1 1/2 section of pipe?

alright thank you veryy much a video would be greatly appreciated.
