Starting fluid

71.136.92.132:

Starting fluid is normally known as ether, diethyl ether, or ethyl ether. All types are powerful, some people beleive they produce more power than propane. Ethers are incredibly easy to over-fuel however. the upper flammability limit is about the same as the LOWER Flammability limit of propane.

71.136.92.132:

A union is made of either steel or PVC. Most unions are pressure rated. A union consists of two male threaded pieces, connected by a threaded oversized nut. the pipe couplings are either socket-weld or threaded. PVC unions have been known to blow up on hybrids before. Boogieman and LuckyThirteen13's PVC unions have exploded before. Variations on the unio have been made like 90 degree unions.

71.136.92.132:

There are many diameters of barrels popular in spudding, below are some that fit certain ammo:

* 4.5mm brakeline - fits bbs, good for [[BBMGs]]
* 6mm brakeline - fits airsoft bbs, a commonly used ammo in BBMGs.
* 3/4" CPVC, 3/4" sch 80 PVC, or 1" sch 120 PVC - fits .68" paintballs
* 3/4" sch 40 PVC - fits 12g [[CO2 cartriges]], AA batteries.
* 1" sch 40 PVC
* 1.25" sch 40 PVC - fits somesort of battery
* 1.5" sch 40 PVC - a common size, good trade-off between power and potato usage. [http://www.spudtech.com/components.asp Available rifled from the [[SGTC]]]
* 1.5" sdr 21 PVC - fits golfballs. Traditionally sleeved within SCH-80 PVC.
* 1.5" sdr 26 PVC - fits golfballs, but it is thinner than sdr 21, so the golfballs fit a little looser. Traditionally sleeved within SCH-80 PVC.
* 2" sch 80 PVC fits sdr 21 and 26 pipe well. Also used as a golf ball barrel by itself, with the golf ball held in place by a rag patch, or other wadding. Also fits normal light bulbs! Details here: http://advancedspuds.com/concreteballs.htm
* 2.5" sch 40 PVC - fits tennis balls well.
* 3" sch 40 PVC - fits normal cans, and empty propane torch tanks
* 3" sch 80 PVC - fits many drink bottles well.

Wadding

71.136.92.132:

Wadding is often used to keep a delicate projectile from exploding upon firing, or to seal up small power-sapping gaps between projectile and barrel. Common waddings can be found Here: http://forums.spudtech.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=129 If you aren't using the Spudtech forums yet, I heartily recommend it. there are some total geniuses there.

Lantern sparker

2005-10-19T02:20:33Z

71.136.92.132:

Lantern sparkers are cheaper than BBQ ignitors or stun guns usually. They work by spinning a knurled wheel connected to a rod of steel. The steel has a peice of flint in contact with it at all times by a spring. When the wheel is spun rapidly, hot pieces of flint and steel will shoot off, causing a shower of sparks. The cheap price has a light catch however, they are a less reliable and more sensitive ignition system. The problem with lantern sparkers is that they have the tendency to not spark when wet with ANYTHING! Axe, hairspray, and starting fluid will all stop a lantern sparker from working if they should get on the flint/steel sparking assembly. They are very cheap however, and the flints are replaceable. If you can afford it, go for a QUALITY BBQ ignitor or stun gun.
