Re: Counter balanced hammer valve issue
There are different configurations for balanced valves, this post should be of interest if you haven't seen it already. Most of them have the opposite problem of not reclosing. The solution for that is the same as the spirit of Hector's suggestion, bleeding air from the transfer port in order to fo...

Gluing schrader valve in mini coaxial
I’m about to glue the schrader valve into my mini coaxial and was wondering if I should remove the rubber from around it. Would it be safer to remove it and then epoxy it in or just leave it as I’m only planning on taking it to 200 psi max. Thanks for the help

Re: "In the world of spuds today"
What do you think... What will be the next step in airguns? Maybe more pressure to achieve more power, or more autonomy? I think that the boys of 60 or 70 years in the future, they are not going to shoot with the same thing that we shoot. In aviation, they went from propellers to turbines, from ther...

Re: Golf Ball Cannon - Suggestions Please!
Here’s my multiball cannon, golf ball with led in it. I have 2 2” and 2 1” irrigation valves modified to dump all the air out of a 26 gallon compressor. Check it out here

Trouble with oxy/acetylene mix
New hear, now I was just on 37 newspapers around the world front page for a homemade hail cannon. YouTube - Americannon for videos. I had a combustion chamber made from a propane rank that was modified for this cannon. I had to get the right mix, and about 2min filling it with 02 at 80 psi and acety...

Paintball Artillery Gun
Hello people. I would like to share a project I've been working on for awhile. Its going to be an air cannon designed as an artillery gun for paintball games. Below are some 3D images I've done of the final vision (I do 3d modeling). Its going to shoot groups of water balloons at the opposing team. ...

Re: Paintball Artillery Gun
Neat! We need a few more details on how it works, it looks like there's 3 sprinkler valves and the chamber can't be the whole length of that bottom pipe (or could it?). Only suggestion I have is to pneumatically pilot the three valves instead of electronically. You can hear the diaphragm "honking" t...

Re: Paintball Artillery Gun
You could also spring-load them or even just add a larger handle to the valve as well. I think with a few bucks worth of tubing/fittings, and a small 1/4" ball valve, you could really make those three sprinkler valves work a lot better as well though, all depends on what you want to do.

Re: Paintball Artillery Gun
Here's some pictures of the 2nd prototype. Its a 1 1/4 inch barrel that allows a 2ft shell to be loaded. I built two different breach loading mechanisms I thought could work. The first is a screw in breach that has the air enter from the bottom. The 2nd is a cam lock where the air enters directly fr...

Re: Paintball Artillery Gun
Just as a matter of opinion: cam locks all day every day. In a mounted configuration like yours screw breech works well enough, but any usage where the barrel is free to move in any other axis than forward/backwards (and rotating) they become very annoying.

Re: Paintball Artillery Gun
I'm continuing to flesh out all the details. Double checking all the proportions to make sure its turnout out the way I want it to look and feel. I started thinking about the possibility of towing this like a trailer. I made some provisions for a leaf spring and a tire fender. There's alot of other ...

Re: Paintball Artillery Gun
I made a video demonstrating the concept for it.
I decided to forego the legal trailer idea. There's too much involved, its also more expensive. I still plan on towing it off road though.
