vaughanaloolaloo (pretty stupid, thanks to the morons in student council) is this friday, it's a school "spirit" event when we have festivities involving lots of water

here is what i just made
shoots twice as far as a super soaker, slightly wider stream, and no, the bottle is not to be shot, it has a 75 psi relief valve just in case
i taped two 6v batterys and hooked it up to my mini compressor, it can only pump 20 psi...

here are some pics

it guzzles water like mad, but the bottle changes fast, it is only held on a 3/4" pipe by friction, so it has a garden hose valve.

i changed a few things, got rid of the pressure relief safety valve, changed some fittings, added plastic quick connections so it can fire water rockets, and added a pressure guage

i got around 5 non galvinized parts that are rusting like mad and needs replacing

and the bottle cap that i had to epoxy into the quick connections wore out and leaks like hell :( although i can still shoot the bottle
