C:B calculator??

[sjog]

Where is the calculator for C:B ratios, not RatCalc and not GGDT the other one.Some one on this site set up, I think??
I have looked and looked.
Hep me plzee!

You could always use Windows calculator and some good ole fashioned Grade 8 Math...

[sjog]

8th grade for me was 48yrs ago...
Computer, 2yrs, self taught. That means I know nothing.

Are you sure you dont want to use a Windows Calculator?

[DYI]

Well, as a quick refresher course:
Volume of a cylinder= pi x radius^2 x length

Windows calculator is a function that comes with all Windows operating systems. Click "Start", then go to "Programs", then "Accesories". Calculator will be in the list.

That is a good one, I will save it.
There is an other???
Thanks!

[DYI]

I still think the manual method is faster, especially if you're doing a lot of calculations and fiddling. I wasn't even aware that there were C:B calcs, I just figured that people simply did it themselves. Do you understand the formula I posted?

Glad to see all the crap removed from this thread, hopefully along with its poster.

[SpudUke5]

yea its about time we got that filth off

Ne way, i do, i understand it. Its very simple. Just volume formulas.

[DYI]

I was kind of talking to sjog about understanding the volume formula, but whatever.
Anyhow, I'm off to research. I think I've inadvertently engaged myself in a race to build the forum's first working plasma rifle

DYI I understand and yes it is good that stuff was cleaned up.

Thanks Moderaters

Don't think it needs to be seen as a race. I'll be interested to see how your design works, and how close it is to my concept.

[SpudUke5]

Yea i was thinking that. But can you guys make a gun that shoots plasma as a ammunition? Just a thought.

[BigGrib]

I;m sure Ragnarok can, he's one smart or crazy m/f but most of the really smart ones usually are a bit crazy

[DYI]

Shooting plasma as ammunition would involve massively powerful magnetic containment systems, and is currently out of reach to anything but well funded military projects (who would rather stick to good old lead and DU), as well as being a hell of a lot more trouble than it's worth.

@Rag: my design isn't quite as advanced as your's, but what it lacks in refinement it will hopefully make up for in shear brute force...

I'll PM you about an issue I've encountered so far.
