I found some cheap high pressure check valves from mc master that I used for the striker. I forgot the number, but search and you will find.

A 1/2" check valve on McMaster rated to 1kpsi is $20.66. I'm pretty sure that the repeated combustion would damage the seals on those though.

I have a 1" 2000psi rated ball valve. It cost $12.
Clicky
edit: It seems that you'd need to shell out a lot of money to get a hydraulic ball valve, unless if it's smaller than 3/8. Source: Ebay

You could just build your own HP check valve.
NICE RECOIL!
LOL at the airsoft shot

You should have got footage of the recoil of the motor shot, I'd presume it was pretty substantial? That ball valve got destroyed, lol. Nice video!

That was great! Yeah, the oxy shots are brutal on anything thats not metal aren't they? It seems that the heat just frags everything in the chamber.

AMAZING GRACE!!
Once more, good job! Next time - more distance to the target. Some "long" range shooting with and without target cam would be nice.
I really appriciate your videos, even though they keep pushing me towards building a new hybrid that can be used more practically.
Stunned again!

Haven't commented in this thread, but I've talked with you about it in the chat room, but still... ITS SUPER L33T AWSUM!@!
The barrel flex is pretty concerning even if you are using ABS, how about adding a muzzle brake to combat the flex?

That barrel suport should work, however it wil also put enormous stress on your ball valve.
And to make it look better you can replace the air between the barrel and the support with thin aluminium plates.
Just my opinion
