Burst Discs

That's the one DR.



Rene's plans are pretty much fool proof.

You can also check out the yahoo site that stills builds to Rene's plans

Rene's plans also came with a nice little homebuilt tool to make your own burst disks.

I think I'm just going to keep using playing cards in <a href="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/burst-d ... l">this</a> one. They're easy to make, and I have a bunch of decks with missing cards.

Wow. Looks like a mortar. I didn't RTFA, but approx how far will that chuck something, at what weight?

Notice the topic is called "Burst Disc Mortar"? I meant for it to look that way.
RTFA=read the F****** Article?
At the angle in the pictures, it can launch an end cap so high it lands 100 yards away, at a 45 degree angle it shoots over twice that distance.

Nope, didn't notice. Just looked at the purty pictures. I'm trying to do 5 things at once (writing G-Code for my cnc router actually), so I'm skimming for now.
RTFA=Was meant as Reading The Full Article...but it's a matter of semantics I guess. Fark has ruined me for the rest of the sane world.

My sons bugging me to build something. Again. So my next task is a starch launcher.

Revisiting this topic:
At the grocery store the other day, I picked up some Ritz Stickz (Ritz crackers but little stick things) and they have a really good mylar wrapper. I made about 35 discs out of it, and they burst at exactly 120 psi, with full flow and no leaks. I would recommend them to anyone, plus Ritz Stickz kick ass!
