Haha, got your leg in the picture. Very nice cannon, the labels add a nice touch, did you use krylonic fusion spray paint? And Did you super glue on the labels or double tape or sticker paper?

super glue. taped each side of them first..

ahh, hows your ignition system working for you?

Mate that is one wicked bit a gear your building there!!

Guys.. I am having a hard time with this Trigitron..

I have enclosed a video of what I am doing... so after watching the video.. tell me.. am i doing this right? or am I all jacked up?

Please elaborate on your findings..

I am so frustrated.. i could throw this thing in the trash.. (for real) I am not joking...

with your board do you have 3 wires going to you bulb?

You should just forget the camera, and drill a hole in one of the project boxes and install a peizo, its more reliable and you dont need to wait for charges. But thats just me. Mabey is you got a small ignition coil that you could suqeeze in you could just dump the whole cap through it.

yes.. i have three wires going to the flash.. i never disconnectged them.. up to the point in the video... that circuit seems to be working fine.. (with the safety switch and the on and off.. and the charge switch.. however.. it wont work when i disconnect the flash and run it back to the spark gap.. why is this? what am i doing wrong.?

i want this to work.. simply becaue the button i am using is so much easier to push than a grill ignitor.. and it looks much cooler... and.. if i was going for accuracy.. the grill ignitor will make me pull my shots becaue they are so much harder to push than my momentary switch i have for my fire button currently.

Ah, ok well camera cirtcuts have a really TINY spark gap, so mabey you can run it through a small ignition coil

what kind should i get? and can someone post a pic?

Heres how an ignition coil looks like. But i think you can find smaller ones from go carts or something. http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/high-po ... 10486.html This link might help.

I had the some problem(probably), there is a maximal of one minimeter between the three electrodes. I think it will work with that little spark gap it also workout with mine gun that was to times bigger. So you do not really need a ignition coil, but you can always use one if the small spark gap doesn't work. By the way your guns looks fine

If you do decide to throw it away, don't. Just send it to me PM me for the address

okay...please watch this...
