newbie planning to go all out :-)

[natas]

guess ill just stick to the plan, and do finetuning when the cannon is up and running.

My calculations are :

chamber: 5700ml x 0.042= 239.4ml
measuringpipe: 239.4ml at 3bar = 79.8ml

so im trying to make my new pipe as close to 80ml as possible


thnx alot for all your inputs it really helps to get feedback for a first timer

[natas]

I got this idea of using a old panasonic drill as handle for my cannon. I get a ok handle, and a rechargeable battery

Making room for the "trigger" micro switch



Blue Leds to indicate when the fan is running



Red Leds to indicate armed trigger



overall wiev of the handle, with the switches on the side for the ignitor and fan.




will come back with more soon

[natas]

the new fuelmeeter done

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

coming along very nicely!

should have used one of these though

[natas]

they have been considered i actually have two of those switches laying on my shelf after a NOS project on one of my old cars (red ones, not carbon). but i found them too big for my handle

[natas]

Ha ha ha.. just did a pressure test on the meetering system, the regulator is leaking gass all over, and the two gauges differ 1 bar !!!.. lol..
Better get me a quality ones...

[natas]

replaced the cheap regulator and gauges with kickass quality regulator, and oilfilled gauges, high-end accurate stuff. did a dry testfire today, and was rewarded with a loud sharp bang with almost no flames ... cant wait to get this babe finnished .

[natas]

Ok.. so here is the new gauges and regulator, works like a dream !!
Trigger grip mounted with safety switches, and rechargeable battery




Now I only need to get the brackets for the gas tank done, and the spud is more or less finished





Here im working on the brackets for the gas tank holder, old scool style, CNC version 0.1 beta

[natas]

BTW : the things i post now... should they rather be in the showcase area ?
or is that just for "finished" spudguns ?

and or is it just irritating that i post progress at all ?


im just asking since im new here..

[warhead052]

Nah, these progress reports are pretty cool. Save the showcase for when its complete. Looks really good! Can't wait to see more from you!

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Very nice! And old machines yay!

[Moonbogg]

Thats awesome. Did you bolt the camlock to the PCV wall?

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Did you bolt the camlock to the PCV wall?

I think that's the "standard" attachment from Ultimate Spudgun.

[natas]

Moonbogg, its the utimate spudgun attachment.. if it works, dont fix it:-)

i have done a more or less standard project, and copied other peeps working cannons for my first project, to get a understanding of how things work. guess ill start experimenting with my own sollutions on my next one

[Crna Legija]

lol I wouldn't say that's standard its defiantly one on the best combustions on the files, especially for a first. Great work!
