Haha trust me, my designs have come a long way from my first one about 3 years ago. Then it was a 2 qt water bottle with the top cut off and a hole in the side and the cap duct taped to the hole and a paper towel roll connected to the opening. Obviously not the best as I lost most of the hair on my ...

Dude I didn't say I was poor. I don't see a point to paying for a professional system at this point or on a experimental build like this one. I don't even know if all the additions will work so pouring extra money into it on a cannon that is purely a testbed is pretty stupid to me. Maybe on the next...

Propane isn't really cheap. Just to do it I've seen most go for 100 to just get the meter and the parts. Out of the price range.

I don't know, I might switch to something else. Gasoline came to mind only because I haven't heard of any that used it. Figured it was worth looking at.

Good job. It's nice to see that there are other web designers who do actually care about conforming to the W3C standards like me.

One thing I would recommend is adding a favicon. If you need coding help on that I could help you.

Not really a bad idea. Have you seen a bullet? There's the lead tip, and behind it is the charge. Which is confined in a casing, as would the gas be in my theory. And the thing about the neighbors was a joke, don't take everything so seriously. And of course I wouldnt be stupid enough to test it in ...

Haha I meant to say not blow my hand off. Mental lapse.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to do some tests with one of my old cannons.

What if the gas was placed in something like a ziplock bag? Could be useful for waking the neighbors haha

Gasoline as a fuel?

I'm working on my next cannon that I plan to make sort of like a artillery cannon/bazooka (bipod legs on the barrel extend to different degrees like a mortar tube, or can be hand held by handles/pistol grip). I was wondering if it would be possible to use gasoline as the fuel source instead of just ...
