Well I'm sorry to say that mjöllnir's dark twin will be a burst disk cannon for a small time while I work on casting and machining a piston (after I get the foundation for my lathe poured and the lathe set up) this weekend I acquired the last (I hope ) pieces and assembled the cannon. Had problems w...

Would this work for the pilot valve http://www.supplyhouse.com/Watts-012162 ... -Lead-Free

Ok so what length would you recommend.

ok so hurricanes gone and i was able to get out and buy more parts for the cannon. What an amazing quote :D Yet so so true Update solved problems with ignition system. Turns out that the original battery wasn't able to supply enough power to to 10000kv transformer. Solution replace that battery wit...

ok so hurricanes gone and i was able to get out and buy more parts for the cannon. now all that's left is to cut and epoxy the seating face, make the pilot valve, have the piston machined, and acquire some ball valves and the cannon will be done for the most part. then comes the fueling station, and...

all i can say is looking good. how ever if you braze any of the joints make sure to cap all of em. and be on the lookout for any units that use the refrigerant 410-a. those compressors will put out an extra 400-600 psi.

Okay i was cleaning my closet today darned hurricane and came across this beauty. the name of this cannon is the mfa2.0 which stands for mass flashlight accelerator. http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/u667/cha0scannon/2012-08-25_18-29-02_643.jpg it was my first spud gun i built. i had a lot of free...

Whilst working on my ignition system for my low mix hybrid.(the evil twin to Mr.C's) i started having problems with the arc after transitioning from prototype to completion namely now a weak arc when it decides to arc. And while running through my arsenal of profanity my father suggested a glow plug...

Ok back to the original subject of this thread. A good dc power supply that lots of people use is a power supply from a computer. Im sure u already know this but even the junky one will put out respectable power. Mine puts out 12v at 18 amps i also have a 20 amp pwn to go with it. However mine was m...

finally i find a thread that i can talk with some authority. ive been working in a foundry for over a year and doing metal casting as a hobby for over 5 years. the reason that alloy is so brittle is because of the zinc it makes alloys harder yet much more brittle. a good way to get your feet wet wit...

Just don't make it a solid cylinder if you have machining facilities. i don't but there are at least 5 machinists in a 10 mile radius of my house. http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/u667/cha0scannon/2012-10-29_00-32-40_216.jpg update on my ignition system its all put together except the wireless s...

For now it will just be a aluminum one like Mr.C's until i know it works then ill start tweaking and peaking various things.

I have talked with Mr.C and gotten his permission and am going to build a similar version of Mjöllnir with a few changes namely in dimensions and aesthetics. here is the ignition system (not finished im waiting on the wireless receiver to show up) http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/u667/cha0scannon...

Ok well that last plans been scraped. i now am in the beginning stages of implementing a new plan that will be insane :twisted: :twisted:. while at work (in a foundry) i realized i have the knowledge and ability to make my own high strength steel. i am talking 80ksi130ksi tensile strengths. and i ha...

My main worry is if they can stand up to 5k surges. Other then that i like your idea
