I operate my spudgun with deodorant. I can inject the gas with a microcontroller, so I get very reliable results. But how to define the best mix?? I thought if it fires, the leanes tmix is the best. But it is not. If I inject more gas, the power goes up. Is there a way to find the best mix?? Just go...

I currently operate a similar assembly in my gun. I use a T-junction and a short tube as magazin. Spring loaded to allow gravity independent loading. You should keep in mind that magazine should be fast to change. In this case the mag also has to keep the full pressure of the system. So some enginee...

About barrel evacuation: Do you guys know how pulse-jet engine works??? These engines make about 50 to some 100 cycles per second by bringing the whole system in resonance. We just need a way to load the tube with ammo then...... Maybe store the ammo inside of the combustion chamber and release it p...

Thanks for the compliments..... :-) If this is (kind of) the holy grape, then the box of pandorra is now open. There is nothing on the gun that is secret or that needs special tools or skills! I have now opended my mind to give it a propper name: -F-A-K-K- Stands for Fully Automatic Kartoffel (Germa...

That's the currcent status....

If you look closely, you can even see the injection-valve opening an closing...

The magazine is 5 shots, but i forgot to remove the finger from the trigger, so the last "shot" is without ammo...

so, some major step forward! The current Cycle time is not 575ms per shot!! That 1.7Hz (shots per second!!) I had to change parts of the magazin to metallic, and add a end-stop to the spring-plate in it. The limiting factor for the speed of the gun is now the injection with 375ms. Means i can comple...

Hi, I try to answer questions and add information whenever I find time. The deodorant is measured by an timer. I can select the injection time in 25ms steps. The gun is controlled by an arduino micro controller. I can contol the ESC that controls the EDF. On top the EDF I have a valve, that is close...

Heer is a principle sketch i did today.
More details will follow later this evening...

Hi, i just wanted to share with you my first spudgun i have build. I tried to do it "First Time Right", and not go with a simple kiddie-spudgun... The idea was to have a full automated spudgun that is portable. One major goal of the project was to achieve 1shot per second. Right now i achieve a cycl...
