the "coil" is an ignition coil which basically makes the voltage high enuf so that it will jump a spark gap. I can't make it jump the gap without it but you get a pretty cool spark if the 2 electrodes touch so i based one of my guns on this princapal. Basically just pushing one screw down into anoth...

Never heard of the car starting fluid but it sounds intruiging....
Im pretty sure he's talking about charcol lighter.

ditto, but I emphasize the stronger spark, with me it makes a world of differance.

It dosen't really matter how strong you think your wood fitting is, it can't compare to a properly glued PVC fitting because it isn't meant for this. When a fitting hardens the connection area is actually STRONGER than the PVC pipe itself. This is they way that it's done by professionals all around ...

Wait are you saying that you have wood holding together your gun? Dude, your funeral...

Yea, but you make it sound much worse than it actually is. This equalising of pressure dosen't actually add any PSI or force, whatever you want to call it. I don't know the reasons why but it just is that way. By the way, even if this "rushing of air" added tons of PSI, ball valves are built to take...

very ghetto lol

gj though

Ok I'll head on over to radioshack 2morrow but it looks to me that u can make the voltage higher jus by getting a *bigger?* transformer and the end of the circut.


I can build things from schematics I just have trouble remembering what each little thing does

By the way thnx a bunch

Hey I've noticed all these places on the net that offer instructions on how to build a stun gun. I'm competant enough to be able to build one but I don't understand enough to be able to look at a schematic and say, "Yep, that'll work." I'm hoping that somebody has some experiance with this because I...

O yea i dunno if ppl will still read this post but how do u guys get the camera flash ones to spark? 4 me the only way I get anything is to touch the 2 electrodes together, but thats pretty kool when I do lol....

i would assume so, in the category of realistic. I think an arc welder would be the best unless your chamber started to melt...

Arn't we all forgetting about the kool factor when you shoot a combustion in the dark? Thats actualy the main reason I decided to try combustions, you just can't beat the muzzle fire...

Hmm I guess so, still, if this holds true than, theoretically, you could increase performance a lot simply by buying a more powerful ignitor....

Well i discovered sumtin very puzzleing today, i finally got my mix right so I could test differant ignitors. First I tried a BBQ one and the blasts were strangly weak, big yellow flame. Then I tried an electric one and the blasts were some of the biggest since I built my gun. (They were so big the ...

hmm yea the VisFire thigy sounds like one of those features companys put on that are pretty much useless, no offense :D . I think wut it does is jus let u see a spark jump which tells u if the stun thingy is working but I don't see how it tells u if the spark actually happens in the chamber. I WANT ...
