Thanks
I think I'll leave the MAPP and O2 for future attempts at mutilation and work on the metered propane animal I have on the drawing board.

Propane, MAPP and Oxygen

No I have no intention of combining these three, however. I was shopping for parts at my local Seed and Feed and they sell Propane, MAPP and Oxygen canisters all roughly the same size. Has anyone tried to combine oxygen with Propane or MAPP to improve combustion? How would that change the metering o...

Why would the fan burn out any sooner on 12v than 16v if the fan is rated for 18v.

I usually run my fans 1/2 voltage-to try to have the bearings last a little longer.

They run slower but seem to atomize just fine.

Oh I do expect the pnuematic powered cannons to go boom. I'll add longer barrel and more precision combustion chamber to number three cannon.

Thanks

Thanks I am considering propane-This was a small comission for a friend who paid me for expenses so i did not want to go to pricey. I would appreciate advise on what next.

Thanks for the comments- The ignition is simply a grill ignitor that I split to three points . (I have been experimenting with a converted disposable flash but haven't gotten as hot a spark as with a grill ignitor.) The Barrel is 1.5 " The Chamber is 4" It makes one hell of a boom with Aqua Net. The...
