Does anybody know who came up with the idea to modify a sprinkler valve for a launcher? It is incredible! What a difference in performance over a ball valve for just an extra few bucks. I just got off my ass this past weekend and modified one of the one inch valves I picked up from Ebay and had a blast, so to speak. Who came up with the piston for that matter?

Who first modified the sprinkler valve?
Oh that was me.
After creating the world and whatnot I had some free time Sunday and decided to push the cutting edge of spudding.

Try larger faster higher flow valves. After a while the modified sprinkler valves seem tame. 
Try a Coaxial Piston.

Oh yeah, I invented those Tech. Had some spare time between free-diving in the Atlantic and stuffing a 460 into a Miata.Technician1002 wrote:Try larger faster higher flow valves. After a while the modified sprinkler valves seem tame.
