Success my first cannon worked first time
Here is what I did ill levee things in approximate metric to save confusion I got an eye piece which is called a screw able end cap in the USA .two pipe joiners and a 15 inch length of 4 and half inch sewer pipe the orange under ground pipe it does not have a presser rating on it but would meet the 110 psi minimum legal requirement and 5ft of two inch pipe and a converter for the pipe this id say if any is my week link as this is mainly used for indoor work and probably would have a lower pressure rating any way glued it all together use pvc glue I could not get the stuff u use on the pipe before u use the glue so I just glued it all together waited 24 hours
I got a long nose electronic lighter and took it apart found the two wires in it I then got a stretch of wire I had ling about from an old kettle I drilled two tiny holes in the chamber and passed two paper clips threw it that were left 2 mm apart inside the chamber I hooked this up two the kettle wire an checked for a spark it worked well so now I have enough cable that I can fire it around a corner for safety
So sprayed 3 second amount of hair spray in the chamber clicked the igniter and boooom was not expecting it to be as loud
So now im thinking of my first modification as I reassembled the lighter I have a lent tube that gas comes out of and what im going to try is feed the tube threw a small hole in the chamber up the gass flow so I will have it pore into the chamber at a predictable rate
Before some one saes it I don’t have the right barrel two camber ratio but exactly how long should my chamber be next time usin 5ft of 2 inch pipe
Sory for the spelling guess they din teach me like they shulda
