Ive just built my first cannon and i think i did a alright job with it.
I have to admit it does get a little boring shooting it though because its just to simple. Right now im working on a mount for it like miskaman did.
But is there anything else i could do to make this thing fun to shoot for day long periods. Or if i could get more power out of it?

just your typical things like chamber fan, propane meter, high voltage ignition and nekkid chick stickers would make it a lot more fun.

Ya stickers would be nice. Anyone know where i could get some of those?

Nekkid ones 8) or something else? definitely get the chamber fan though

What does a chamber fan actually do? And wouldnt the implosion in the chamber affect the fan?

It can vent the chamber when done firing, and can can help with power(said to be a 20% increase...
) it wouldn't be an implosion though, more like explosion...i think

A chamber fan mixs the fuel and can increase performance up to 30%
And what do you mean by implosion of the chamber if you mean combustion it can but it takes a while for any affects to show.
Im loving your avatar

Ok im guessing i could find something in how to's about the fan. Thanks about the avatar. I just pick it out about a hour ago :wav:
By the way isnt a implosion inside something and a explosion is the entire thing blowing up? im just guessing so if someone knows please tell. haha

Not really, all a combustion cannon is is a container for an explosion. It's still an explosion, just inside something.
Implosion is a process in which objects are destroyed by collapsing in on themselves. The opposite of explosion, implosion concentrates matter and energy. An example of implosion is a submarine being crushed from the outside by the hydrostatic pressure of the surrounding water.

How would high voltage ignition help?

It will just be more reliable to ignite on the first click to my experience but I have heard it makes the combustion happen faster making higher range and velocity.

You could add a multi spark system and that will increase the burn rate of the fuel....in turn creating a faster explosion
