This is my very first cannon, it only cost me $30 canadian to build and i will ge making it propane over the weekend, the fan is from a hairdryer you see at hotels, the switch to operate it is the hi-low switch off of it, and i have a twist sparker from an old bbq. It has a 3" combustion and a 2" barrel

Shouldn't matter if you got something in the barrel to stop it ftom blowing the propane out.

yep, nine volts, is quite weird cuz i have one that says 12volts ad works with 9volts, anyways cool gun, im making my first combustion, any advice from ur work, and, does the airflow from the fan goes from the barrel out to the end or from the end to the inside?

what is the deal with the fans in there?

Mixing the fuel and adding turbulence for a better ignition. Look it up in the wiki.

yep, leaving it on will make a difference while shooting?
do i have to turn it on while fueling?

the fan blows towards the barrel, and i find it helps if i leave it on when i shoot, bit stronger in my opinion(never tested it though)
