Gun Shot
Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2007 2:31 pm
Here is my lateist combustion. It is propane injected, chamber fan, and electric sparker from my grill.
It has 2 ignition points, one at the front and 1 at the back.
The chamber is 8'' of Sch40 PVC and then like 14'' of 3'' Sch40PVC. I just made it out of the things I had around. Then there is a 2'' Sch80 union on it, it was supposed to be my hybrid until my friend DWV fittings on it. And then it has 2 90* DWV elbows to a 1.5'' barrel.
I made the support out of some 1/2'' ply and the zip tied it and taped it on there. It does have propane injection, but in the pics it is off because I was changing everything around. Before the tank was mounted to the underside of the barrel and then connected to the meter by a T with a PSIG on it.
The chamber fan is in the back,and the propane is injected into the back, and then the fan pushes it to the front, it works really well. For the fan I just had it attached to my drill battery because I didn't make a box for it.
Overall it works really well, but it is SUPER loud, hence the name gunshot. When I shot it it sounded like a 10gauge shotgun. And then 2 police cars went down my street looking for my I guess lol. It is powerfull too. I prob wont shoot it anymore because of the loudness. I might sell it if someone wants to buy it. But if you do it will not come with the sparker or the contacts.
And I didn't make it to look really good, it was jsut made with things that I had laying around my garage, I did have to get a few things. And the paint was done by my g/f.
Here are some pics, enjoy-
Looking in the back at the chamber fan.
The front looking at the union and were the end of the meter is.
View of the back, and the metal plate on the wood is were the sparker mounts to.
The eclectic sparker from my grill.
And there are wires all over because I did have a project box and I didnt feel like making one.
