hello i just signed up and i have a blast cannon this is the picture
(see picture attachment)
the bigger pvc is 4"x50cm and the barrel is 2"x50 cm piezoelectric ligther disposable (yes if the trigger breaks or runs out i just remove it an place another one in five minutes)

"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote

you know you are not an engineer if you have to remind yourself "left loosy righty tighty"

Welcome to spudfiles(shouldnt be sayin that as i am vey new too :lol: ). First of all if you arent using propane as of now do not use hair spray it really gunks up your chamber really badly and isnt very powerful either. But since you do want to use propane there are many places to look for it likehttp://advancedspuds.com/propane.htm,http://www.burntlatke.com/lp.html, and even this http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/pvc-pro ... t1872.html. Hope this really helps. By the way really nice cannon im likin the paint.

first edit: Three people just beat me to this. WOW :shock:

Well maybe if your looking for other powerful ignition fuels you could try to use the stiociometric (spelling?) mix of H2 and O2, which is the components of water seperated. You can do this with a electrolysis machine, which you can find a new version of killjoys right here. But i would not use it on this cannon only because it doesnt have a metal chamber. This stuff is powerful so it needs a metal chamber because even pvc can break but i have never heard of the pvc you are using so i wouldnt know if its safe on that. But hey im learning spanish now so maybe you can help me :D

La foruma aqui es muy bueno. Hay mucho informacion del spudguns. Es muy divertido aqui. Vas aprender mucho informacion. Pero si tu necesitas ayuda, nosotros podemos ayudarte.

Hows that for spanish 2?? :D

EDIT: This was not put into a spanish translator, this was done in my head. 8) And sorry i couldnt accent the right stuff, like aqui on the i, tu at the u, and i think thats it.
