Pimpin' advanced combustion.

[chartreusesnot]

This is my second real cannon, and my first combustion. It is an advanced combustion with all the works including a chamber fan, and metered propane. Propane is hard to work with in small chamber volumes such as this, ~375 cc. This is why a meter is critical, so that the propane volume falls within the golden ratio range. ~2.4% - 9.2%. I calculated the pressure for the meter to be around 20 psi. Pretty much all of the information, along with the general design, were found at burntlatke's site. I have fired it a few times, and from what I can see, it is quite powerful. I will take a video at some point. Probably tomorrow.

EDIT 1: Video

Very nice! I like the design and idea. Keep up the good work! Now all you need to do is paint it, maybe a poll for different colors?

Heres the first video in crappy lighting due to a rainy day.

you should put a ball valve (or 2) in your propane meter set up for more accurate propane use, but other than that.....

JOB WELL DONE!!!


EDIT: oops, my bad, hard to see the ball valves with the skinny handles.

There are ball valves as far as I can tell

they are the small brass pieces on either side of the gauge.

Nice job im planning to make one similar after I save up some money.
