My question is: Is it possible to convert a combustion cannon to a hybrid?
It very much depends. The original design and materials of the cannon will affect whether it is either possible, or safe to do such a thing.
Without seeing the cannon, we simply cannot know - but yes, in some cases it would be possible.

Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Yes, if you add a filling valve for compressed air and some sort of fitting - threaded/cam-lock etc. - between the barrel and the chamber to hold a burst disk. Also, your chamber has to be able of resiting the increased pressure.
You might also want to decrease your spark gap.

unless your combustion is of metal construction, i would say no...
its best to start from scratch and build a safer purpose built hybrid.

I totally agree, i was going to convert one of my larger metal combustions to hybrid but realised how unsafe it would be. If you were going for 1x maybe but then why bother.ALIHISGREAT wrote:unless your combustion is of metal construction, i would say no...

That really depends. Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned using something that was designed, and (well) made as a combustion at a 2x mix, assuming decent materials.
Wouldn't really want to go any further with PVC, but that is still a hybrid mix.
With that said, I would still be wary, and would want to do a fairly decent check of the cannon before entrusting it with that (and the first few shots would likely be remote fires).
