Fixed Pants™ Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Gav, i'm a sensible lad i'm only using it in my garden Simpson! It's my first one and if it was any bigger with the materials it would probably send plastic into my eyes.Next ones gonna be pressure rated (10 bar) and huge. Gonna be mental.

Ryan. Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Sheringham - do it. And yeah, firearms but the laws are VERY vague on them, they're not actually propperly classed as anything accept a fire arm (a weapon that fires a missile or any sort)ffs we were about to film our cannon when the sodding police turned up!!! had to leg it down the cliff!!!! not funny! then hide the cannon and run like shit from the police car following us down the seafront! waited a while then went to climb back up the cliff not realising there was some f**k off scaffolding at head height (where we were hiding) and twatted my head on it! mum thinks iv been in a fight!!! we had to walk along the train tracks to lose the dam coppers!!!

Louth Trials Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 haha ace mate i don't know how they work!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Sort of simple.Like an engine, explosive gasses are ignited forcing gasses out of the barrel, but unfortunately for the potato, it's in the way and gets sent about 100-500 metres depending on cannon power etc.Basically, sealed system, you spray deodrant into the combustion chamber (white bit) and the propellant gas in the deodrant is ignited via a spark and boom.

PaRtZ Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 if the gas was expanded would it make the explosion more violent? cos you could like suck some of the air out using a pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Well, there is a type of cannon (people rarely make it because of it's longtingness) called hybrid, it's combustion and pneumatic and i cba to explain it. Just know that it's pneumatic with an added boost of combustion, i think.Combustions only work if there's air in them, if you beast em up with deodrant thinking it'll make it better it's simply not gonna fire. (air intakes/filters on cars) So sucking air out of it will make it not fire. (i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concussion Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Not a great vid mate, looks like a powerful gun though! I much prefer spud cannons, more of a wow factor IMO....make one like that Allah Akbar vid with your mates, that was funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 It is a spud cannon, it's just it's pneumatic and has a smaller barrel, in comparison to my old one. Also shoots things other than spuds.I could possibly do that, but i dunno, it's a bit risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
