By: VerbotenDingleberry. on 17 Jul 08, 13:06:06
Kind of expensive. I got the tank, new from a Welding supply for $185.00 and the regulator, which was actually much nicer than I needed was $175.00 (about his cost, it was a demo model). I could have gotten a pretty nice compressor for about half that but it would have topped out at about 150 psi. This thing will take me all the way to 600 psi if I can figure out how to use that much. It's also more portable and won't ever break down. Costs $18.00 to fill.

By: VerbotenDingleberry. on 16 Jul 08, 13:21:59
Pneumatics are much quieter than combustions (unless you make/buy a really fast valve like the "Mauler Valve", google it, they're really awsome) and if you get the barrel length right (longer is usually better) then the noise is even less. Plus, if it's too loud then you can just use less pressure. There are also some great designs for "silencers" that would help too. Check the SpudFiles website (the Forum has a ton of great info).

More to come soon (learning to edit with Adobe Premier!) And, yes, my pneumatics are VERY simple so far. Haven't even built a custom valve yet. I'll be making a monster cannon this summer with a 2" or maybe even a 3" barrel seal piston valve. (I need a lathe so bad.) It won't be a "Supah Valve" but I'll try to come close. After that I'll have to try a high pressure copper marble gun. Gotta learn to braise copper first. There will be more destruction. I promise!

The best Golf Ball ...
By: VerbotenDingleberry. on 17 Apr 08, 14:02:37
The best Golf Ball pipe is something called SDR-21 1.5" Schedule 40 pvc. It's a thin walled pipe for water systems like pools and wells so you should be able to find it at a well/pool plumbing supply place. A 20' piece should only run about $15.00 or so. You should also pick up some 2.5" Sch 40 pipe for tennis balls there as well. Both are nearly a perfect fit! If you come across any 5/8" copper "M" class pipe, first, send me some (herd to find) and then make a paintball barrel for yourself.

By: acdc93312. on 04 Jun 08, 20:23:55
unfortunatly I don't use combustion, and I don't have an surplus of old monitors sitting around my house. However if you were to use a longer and larger diameter spike you would most likely be able to exit the third. If you were to increase your power somehow I'd bet you would be able to get the fourth. P.S. make sure that when you sharpen your spike that you don't make the point to thin, because when it bends is when it slows down dramatically.

Is that a challenge ...
By: VerbotenDingleberry. on 04 Jun 08, 17:38:00
Is that a challenge? OK Bubba, now we need to see *your* Spike video :) If you can get 4 with a combustion I'll make a video just to bow down to your superior Spud Zen! (Plus, I just wanna see the video.) Hmmmmmm, maybe I'll try that design (or similar, it was always too heavy) again against 2x12's or something. Damn, now you got me thinking again. That always costs money...

By: acdc93312. on 04 Jun 08, 07:18:39
In all reality thats not that impressive, you have a projectile that is very small, meaning it contacts the target(s) with a small aera. Not much power needed to go throught 2 monitors and get stuck in a third.

By: BarrettRouton. on 08 Aug 08, 21:33:39
great idea using those slugs. I've found if you have a 2 inch sch40 barrel you can get a rounded cap for 1.5" it fits perfect into the 2 inch. Anyway get one of those and stuff a golfball into the bottom of it. That make a very aerodynamic slug that goes very far I should have a vid of it up soon.

By: VerbotenDingleberry. on 01 Jul 08, 12:52:06
They're just steel washers on a bolt with a rubber washer at each end. When you tighten the bolt it expands the rubber a little. If you can find washers to fit the 1.5" barrel, and I bet you can, then the rest is easy.

By: VerbotenDingleberry. on 12 Jun 08, 13:49:12
If you use all pressure rated parts and glue them properly it's pretty safe. I was at 150 psi and the parts were rated to at least 300 psi (except the Valve itself, it was a little over it's recommended limit).

By: VerbotenDingleberry. on 06 Jun 08, 13:04:59
I've seen some ugly injuries when it fails so here's the rules I've been able to dig up: - Always use ALL pressure rated parts. They have more gluing surface for a stronger seal. - Always use a cleaner on every surface you will cement. - Always use the Heavy Duty PVC Cement. - Always give the PVC a minimum of 24 hours before drilling, taping, etc or before putting any pressure on it. So far I've been good up to 150 - 160 PSI.

I am using 4 inch sch40 (rated at 260 PSI) pvc for my reservior with dome endcaps (dont know the rating) glued on either end and threaded for a shrader valve and the 1 inch outlet. I just used regular PVC cement for the reservoir and i am not sure how much preasure it will take. So far i have only hit 75psi. Just curious how you build your reservoirs to sustain such high preasures?

By: VerbotenDingleberry. on 31 Mar 08, 13:10:06
I totally dig Propane (and propane accessories) as evidenced by my MAPP gas cannon but I kept hearing how much more powerful the pneumatics were so I decided to give them a try. They are powerful and oddly enough a little less noisy (probably because I haven't made a really fast valve yet!) than the Combustions. Still not as portable though! Spice of life and all that...
