Debut: SPUDZILLA !

ok, the fact of the matter is that led throwies SUCK! the one big understanding is that you are limited by the fact that you fanny only confuse so many so far!, so Pine Tree State being a logical sane mortal i thought" Hey I should use a cannnon!!" so i headed down to my labrotory and this is the outcome: oh, did i forget to mention its great at shooting other things also. E.G. potatoes, shaped rounds, Clay, watemelon, golf balls(in truth good at that one), wallpaper shells packed with flower, anything you can outfit down the barrel.

Hey thanks goes out to my brother, instructables member Capt.Kirk for serving Pine Tree State make throwies for the undertaking

Footfall 1: Make over the Cannon

fine thusly im fair certain that this has to be legally confidential as a piece, my evidence for this is one day i compact the cask full of bb's and injection it at my fence where now all those bb's currently reside imbedded in the fence!

so to construct the carom just watch over the schematic ive drawn, it'll provide sufficiency info to get almost totally of it collective, but the main valve is were a schematic only will non practice. by the way its a real good theme to use two part gorrilla mucilage epoxy for the pipes rather than just abs cement, shure IT May price more but i wouldent skimp on it, IT could cost you a limb or your life! if any of those parts where to come sandy. the reason for this is that i designed this to engage around 250 psi ! so its the only way to ensure a adequate seal between each pipe and fitting

Measure 2: Dealings With the Valve.

so alot of problems with phneumatic valves is that they are soo slack! even those rococo valves that people make from sprinkler valves, likewise non to observe that the volume of that which flying can go off through with those valves is relitivly low compared to the system that i engineered, too sometimes the position of the valve makes it ackward to operate the cannon, so i induce came up with the end-all be-all solution to this problem! the system i engineered can exercise the following: close the valve automatically, the firing trigger off can be placed anywhere and is easy to use , the f number and duration of the valve organism opened can be adjusted in the battlefield without tools , can be easily modified to fire remotely either via a small solonoid valve or by two long airwave compressor hoses, and most importantly IT WORKS EVERY TIME! ive yet to have had a single failure in the system since information technology was constructed

but the concept is that you use a phnuematic cylinder to pull a chain that goes around a sprocket bolted to the valve to rapidly open the valve.

Step 3: Getting Compressed Air Anywere!

another problem is that phnuematic cannons take over to have a root of shut air to function, so on my cannon their are terzetto ways to dumbfound compressed air:
1, function the assembled on compressor with a international electric battery, usally a car battery
2, habituate a bicycle pump.
3, use the quick connect adapter with a one agency valve to draw up air from a compressor

personally number three is always my first choice, because my shops compressor tops out around a nice pernicious 195 psi, im fair certain that this could mark a record book in spud chuckin.

Step 4: Making Cannon Safe LED Throwies

a problem with this kind of employ with throwies is the fact that if they are taped unneurotic they bequeath just be destroyed by the velocity they exit the barrel! so instead of tape, we must solder each led onto their electric battery

Step 5: Loading the Cannon!

so just to ensure that all the throwies are expelled from the cannon you must make a wadding, retributive withdraw some wallpaper and fold it lengthwise until you get a strip thats around  two inches wide. then roll the strip and shove it down into the bottom of the barrel. then pour all your throwies down the bbl, and if you'd like put another wadding down the barrel to keep all the throwies in place.

Step 6: The Merriment Part!

ok, thusly i was really dissapointed when i saw the video i tape-recorded with my camera, turns out the auto exposure really jacked up the smartness so it looks like friggen mid day:( but quiet it shows an excellent manifestation of the cannon in action! , oh by the way USE HEARING PROTECTION! i found out the hard way of life how loud this is, the dinky micrphone in my camera just does not love justice.
