monkycndo 0 #3 April 13, 2006 When I was in college, we graduated from potato guns to making a small version of a Stalin's organ. We shot large olives from the tubes using oxy/acetylene as propellant. It worked by lighting the first tube to fire the olive. Once the olive left the barrel, the next tube fired and so on until it was empty. The noise that thing made was awesome. We kept making the tubes longer so we could get more fuel into the tube. I wish I had pictures. Some of the guys that were in the frat scene started calling our group "pi rho".50 donations so far. Give it a try.

n23x 0 #5 April 13, 2006 We made one in highschool that was powered by an air compressor, and used a 1" lawn sprinkler valve to electrically release the resevoir. That thing worked pretty goddamn well. However, there was always something unnerving about pressurizing a 6" diameter PVC pipe to 120 psi while straddling it with your legs. .jim"Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrenalinejunki 0 #6 April 13, 2006 I have one myself and have been considering making the chamber longer for more bang. I am a lil safer than some of you. I just use hair spray and a lantern igniter. It still shoots over 100 yds. __________________________________________________What's the worst that can happen?
