What do your hands smell like?

Mine smell like a mixture of gas and alcohol, I just got finished playing with my spud gun.

1 hand smells like beer, 1 hand smell like nachos.... hmm... Back to watching the game.


Nice Intel and AMD users get a Cookie.... Yummy

Hmm.... well gas/alcohol is the best I've used so far. I put it in a hairspray bottle and give it about 20 squirts. Really kicks hard, I can fire an aerodynamic one about 400 350 feet. (I use a PVC one, about 2 foot barrel.)

oh - well that's okay then - you had me worried for a minute.

I've tried lot's of fuel. Gas, alcohol, ether. The thing that makes the acet so good, obviously, is the oxygen. Getting it to burn clean with a torch, assures a good mixture. I'm sure you've noticed, that too much fuel means not enough oxygen and less power. Plus, we get pure oxy in there. Not just relying on the small % of O2 in the air.

I have put acet/O2 in an all PVC gun. But, do be careful. You may be picking pieces of plastic out of your face if you try it It is much safer with iron combustion chamber.

We use a Coleman CampLamp igniter. But, want to switch to electric ignition. What do you use for ignition?

BTW, while the torch is spewing our go-go juice, we sometimes use it to fill balloons (the bigger the better). They make excellent noise makers when ignited. Yeeheehee Besides balloons, we have also tried blow-up toys, air matresses, a blow-up sex doll, and a rubber raft!!!

Kids, don't try this at home.

Hmm.... I'll try it , but only once.... I've already wrecked the threads on the back of the chamber (for the plug you unscrew) more than once and had to rebuild.

For ignition I use a normal automobile spark plug, about 4 inches from the back of the chamber. I have a BBQ starter hooked up to it. One quick press of the button and BLAM your potato is flying !

I can just see you in the store looking for aerodynamic potatoes.

Look at the size of that thing!

My hand smells like beef ramen noodles, because I just accidentally spilled a little of my 'instant lunch' styrafoam cup soup. Heh heh. Oops. At least my PC wasn't anywhere near.

Hmm ... thinking of which, what would happen if you were to cook and drain ramen noodles and then put them into a spud gun and fire it? Would they roar out in a coherent blob, or would they not even make it out?

Wow, how big is the combustion chamber you are using?

Our gun looks like this:

2 foot long, 2 inch diameter PVC barrel. threaded at one end. Then screwed into
2" to 4" cast iron adaptor, with
4" long, 4" dia, iron combustion chamber screwed into that.
4" dia, iron cap screwed over the end.
Cap is drilled and tapped for 1/2" pipe plug (fuel fill).
Cap also has 3/16" (or so) hole in it, that is for the sparker. (I like your ign. better)

This unit is very strong. If you are blowing out the cap on yours, with your fuel, I don't recommend using acet/O2. The acet/O2 goes, at least, 50% farther than any other fuel we have tried. Never measured, but guessing 500-600 feet.

After one shot in an all PVC gun, I would not stand anywhere near it. My friend popped off several more shots with it. But, we both agreed to upgrade to iron. We may be stupid, but we ain't dumb

Bourbon, damn shot glasses. Always spill a tiny bit if you dont get the bottle titled right. Wild Turkey and Mountain Dew makes for a great little drink.

My hands smell like crap now, well that is what happens when you use cow manure on your lawn. Yum-yum. OOps I should have washed my hands before typing.

Damn, you chamber is big. I would <i><b>not</b></i> try acetylene in that. I'm pretty sure it would blow your gun to smithereens.

you could build your self a protective wall like 10 ft waya form the gun

you would need a capcitor and a car battery then thoe so that the charge would be strong enough once it got to the gun
