Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
what chamber size / bore? I've got a proud and colorful past consisting of many potato cannons being confiscated from my college apartment by campus police
nope, he bought the kit, he's got time for other stuff now!

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
It's on.
Started my second job today, 20+ hours a week on top of my 40+ hr a week I have now.
Picking up the new xj this week sometime, and all my extra cash is going into making it the most badass jeep I have ever owned.
(then Im saving to start a food cart business on the side,and hopefully feeding most of you fools at some point in time at events/fleamarkets/fairs)
^ this will be the best food cart/stand ever, already have an in to start, a concept and rough menu.
Think gourmet sandwiches+sides offered at reasonable prices,served with an awesome attitude and superior quality.

MAP gas, built in pc airfan to disperse waste gases, adjustable pressure regulator(depending on ambient temp +or-)and tazer electronics to ignite it.
barrel #1 was limited to the length of his xj due to transportation.
barrel #2 is collapseable and is around 15',iirc
Ill see if I can find pics of my friends cannon.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
..that and I can run the compression chamber up to 120PSI (and accurately measure how much pressure I am firing at each time)... a standard aerosol cannon produces a max of maybe 30ish PSI if the air/fuel mixture is perfect.
Best part is I built a huge remote-fire (can fire from 50 ft away) cannon for my highschool science fair and won an honorable mention for my study of effects of increased pressure behind a projectile. I loved science
Until I read further I read that like you had never had buffalo chicken before at all... :shocked:
:laugh: true
I've never showed up at one of these shin-digs. I might have to stop by on Friday. :thumbup:
oooooh. :thumbup: I haven't taken mine out in years. I built a pneumatic air cannon; instead of using fire I have a compressed air chamber and ball valve to open it. All that means is that I can shoot water and other loose stuff out of it since the ball valve also keeps the compression chamber and barrel separate until firing.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
And I plan on the xj being a "part of it", ie parked next to or towing it.
Very mobile and ready to go.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Anthony, after you remove the heat treatment from the shafts and weld them up or whatever, are you going to get them heat treated again or something? Wouldn't they not hold up without it?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I will, but I doubt that I'd need to. If I can make it work, this is my plan of attack:
remove heat treatment
machine
weld
immediately heat with torch
quench in oil
put in oven at 400* for a bit to reduce internal stress

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

3" PVC endcap. I built this gun 11 years ago.
That comment was mostly directed towards Adam, as he had the (mis)fortune of standing behind it at Rausch a few weeks ago when the old endcap exploded. I think we had probably cracked it previously trying to unscrew the cap with a gigantic pair of pliers. Dried-up hair spray gunk holds pretty well.
I had also been used to using Aquanet, but apparently Suave extra-hold requires some different stoichiometry for an optimal mixture. Later testing has shown that it's a much more potent fuel.
After that failed, and the subsequent trip to the hardware store in downtown Pine Grove on a sunday night over labor day weekend failed, I still had most of a 5-lb bag of potatos left. We may or may not have removed the cast-iron fill plug from the fuel/oil tank by the office with a big pipe wrench, which might or might not have had the same threads/diameter as the PVC cap. Furthermore, I will neither confirm or deny that a potato fired from close range can go through the windshield of an XJ, as well as put a decent dent in a rear quarter panel.
The gun itself (and the combustion chamber volume vs. barrel length, etc) has a ton of testing & tweaking time. The one in question is Spudnik II; the first one was a really basic test mule; III was a mini gun for shooting chunks of the leftover scraps, and IV has a 10-foot barrel. II, III, and IV are all scale models of each other and the large one has gone over 1000 feet with Aquanet. II will reliably go between 600-700 feet on hairspray, with a muzzle velocity of over 100 MPH, and I've punched holes in 1/2" plywood with it.
II also features electronic ignition (courtesy of Weber), a shoulder rest (taken from a Nintendo Super Scope 6), a scope (the small spotting one from a telescope), and a little thru-bolt right at the bottom of the barrel so that you never have to worry if the potato is in the right spot.
I'll dig up a pic, but here are the technical details:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
dont give a XXXX.
at every workplace there are people who drink and smoke. it just so happens someone caught it on camera here.
fiat is the best mother XXXXing thing to happen to jeep in the past 10 years save for the rubicon model debuting.
have you SEEN the new commercials for the GC? HAVE YOU?! THEYRE AMAZING.
jeep workers, if youre reading this, KEEP TOKING UP. its working great. :scottm:
hehehehehehe

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I couldn't two sh!ts about the workers drinking/smoking. As Americans this has been going on for YEARS and now all of a sudden people are getting all butt hurt over it? If I was in the market for new car and they were smoking IN the plant and IN teh cars, yeah I'd care. But you're not buying a brand new car with roaches on the floor and beer stains on the seats. Who cares? :dunno:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Chris, I believe you that the potato canon is powerful as hell. However, I noticed a few inconsistencies in your math. You say it goes 147.64 fps and it's quarter mile time is .887 seconds... Which one did you measure and which one did you calculate?

Hahahaha, so you're treating it like it's a 'car' and on a frictionless slider with the hand of God pushing it forward?
