Potato Gun! :)

[k12ug 10+ year member]

well.....ive been messing around with them lately and ive made some impressive stuff.

if anyone knows what they are.....maybe you could help me out.

my probelm:

need better ignition source rather than a BBQ crystal igniter.

PROBABLY ANSWER:

to build me a electric ignition to make huge 10000 volt+ sparks

what i need to know is is this how this could work....

battery (for power source)

High Voltage Capacitor (to up the volts from simple nine volt battery to thousands)

two nails inside the tube (to ignite the fuel.)

A BBQ ingnitor works just fine. Get the ones that keep clicking.

put five ignitors in with a car battery in a back pack and walk around like the predator and take foos out....

buy a tazer online and extend the electrodes to screws in the chamber.

make a little 9v battery pack on the thing.

that should do the trick.

my friends made one of those a few weeks ago and I shot out a street light. It would have been much more badass in black...they used black and we painted it gray and pink, lol

yes, that is true, but the pneumatic ones are way more dangerous, and they are not portable... unless you like to use big CO2 cans for paintball guns and keep refilling them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

the combustion ones are much much more fun, espically at night. espically with this rifeled clear barrel.

http://www.spudtech.com/detail.asp?id=33

and here is a clear combustion chamber. fun to see the esplosion and easy to see if your sparks are working //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

http://www.spudtech.com/detail.asp?id=37

thats the way to do things //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif - then just use the taser as the ignition. maybe 3 or 4 rows of sparks lol. oh yea. use propane for the fuel. its cheap and much easier than rattle cans. (hairspray, deoderant, paint, ect)
