800 psi. Aluminum/steel. What type of pipe would I need? Where can I find solenoid valves that will work at 800 psi? How would I fill it up without the bike tire thingy popping out?
No, you knife the edge of the barrel so it automagically chops it to correct sizeOriginally posted by: BatmanNate
Wouldn't that be pretty hard to get a good seal with something like a potato? When I built on I just used PVC, capped one end with a screw cap, drill a couple of drywall screws with 1/8th inch gap and hooked up a BBQ sparker. Ran on hairspray, and worked pretty darn good.
I think airline security would notice a huge 8 foot thing in a bagOriginally posted by: Evadman
I would use steel as it is easier to see on an x-ray.

Hmm... 800 psi isn't that bad, if it's safe enough to use on steel hose on a paintball gun, I think it should be fine in a good-thickness pipe...Originally posted by: Evadman

I was actually refering to the fact that it would be easier to pick the pieces out of ya, but hey, that works too
Edit: stupid spacebar.

I REALLY don't think you need 800 PSI. I made a spudgun using compressed air, since CO2 would be harder to use, and from what i've researched on it, 150 PSI would do.

Well if they can send a 10 lbs pumpkin 4/5ths of a mile with just 175 psi...Originally posted by: Evadman

a potato is not going to go a mile. ~400 yards was the max I ever hit with my golf ball cannon, and that was with a solid golf ball. a potato would turn into fine powder.

you can make one out of PVC that operates at like 100 PSI from a bike pump that will shoot a spud a great distance.

How are you gonna hook up a 800 PSi tank to it? Whats your name again? Want to get the spelling right for the Darwin awards...

As for the high-volume, I'm guessing I should keep the ratio 1:1 right?
You first.Originally posted by: Colt45
I vote for PVC pipe + ether

They also had 500 gallon tanks hooked up to it and probably 60 foot barrels..
