This are valves http://www.pneumax.ru/upload/iblock/9e1 ... 7f2ea4.pdf
How about this? And what to use as a pilot-trigger valve? Slide valve? If so how do I attach it?

Need design advice. My first pneumatic.

http://i003.radikal.ru/1112/5b/69e7a3ca6ec0.jpg Barrel is 1.9 cm by 110 cm. Firing Volume is 1.9cm * 25cm. About 75 cm3 as GGDT predicts. Is 1.9X25cm enough to shoot at 10bar? And is there any more ergonomical design? Which trigger valve would be the best option? I heard about slide valves, but I d...

I'm thinking of using an ignition coil and 9V battery. Something like 30KV igniter i saw on ultimate spudgun. If not spark plugs, then what would you advice to put into the chamber? Screws? Should I place fan alongside the chamber, or horizontally? Can I use a valve for ventilation? I suspect that o...

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/7725/designv1.jpg This is about what I want to build. My goal is to build reliable and safe cannon. Thus, I moved the chamber back, that even if it explodes, it will happen behind, not in your face. All pipes are rated to 360psi 95C. For this reasons I decided to ...

Well. I'm going to stick with the left, although it looks strange. My previous cannons suffered from use of Piezoelectric ignitors and a hairspray. I changed Piezo to Tescoma Uno electronic gas lighter. It performed better, but still left a lot to be desired. Which ignition option is going to be the...

You are absolutely right :) So, direct injection with a propane meter is not an option for small cannons, right? And multi spark ignition, or one spark is enough? Fan? Or in a 20cm chamber it is going to be destroyed? The best would be to keep to the 1.2 ratio? Higher ratio will only decrease perfor...

Trying to figure out what my cannon should look like.

Hello. I've built 3 cannons. This one has been my first. http://s004.radikal.ru/i205/1104/53/97f616715266.jpg Other are not with me now. After reading through all technical aspects of building a spud gun, I realized that I must have been VERY lucky, that all of that cannons actually worked. Now, to ...
