BUILDING A REAL AIR CANNON

[kookiemoose]

4 grand holy cow! I use to work with flanges like those all the time when I was a pipe fitter in the ship yard. We use to mess around shooting crap out over the water with high pressure air. Fun as heck.

[805ROADKING]

@kookiemoose Ahh!! Shipyard Hi-jinx, we use to fill industrial size trash bags with helium and let them loose in the flight path of Philly International!!☺

[daddytech]

dang and i thought cameras were expensive. for $4,000.00 i'd have some SERIOUS camera equipment and lighting too. till i found out he actually had that thing welded i was going to say i could sure use that tank lol my compressor is about half that size. that's more like the compressor i need and i have a 2hp motor and know where i can get a belt drive compressor to put it all together with, just need to find a tank like that and i'm set lol

[805ROADKING]

@daddytech That tank was the cheapest part of the whole ordeal!! I think he got it for $25!!☺

[daddytech]

@805ROADKING probably got it from someone used then eh? not sure but that looks like one of those ingersol Rand compressor tanks and they usually build them pretty tough.

[805ROADKING]

@daddytech He got it from the scrapyard!! just paid scrap metal value!!☺

[daddytech]

@805ROADKING Nice score!

[draywanda]

[mrwiggles2]

[805ROADKING]

@mrwiggles2 4 Grand!! 2 Grand just to get that weld inspected and certified!!☺

[pimpinpenz]

damn thats one expensive hobby

[805ROADKING]

@pimpinpenz Yeah Buddy!! We need to buy a farm like yours to test it out!!☺

[pimpinpenz]

@805ROADKING oh yeah, or just aim it at your enemys house.

[creamofcardstv]

not a cheap project :D It will be interesting seeing it in action

[805ROADKING]

@creamofcardstv yeah you have to be serious about that hobby!!☺

[RamblinAround]

That gonna be a serious piece of hardware. That's one heck of a valve on that thing. I liked that footage you had of the last one shooting a van.

[805ROADKING]

@RamblinAround We'll have to fund Jordan and see what he can come up with eh!!☺

[MagicCadillac]

Well, that's a serious cannon if it is finished, it would be great to know how thing are going on with that thing, cool stuff :)

[805ROADKING]

@MagicCadillac Thanks Kay!! I'll get some footage of it operating in October!!☺

[jfrost77hd]

Pretty cool.... Yeah I've always thought about making something like that. Definetly can be pretty dangerous.... yeah I should probably stay away from that! lol

[805ROADKING]

@jfrost77hd I don't know Buddy!! That Mini Bike Looked pretty dangerous!!☺

[jfrost77hd]

@805ROADKING Yeah I hear you!! :)

[mbyr31]

WOW!!!! That is a zero f*ck around project right there! Expensive as all hell too....

Hey, tell them to aim that thing west, and let me know when they open the valve....I can't wait to see that pumpkin fly by! :) LOL!!

[805ROADKING]

@mbyr31 I hear ya Buddy!! I'll stick to restoring tractors and engines!!☺

[iexploderacoons]

holy shit that is expensive. Shit I would have welded that bitch up and called it good, then again if it was mine it wouldn't shoot pumpkins for years!!

[805ROADKING]

@iexploderacoons the inspectors are the expensive part, you don't need them if you don't compete with it!!☺

[CCSinventions]

if i was gunna spen over 4k i would find an old school air tank cuz they are like 1/2 inch thick!

[805ROADKING]

@CCSinventions You're right, If there is a week link it's the tank!!☺

[CCSinventions]

@805ROADKING a week link? please clarify



[805ROADKING]

@CCSinventions Weak!! sorry for the typo!! I agree with ya Buddy the tank should be thicker!! If anything is gonna blow, it's gonna be the tank!! A weak link is just a term that is used. It comes from " A Chain is only as strong as it weakest link" meaning that no matter how big and strong a chain is, if it has just one weak link in it the whole chain is shit!!☺

[CCSinventions]

@805ROADKING oh yah i use that term i just didn't understand i was thinking like a link is a type of seam weld lol

[805ROADKING]

@CCSinventions Cool!!☺

[dirtbike5100]

@CCSinventions Problem is this whole thing already weights a ton! Besides, this tank will handle 300 psi without any problem!

[krazy45cat]

Thats Very Cool . Where can ya practice ?

[805ROADKING]

@krazy45cat The record for that catagory is like 3600 ft, so they have to find a farmer or land owner that can handle that distance!!☺

[tedhaze1]

is sure heavy stuff attached to little tank

[805ROADKING]

@tedhaze1 That's crazy ain't it, The tank is less than a ¼ inch thick!!☺

[dirtbike5100]

@tedhaze1 Tank looks small but we've got it tested to about 300 psi! And we've heard of people shooting a 10lb punkin 2500 ft on just 30 psi. As the saying goes, it's pressure not volume :)

[dirtbike5100]

@tedhaze1 Tank'll go to 300 psi

[samfrye1]

cool,lol but alot of $ for a pumpkin chunkin,lol

[805ROADKING]

@samfrye1 I totally agree with ya Sam, especially for something you're only gonna use once a year!!☺
