Making a 330+ Joule Air Cannon

- In this Video I build an air cannon from a fire extinguisher capable of putting out over 330 Joule at 13 bars pressure. If I had bigger guts it could easily put out more energy...
It can be used as a potato canon or to launch anything that's laying around :D - Věda a technologie
Nice job! Love that you through in some math to analyze the performance. 🤙
Un gusto Amigo... Me gusta tu creatividad, sigue asi!!! Un abrazo desde URUGUAY
I've never seen a fire extinguisher with that large of an opening. Replace that silly little valve with a two inch ball valve and use a pneumatic actuator to open it and you will be blowing holes through car doors.
Hi ! Be very careful using compressed air doing anything ! The Schrader valve can actually be your death sentence ! 😢
High pressure injuries?!
@@johnshipley1389 Hi ! Yes, It is just a piece of brass with a rubber o- ring that can shoot out like a bullet !
impressive, well done
Brother home many psi a fire extinguser can handle
Nice build
Thank you! It was very fun!
You've built the speargun from the Poor Man's James Bond. It was a large book from the 80's, showing lots of DIY "devices."
Sounds cool, definetly gonna try to get my hands on that book!
@@Mika_357 The Weaponeer is a more useful book, by the same guy, Kurt Saxon. Now days, having it will probably get you put on a list. 40yrs ago, it was a cool book of improvised devices. Anyway, stay safe!
Doing a few changes you can power up upgrading the airflow
good job bro🎉
very wise to not weld the tank. Simple but effective.
Ótimo invenção
Arc welding galvanized steel, like this pipe, damages your lungs with zinc oxide. This has to be done carefully.
Pumping it up with a bicycle pump was hilarious. At Harbor Freight you can get an electric tire pump for 10 dollars. will a golf ball fit in it?
I usually pump it up with my shop compressor which goes to about 9 bars. I only use the bicycle pump for pressurizing it to 13 bars afterwards, but even that sure is a good workout ;D. Whether a golfball will fit depends on the barrel you're using. But with the pipe I used it actually fits!
You should use a fan when welding bro. That is some toxic smoke you're inhaling
imagine what could you do with a compessor instead of a bike pump
seen one in the workshop doh
Wife: honey when are you going to come in for dinner? Dude: soon as I’ve finished building and testing my fire extinguisher cannon I’m making for CZcams….. wife: I think we need to have a talk
I thought the compressor was going to explode with so many pumps hahaha nice toy
It sure sent that pipe a long way ! Did you get it back?
After a bit of searching in the long grass I eventually found it, yess!
What about using a co2 extinguisher that's full.
I like that idea for a portable tire inflater.
Fill it up . Throw it in the trunk.
Yeah good
You'd be able to shoot the rod extremely far is the barrel of the air cannon was only a little bigger then it
imagine getting shot by a 1kg metal rod going 70 mph
How many psi did you pump it up to?
I did 13 Bars wich is around 190psi, this was the maximum I was comfortable with
@@Mika_357 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm building one of these out of a small oxygen tank from a cutting torch. It should handle 200psi with no problem, if yours held 190. Thanks again!
My pleasure! In my case I was concerned about the car tire valve, it was only Rates for 10 bar max.(145psi)
valve is Tir valve??
Yup it‘s a Tire valve!
what your neighbors saying?
Идея хорошая
👍🏽
Get it to fire 10 mm Steel Bearings rather than Potato Wedges then you will be talking 👍
jetzt mit 150 bar und gezogenem lauf
Prática mente no dejo ber ni aprender nada todo lo hizo a la carrera
Valve is too small.. not dumping your tank fast enuff😢
Pero si eres un niño, apenas un muchacho
Poxa caiu aqui no Paraná 😭
Are you german?
Yes, I am!🇩🇪
@@Mika_357 Haha same
A grenade launcher perhaps
Get your head outta the fume path! 🚩🚑
