World How to make the spiderman web shooters.

Thank you, I appreciate that. Have you taken a chemistry course? It just depends on the surrounding material and how well it is mixed. Polyeurethane is a good example. It becomes an incredibly hard foam. It generates it's own foam. What we will do is mix our material with water and laundry detergent. This will create pockets in the polymer that will expand it. It might be better to use something other than water, but we want something that flows well, and our polymer is relatively strong that will dry as soon as it loses the acetone.

I will take chemistry next semester. Ah i see so we will be able to us e some common household items. Good. If it's dries as soon as it looses acetone then maybe we need to find another substitute that can still keep the stength of the polymer but still flow well,o we won't have any clogging in the shooter.

Nice, you'll love that class. As for acetone, the boiling point is below room temperature. I'm almost sure, though Batsam would probably know better, that since the boiling point increases due to pressure, that when pressure is rapidly decreased, so is the boiling point and the acetone should evaporate either instantly or very slowly, though I'm not sure.

WEll that's make sense, so are we using acetone as a propellant? Because the guide says that our propellant you have a boiling point at room temperature and something else about pressure. But hope batsam can clear up all of the confusion soon.
 
No, CO2 should suffice. Acetone is a solvent, that's all. It keeps the formula as a liquid.
 
Do you have any material for making your own prototype, or are you waiting until we have made a successful prototype?

Well i really have to conserve money but as far as materials to make the prototype i'm getting those now. Ordering most of them online.

I will start on the chemicals and stuff for the web fluid polymer whenever we successfully created it. Then i'll start to make the batch.
 
Ok. I just wanted to know what you were going to use for your cuff, being that you want the 90's style shooter. If you are buying materials I assume that you know what you are doing for that?

Yeah my web shooter is going to be similar to the 90's web shooter of course with my own tweaks here and there. Gonna take plaster cast to get the cuff right, measurement, tight, etc. Plaster cast is a better route for me. So i won't have to worry about much except for grinding and smoothing out the edges.
 
Won't that break relatively easily?

Not once i pour the molten metal on it, the material of the molten metal will basically bond with a light indestructible metal, like titanium alloy. Very light weight and hard to destroy. Then that when i will do the grinding and smoothing part. Well you know, once the metal cools.
 
Wait, where would you get molten metal?

This is where I'm stuck at, in the research process of that as we speak.

But i do know know that there are a varieties of plaster casts that can be made and they're basically unbreakable. So i might not need molten metal. I really don't need it at all.

I really have to know what JMA610 is doing when it comes to that. He has another site when it comes to costume creation where he was describing the use of a liquid rubber, but that isn't too difficult. The only two things that can melt metal are strong acids and heat. Solvents in metals cause corrosion and not break down. The only thing I can think of is to take a fabrication class or to bend sheet metal over your arm but that is extremely dangerous.

yeaaa.. no :wow:......:dry: I stick with the hard plaster casts instead.

Well for you, I recommend getting PVC and cutting it to fit your arm and layering Tin can sheets over it using epoxy to reinforce it. That way you can make the slot for the cartridges while making the cuff without an intense risk of injury as melted metal would you know melt your skin off.

Hey! You saw that? Whats your username? Anyway, I just got done making most of the pieces for my shooter. I went to home depot and bought a sheet of galvanized steel and traced and cut the shape of the cuff on to it. I've bent it into shape a little, but need hinges and a clasp to make it complete. Then, as far as the cartridges, I went back to home depot and picked up green PVC with threaded ends and bought caps for both ends. Then I got some clear plastic tubing and cut a hole in the caps big enough for it to fit in to. Then, I found irrigation spinnerets which are adjustable, and put them in the tube and glued it to one cap. Now I have ten 12 gram CO2 cartridges and an old paintball gun to make the pressure and trigger mechanics. Hopefully will be done by the end of the week!
 
WOW, that is fantastic! The only thing you might need to know is that the acetone dissolves Pvc but it takes a really long time to dissolve and it won't eat through more than a 1/12th of an inch, but if you got a plastic tube or if you line the inside of the tube with the clear plastic (or maybe even a ziploc bag and or seran wrap). Then your fine. Congratulations! Now, no pressure (and no pun intended) but when you make the functional shooter could you post pictures? If not, again no problem. That's really awsome!

P.S: I looked it up when I typed in web shooters. I found your "Show me your web shooters" and since that site navigates like this one, I saw your reboot costume forum.

Thanks! And of course I'll post pics of them. If I'm lucky I'll get a video up on youtube. And that "Show me your webshooters" thing was when I started this whole webshooter craze. At first, it was just a replica, then it was sticky silly string and CO2 for the costume, then it was a whole webshooter, then this came along, and so on........
So as you can see, I really have high hopes for this project. Now all I have to do is make the fluid.

mmmm, well thanks for the tip,i'll do that instead :woot:

Wow i can't wait to see how this turns out!! Can you explain how flexible the sheet of galvanized steel is? What you cut it with? This sounds very cool!!
 
Sweet! I feel like we're really close! I found one more webshooter design of Ben's.

It has both a trigger and a sensor. It is missing cartridges. It's even layered. What do you guys think of this?

Look cool but i wouldn't know how hers work, and since it's layered i don't know the exact mechanism for it, but in the long shot it looks cool.

Maybe the whole thing is just one huge round web fluid cartridge???

your theory works. What if the sensor on the top of the bracelet is actually a check valve? She would have to have a machine that pressurizes the fluid and pushes it into the shooter.
