World How to make the spiderman web shooters.

[White_widow]

Awww.., I'm sorry. Want to talk about it? Take all the time you need bro. I hope you feel better.

 

[JMA610]

Hey guys, forgive me i know its been a few days but i had a heartbreak this week but im back, i have two sketches of the shooter and will post both versions as soon as i get to a scanner.

Sorry about that. But we're here for yah. But dont rush the sketches if you dont feel up to it. I know how you feel, and it isn't always the best way to be when working on something like this, or anything really. So take your time, like White widow said. You know where to find us if you need anything

 

[Spectacular23]

Well thanks guys it good to know that but its a part of life right?

 

[White_widow]

Yeah.., I know how you feel. I lost my MJ a year ago. It will get easier over time.

Yeah but it's just weird because my MJ seem to want to come back
But yeah you're right.

 

[White_widow]

Hmmmm.., I don't know how to respond to that. Sorry though.

 

[JMA610]

Ok guys. Here are some pics of the materials I'm using. And I think that I'm going back to the foam and cavlar route again, as it is more stable than the steel I have. Here are the pics:

Those are Excellent! What are the two pieces in the cartridges? One is green and one is black. Those look perfect!

 

[JMA610]

Those are the spinnerettes I am using. The green one is the net shape, and is adjustable. The black one is the same thing only with the green part screwed off, which makes a solid web. Glad you like it! And I'm changing my trigger system as well. I'll post some pics as soon as I get it from home depot.

Anyone made any progress? I'm going to buy a few supplies this week but my idea for a shooter is a little different for pressure so it will take a while to build the compressor. I'm debating whether or not to use CO2. If the boiling point changes under pressure to become lower, then the use of a propellant isn't necessary, however I looked online earlier and apparently pressure and boiling point is a direct relationship meaning that the acetone will actually raise in it's boiling point meaning that it will come out like normal but it will still be a liquid. Another thought is that the CO2 will possibly freeze the acetone. I'm not quite sure.

Whatever the case, I'm kind of curious JMA610. where are you going to get the Kevlar and foam? I understand that foam can be purchased at both home depot and walmart, but Kevlar is rather scarce to the population other than in the forms of tires and bullet proof jackets. Tires would actually be cheap but unless you use car tires, they will be rather flimsy or too hard to shape. For me personally, I will be using a fiberglass resin over a wrist band or maybe a tin can reinforced with bakeable clay.

 

[JMA610]

I will get a roll of the sheet foam from a micheals arts and crafts store. I got some thin cavlar way back when for a batman gauntlet, but I'm not sure where from. I'll find something soon.

Hey! I'm new, but I enjoy inventing things and this is on my to-do list! I have some design involving a high heat hot glue gun and some low melting point gluesticks for impact webbing, not a strand or a net. I'll put my designs up later, but until then, what do you think of the idea?

 

[White_widow]

Interesting thoughts. Can you explain How hot glue would act as impact webbing?

 

[Symbiote-Man]

This is my design: The circles are batteries for both the glue gun and the motor. The square on the right is a motor to pull the gluestick holder ( the square at the top ) in, pulling the gluestick ( middle ) into the glue gun nozzle ( bottom ) at a high speed, which will shoot it out as a glob of glue. Phew! That was a mouthful! So, what do you think? I did not test it yet, because I'm looking for errors.

BTW: Is the pic showing? All I see is a blue question mark and that is not reassuring!

 

[White_widow]

I'm sorry but on my screen it's not showing an image. As for the actual design idea, It sounds reasonable but whatever motor you're using has to be powerful to generate enough pressure to overcome the glue's viscosity and make it fly at "a high speed". Hot glue is a good webbing solution but you will need alot of sticks for a good amount of glob. Have you considered using a propellant or the time it took to heat up a glue gun? Just important little tidbits. I'd imagine it would be easy to make as the technology can be purchased for less than twenty dollars at the mall. I'd say go for it.

Also just curious, Since the motor runs in a circular motion, how does it push the glue in?

Finally, I forgot to mention, Welcome to the forum Symbiote-man!

 

[Symbiote-Man]

Sorry I didn't metion that, it will wind a wire or thread up that is attached to the gluestick holder. Yea, I forgot about how long it takes to heat up, good idea! As far as "high speed" I plan to have the glue gun the hottest it can go, and have the gluesticks be able to melt at lower temperatures, which, hopefully, will allow me to shoot it out faster. I definitely need a fast motor to shoot it out as a glob, instead of a stream. Also, I don't plan to need it to be a huge glob, as much as a reasonably sized one, but that is a good thing to think of! I'm not sure what you mean by "propellant" for the gluestick, please explain.

Thanks for the ideas and the welcome, White Widow!

Also, I think it's my fault you can't view the image, but I'll get the hang of it! It basically is a top view of the design, which a drew in a CAD program.

 

[White_widow]

Right on! I like it. One thing you might want to know is that the heat is generated by a coil wrapped around a metal that conducts heat abnormally well. To increase the heat of the gun, you must wrap the coil tighter, increase the battery output, or use a stronger heating element. So what are you going to use your shooter for? If it's pranks on your friends, I would recommend using CO2 to propel the blob so that it cools down and doesn't cause third degree burns.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

VERY, VERY good point. It's to add to a costume I'm going to make, but I don't want to accidentally give someone third degree burns!

 

[Symbiote-Man]

Thanks a lot for the help!

 

[White_widow]

no problem!

 

[JMA610]

Welcome Symbiote-Man! But another reason you want to have a good propellent is so that the glue doesn't burn you as it shoots out. And if your arms are at rest, you might want to add something to contain the tip/nozzle so it doesn't burn your sides while you are not shooting. And if the tip/nozzle is so hot that the glue will come out so easily, you need to find a way to close the opening off so no fluid flows unwanted. Just a few things I would look into if I were building this. But I like the idea of impact-webbing. Good idea! Hope to see more from you soon.

 

[White_widow]

That's a good point that I hadn't considered. It would be simple to cover the heated parts with silicone rubber to insulate and stop burning. You can buy silicone rubber at any kitchen store as it makes up most ruber oven mits. One thing to be careful about is that you should use an adhesive that doesn't soften due to heat.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

Good idea! If it's so hot that the glue comes out easily, I don't want to know what it does to my skin!
Also, a couple hours ago I took apart a glue gun and found the heating element. The problem was the heating element did not look like I could wrap the coil around at all! In fact, instead of wire being around it, it was inside the metal. So I believe that's out.

 

[White_widow]

Wow, Nice. If its viscosity is that low, then maybe you can just use that design with some pressurized mechanism. Have you considered making a super small piston?

Hi, I'm new to this thread, so please go easy on me when I'm asking you:
What are the actual targets of this project?
What do you have done in the project by now?
Can anyone join?
Thanks
