World Web shooter shop class - Part 3

[Elxiah]

Probably. Back in those days I was hacker. That's where the name S1ru5 comes from. Luckily I've returned from the dark side.

oh the stories me and wadaltmon could tell you of our hacking exploits together....

I was think about my CO2 idea and found out that micro solenoid water valve and holds about 203 psi I think. The max psi of a 20g CO2 canister is about 115-120 psi. Do any of you know how far water reaches when you use a CO2 canister? I know that it varies with the nozzle size and such but a general figure would be nice. I plan on using a CO2 canister that is found in some small paintball guns and used for quick pumping bicycle tires on-the-go.

I used a sports needle for my CO2 design. I went straight until it hit a wall in my workshop, so i couldnt measure well. It reached about 8 feet.

I think a majority of internet comic-bookers were at some point The spirts needle thing is a nice idea. How are you going to attach it to the valve?

Oh i'm not using CO2 right now. that's what i did before. But I am still using the needle. It's not connected to the valve, but functions as a nozzel. I was going to do something different by using several of then. They work great because of how small they are. Really increases the pressure, and makes a nice line instead of a globby stream. They're also called needle nozzles.

How fast?

No that's what I meant, how are you going to attach it to the nozzle and keep it there? Not valve, I misspoke. And If the idea works, could I use some kind of variation of it if mine doesn't shoot far enough? Not sure how far mine will shoot at this point, s I don't have it connected to the pump yet.

Well I've decided to break this awkward silence with a question. Elxiah, have you thought about using an electronic fountain pump rather than a swiffer?

Lol, I thought you guys were having a life. Guess not.

 

[BUTTONSPAM4DAYZ]

Woah guess i'm late but can't you take apart a electric automatic water gun and use the pump to shoot out the web??

 

[BUTTONSPAM4DAYZ]

I'm pretty new to the site but I've read alot on the web shooters and working on the formula right now.

 

[BUTTONSPAM4DAYZ]

Here is my nozzle i'm going to use. Can ya'll tell me if i should use it or not.It's metal so i can put a heating coil on it.

How do i post a pic?

You gotta put it on a image hosting website, like deviant art, and copy the image URL.

I don't think it will put out enough pressure for it to be useful or even work.
If it does, the fluid is much more dense, so I won't go the distance water goes in the gun. (Not that it was very far anyway)

Anyway, welcome to the forum.

Their nearly the same thing. And I'll state it again, I am no longer working on this design. It was an idea that i abandoned 2 years ago.

Well with acetone, the fluid would have the viscosity of water. But there are several reasons why you couldn't use a water gun. Plus most people are trying to make it wrist mounted.

If your talking about the reaction the acetone might have with the plastic, I think he was talking about taking apart the inner mechanism of the gun. I have no idea how it works though.

thats one reason, but there are still other reasons. It's made for water. ours is made for shooting webs. its not the same thing. so we have to make a device tailored to our needs.

That too.

 

[BUTTONSPAM4DAYZ]

Will ethyl acetate work the same as acetone?

 

[BUTTONSPAM4DAYZ]

For my first time making a functioning web shooter I need it to at least shoot 6 feet. As for the weight I need at least around 3 pounds. My current formula is Turpentine, PVA, Contact cement, Polyterpene, Latex, And a little water.the substance is going to be like maple syrup and I have a high pressure nozzle.

 

[BUTTONSPAM4DAYZ]

But my problem is wouldn't the webbing come out like silly string or won't stay attached to the nozzle? And if it does stay attached wouldn't it be easy to pull out?
