World Web shooter shop class - Part 4

For those of you who haven't seen it, here's the link to the Web Talks playlist, the step-by-step web shooter series I'm releasing periodically. Currently the introduction and first episode are out.

Hello, I have a website just in case you want to take a look at it.
http://aswprojects.webs.com/web-shooters

 

[Elxiah]

i am very sorry i havent been here often. I decided to stay away as much as possible in order to resist the temptation to work on it. As I have stated before, other than a few minutes to chat, my current life situation doesnt allow for much free time. Just came to say that I have not given up on the project, merely postponed it.

Im currently working on a web shooter and everything is fine and good but I just don't know how to make a trigger I really need help....can someone explain how to do it? Please

 

[BUTTONSPAM4DAYZ]

It depends on your design, like my combustion shooter uses an electric igniter as a switch. May I ask what your design is?

Correct. An electicly regulated shooter would just use a button connected with some wires. A digitally electronic shooter would need a micro controller as well. It all depends.

This would make an awesome prop for a Halloween costume.

So I made a new formula a couple days ago. It had all of the properties that you would need for webbing. You would be surprised that PVA glue and laundry detergent can create such a sticky, strong, elastic formula.

So the proportions are:
1/4 of a cup of PVA glue,
A teaspoon of laundry soap,
And it has all of those properties by itself but if not sticky enough or elastic enough add some rubber cement and a little more soap!
P.s. It hasn't broke yet!

The guy is a real jerk in the comments section, but hey-- it's a pretty cool device. Especially the sound it makes when he charges it.

I am thinking about buying this, but i wanted to know if it looks good? http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Amazing-Spiderman-Costume-Replica-High-Quality-/271737654589?

Don't know if this thread is still active, but would love to know any final, successful designs that you all came up with.

 

[Think]

Google Spiber, AMSilk, Or Araknitek, real companies making REAL synthetic spider string, REAL bio steel, I think we're done looking for a formula, we should just wait until it comes to market later this year.

 

[Elxiah]

they're all fake. its not real. if it was real, it would revolutionize all engineering sciences. but its not. its just meant to trick you and take your money.

 

[Elxiah]

trust me, ive seen them before.

Thread is still active, the main contributers are just busy.

Now I'm new here but I understand u guys r working on creating s formula and shooters well the drying don't u think if u were sending it shooting through the air it would dry faster than usual? If u use something like cyanoacrylate glue, would it be possible to mix that with Pva glue?

 

[SUPERIORELI]

And as an elastomer use neoprene or silicon rubber if u guys r looking for strong materials that biodegrade. Honestly I find this easier. I would use as the formula:

Elastomer- neoprene and Pvc

Adhesive- Pva and cyanoacrylate or loctite super glue

Solvent- acetone and alcohol

 

[SUPERIORELI]

Sorry if anyone finds me being rude but it's not way the strength but how much it stretches and r u sure this is still active?

 

[SUPERIORELI]

It's not strength it's the stretch span...������������ I think that's y it's harder and if it's not too much can u guys email me all ur fluid designs and these examples weren't tested just so u know.

 

[Peter Parker123]

Is anyone still posting???

 

[Wadaltmon]

Is anyone still posting???

Sometimes. Just been really busy lately

 

[Peter Parker123]

hey have u guys looked into electro spinning?

 

[Wadaltmon]

hey have u guys looked into electro spinning?

Yes, but it usually requires really high amounts of electricity to get it working effectively, so we haven't used it really.

 

[Peter Parker123]

Interesting... Well if we can't use that then dry spinning seems like the way to go. I don't want to use a heating coil for my webshooter. Seems to experimental. I'll probably look into dry spinning.

 

[Peter Parker123]

Guy's I know this will sound crazy. But it might save time and work if we look into real spider silk. We could find out what chemicals make it up and figure out our own adhesive for it. Spider silk has: antimicrobial properties, hypoallergenic, strong, biodegradable,and not to mention solidifies instantly. It doesn't need a heating coil. It's estimated that a web line with real spider silk with 1 inch diameter can stop a freakin' fighter jet!!!
