I created a hold glue gun that goes on your wrist that is battery powered, Similar to the web shooter but thats all I got.
 
I gotta call it quits. I'm sorry guys, but I got too much school, and I promised I'd do a real life hulk costume by the Avengers release. It might take a while to make something that big. :(
 
Hey guys, I know I'm new to these boards, but I have been working on web shooters for over 4 years now, and finally have a simple, safe design (but no formula yet). This design runs on electricity (duh) and will, like Spidey's shooters, be activated by an electrode on the palm, and you must press the trigger twice in rapid succession for it to activate (to avoid misfires while just making a fist). It then basically works like a toothpaste tube, and can shoot pretty far (I've tested it with pressurized water in actual toothpaste tubes). I may be able to upload pictures in a bit of the water design, after I get both working.
 
Symbioteman- I understand. I rarely have time for anything anymore. I totally feel you. One of my friends really wants me to get on her hoverboard project.

Spidey 44-I agree

Wadaltmon-That sounds pretty cool! I'm really interested to see your design. I'm working on a prototype, but the pressure vessel is hard to come by.
 
Hey white widow, I saw your prototype web shooter pics, Did you ever post the materials or how to create that?
 
I consider that more of a blue print. It only takes a few supplies from your average home depot. If I wasn't so lazy I could go out and build it. That is, except for the pressure vessel. I still have to figure out a container that would work with a co2 cartridge, but otherwise, it would work well.

Hey guys I was thinking... Some bunsen burners have an adjustable needle valve, which regulates the flow of gas to the flame; we could implement something similar here to change the web's form.
Right now I'm just trying to build a cartridge that wont explode in my face.
 
That's a cool thought. Alright, since there are two new members, I figured you guys would like a recap of what's been going on.

The formula will take a while, but I will be able to complete a shooter within a couple months I believe. I have to become proficient with welding materials. As for the formula, I'm constantly toying with it. If you want to join in we'd be glad to have you. All we ask is that you ask as many questions as you want and that we should all be respectful, though we've never had any problems like that here.

So to recap what you've missed (I don't expect you to read all 20 web pages),

I'm white_widow and I started this after I was a spidey at a birthday party. Soon, thebatsam joined in. We toyed with the properties of adhesion and nylon. Shortly we realized that Nylon couldn't be kept in liquid form and nanoglue (our main glue) Was both difficult to obtain and needed to be kept at a high temperature.

Around this time spectacular23, stanleewannabe, symbioteman, and jma610 joined the project. We started toying around with solvents. The reason we didn't stick with shear thinning liquids by this point is because only some colloids have them, and scientists haven't found a trend yet. We made an entirely new formula. It had too many crosslinks (chemical bonds between monomers). Too many bonds will cause a substance to become brittle unless it is between a flexible monomer and a rigid one.

Finally, we began prototyping with cartridges. Jma created some good ones, and I created a shooter without cartridges. We started trying to design valves, because regular home depot valves don't cut it.


Finally, people started coming and going. Some talked about glue gun shooters and others about nylon glues. We split the forum into two topics.

So around this time, we have finally designed cartridges, shooter, valve, and started the formula. We have figured everything out, and now we are adding some extra feature designs. Soon we will be prototyping. Preferably, we would get a functional shooter by July 3rd, but that might be pushing it unless some of us go to college. I think the only ones in that age range are thebatsam, Stanleewannabe, and myself.




Now I have my question for you two: Why do you guys want to have the shooters? I'm just curious.

For Wadaltmon: The cartridge thing shouldn't be too hard. A standard pressurized can is really thin. It just depends on volume.
 
Cool stuff! I'll work on the valve today, and buy some IC chips for the electronics portions.
I want to have the shooters for a lot of reasons... I really can't pinpoint a single one that's most important. After I saw the movie when I was 9, I was obsessed... Dont know why, though.

Nice. That would be interesting if you could program that double tap feature. I haven't figured that out yet.
 
Mine actually uses a motor and a pressure valve... please post your blueprint, I would like to see it. Sounds pretty interesting.
 
Does it act like an air compressor? I'm interested to see how it works. As for the blueprint, I suppose it depends on a few things. As I look at the potential for this instamorph thing, I can make a variety of web shooters. So which one do you want?

Omnitrix style, original, amazing spiderman, The Amazing spiderman (the movie version), decaled with a spider on it, or crackers and milk style?

It Depends on what you want you shooter to look like and how much fluid you want it to hold.
 
No, it's not an air compressor... I'll try to get up pics, but I finally decided to use old glasses cleaner bottles for cartridges... Inexpensive and refillable.
As for the blueprint, I want a concealable one, that holds a lot of fluid... Like the original comic one.
Check Amazing SM #546.... the mugger flips put the trigger as if it was pulled into the shooter, that would be useful.
EDIT: Make that ASM #547, sorry.

Hmmm... Can you show me that part in the comics? I can't seem to find it. Anywho, if you want high capacity and for it to be concealable, then you need the crackers and milk shooter. (I think I'll call it the cam shooter.)

They can hold more pressure, formula, and little extras. Now the reason why it's more concealable is that it will bulge in the forearm. Depending on how you make the tank, you can make it look like muscle in the forearm. All of the other shooters will cause a bulky buldge in the wrist (not to mention the cartridges will all be really small.) It's hiding in plain sight under a costume or sweatshirt.
 
I don't have a clear water account... so I can't really see that. Sorry bro.

That's where he flips it out
Here's where the trigger is hidden...

Omnitrix style? Ben 10???
 
Yeah. Take the hour glass out, spray paint it silver, and add cartridges. (actually, if you life the watch face, you could make it look like a black widow logo.)
