Making a 330+ Joule Air Cannon
Ғылым және технология
In this Video I build an air cannon from a fire extinguisher capable of putting out over 330 Joule at 13 bars pressure. If I had bigger guts it could easily put out more energy...
It can be used as a potato canon or to launch anything that's laying around :D

Nice job! Love that you through in some math to analyze the performance. 🤙
I've never seen a fire extinguisher with that large of an opening. Replace that silly little valve with a two inch ball valve and use a pneumatic actuator to open it and you will be blowing holes through car doors.
Hi ! Be very careful using compressed air doing anything ! The Schrader valve can actually be your death sentence ! 😢

You've built the speargun from the Poor Man's James Bond. It was a large book from the 80's, showing lots of DIY "devices."

Arc welding galvanized steel, like this pipe, damages your lungs with zinc oxide. This has to be done carefully.
very wise to not weld the tank. Simple but effective.
impressive, well done
Un gusto Amigo... Me gusta tu creatividad, sigue asi!!! Un abrazo desde URUGUAY
I thought the compressor was going to explode with so many pumps hahaha nice toy
You should use a fan when welding bro. That is some toxic smoke you're inhaling
Wife: honey when are you going to come in for dinner? Dude: soon as I’ve finished building and testing my fire extinguisher cannon I’m making for KZread….. wife: I think we need to have a talk
Nice build

Thank you! It was very fun!
I like that idea for a portable tire inflater. Fill it up . Throw it in the trunk.
Ótimo invenção
Get it to fire 10 mm Steel Bearings rather than Potato Wedges then you will be talking 👍
imagine what could you do with a compessor instead of a bike pump

seen one in the workshop doh
Doing a few changes you can power up upgrading the airflow
Yeah good
imagine getting shot by a 1kg metal rod going 70 mph
It sure sent that pipe a long way ! Did you get it back?

After a bit of searching in the long grass I eventually found it, yess!
Brother home many psi a fire extinguser can handle
Pumping it up with a bicycle pump was hilarious. At Harbor Freight you can get an electric tire pump for 10 dollars. will a golf ball fit in it?

I usually pump it up with my shop compressor which goes to about 9 bars. I only use the bicycle pump for pressurizing it to 13 bars afterwards, but even that sure is a good workout ;D. Whether a golfball will fit depends on the barrel you're using. But with the pipe I used it actually fits!
jetzt mit 150 bar und gezogenem lauf
👍🏽
You'd be able to shoot the rod extremely far is the barrel of the air cannon was only a little bigger then it
Идея хорошая
What about using a co2 extinguisher that's full.

How many psi did you pump it up to?

I did 13 Bars wich is around 190psi, this was the maximum I was comfortable with

@@Mika_357 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm building one of these out of a small oxygen tank from a cutting torch. It should handle 200psi with no problem, if yours held 190. Thanks again!

My pleasure! In my case I was concerned about the car tire valve, it was only Rates for 10 bar max.(145psi)

valve is Tir valve??

Yup it‘s a Tire valve!
A grenade launcher perhaps
Valve is too small.. not dumping your tank fast enuff😢
