You
|
||||
I'm working on a very special project today, I'm getting ready to go to Shmookon here.
|
||||
I'd like to thank Larry Pesci from Paul.com for giving me a ticket to go to the conference,
|
||||
otherwise I wouldn't be going to the conference, I'd just be going up to a party for a night
|
||||
and sleep in my van and drive home the next day.
|
||||
So what I'm doing is I'm trying to create a Shmooball Cannon, now a Shmooball is a stress-releaf
|
||||
ball, one of those foam ones, and they use them at the conference when a speaker is talking.
|
||||
You can throw the Shmooball at the speaker to interrupt the speaker in order to ask a question
|
||||
or if you don't agree with what they're saying.
|
||||
Now I know last year somebody made a Shmoob Cannon that was a modified leaf blower.
|
||||
I've done some research on the internet and I see that people have made a ball launcher
|
||||
out of PVC using one piece as a pressure rise chamber and then a sprinkler switch, a sprinkler valve
|
||||
for, I suppose it's for landscaping purposes, a sprinkler valve to release the pressure
|
||||
and so pretty much you pressurize your PVC with a pressure tank or some CO2 and then you
|
||||
get one shot at about 40 to 80 psi which will launch a weighted tennis ball, something
|
||||
like a 100 to 200 feet and a good height and they do this, it's called a pneumatic antenna
|
||||
launcher.
|
||||
You can research that they use the ball, they put a fishing reel type set up on the end
|
||||
of the launcher and attach fishing line to the ball, shoot the ball over the top of
|
||||
trees and then they get the ball and lower it so they can get a hold of it and then you
|
||||
string an antenna up into the tree tops using air pressure and a valve to release the
|
||||
pressure suddenly.
|
||||
Now if anybody knows about making a potato gun, potato gun is PVC without a chamber on
|
||||
the end but instead of building up the pressure and releasing it with a valve you have a larger
|
||||
end with a screw-in cap, you spray some like a clampable gas in there like hair spray
|
||||
or something and you have an ignition switch from a camp stove, you flip the switch, it
|
||||
lights the gas and it sends the potato launching from the explosion from the compressed gas.
|
||||
I've decided I had a moment of inspiration, came up with something almost completely different
|
||||
and I'm not going to go, I don't want to go into all the details of the actual propellant
|
||||
quite yet.
|
||||
I'd like to leave that as a surprise for after the conference, but I have already been
|
||||
to the store, picked up a few little things that I'm going to need to build the launcher
|
||||
and it's very simple, designs, much like a regular potato gun, ever had a schmoo ball
|
||||
before.
|
||||
So I had to ask Larry what the size of a schmoo ball was and he says it's about two
|
||||
and three quarters of a niche, so he was using three-inch PVC pipe, so I went ahead and
|
||||
got myself a piece of three-inch PVC pipe, a coupler and a clean-out cap which if you
|
||||
were doing plumbing then you could have this outside of your plumbing system, so if you
|
||||
had a drain clog, you could take a cap off and run out of snake, which a snake is a
|
||||
plumbing cleaning device that you unwind into your plumbing system and it kind of breaks
|
||||
up the clog.
|
||||
So I got a cap screw in, clean out cap, I got a coupler and I got two cans of stuff
|
||||
here and one of them is the purple primer.
|
||||
Now if you're doing PVC you have to get primer, which usually is purple, they do make
|
||||
clear primer, but it's a little more expensive and there's regular PVC cement, now you're
|
||||
not actually gluing it as well, you're not gluing it like you think it might be.
|
||||
PVC, when you use the cement it actually bonds the two pieces together physically, not
|
||||
just by just making them sticky, making them stick together, it actually takes the two
|
||||
pieces and bonds them together.
|
||||
I'm getting ready to do, so I've got my work area here and I've laid a bunch of newspaper
|
||||
down so I don't get purple primer because it will stain permanently and I'm going to
|
||||
clean the PVC, then it's already cleaned, it's already dry and I'm going to just use the
|
||||
dremel here to kind of take the edge off of the pipe, which I'm going to be inserting
|
||||
into the coupler.
|
||||
I think I'd better put a safety goggles on to keep plastic shrapnel out of my eyes and
|
||||
I will also put on a dust mask here to keep from inhaling, particularly matter, because
|
||||
who wants to breathe in, you have PVC stuck in their eye, okay so all I've done is created
|
||||
a rounded leading edge on the PVC pipe here, that way when I insert it into the coupler
|
||||
it will not scrape the cement off of the edges of the wall so much and hopefully create
|
||||
a better fit because I did a little dry fire testing yesterday without it even glued
|
||||
together using my method of propulsion and I was, let's see, I was using a closed 12-ounce
|
||||
beer bottle with about an ounce or two ounces of liquid still in the bottom of it as my
|
||||
projectile and I had the cannon propped up against the well house kind of like a mortar
|
||||
at a very steep angle, I mean like it wasn't quite vertical, you know, it was maybe ten
|
||||
degrees off of vertical, something like that and I test fired two or three shots with
|
||||
the longest shot being about a little over a hundred feet with a height of about, I'd
|
||||
say you know another 50-75 feet shooting it horizontally, I'm fairly certain I could
|
||||
launch a glass beer bottle about 200-250 feet or so, so I've got the leading edge trimmed
|
||||
up and so now I think I'm just about ready to prime and prepare to glue my coupler and
|
||||
my end cap here, do some sections, actually I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to round
|
||||
off the end cap as well which fits into the coupler so that way I can just go ahead
|
||||
and glue everything all at once, I think I mentioned I was using a Dremel to do my sanding
|
||||
for me, it's a Dremel Lithium Ion cordless, it's 10.8 volts, 5,000 to 35,000 RPM model 800
|
||||
and I've got to tell you it's my wife got it for me for Christmas, she's the last year
|
||||
of the year before, the battery holds a charge for a really long time, it's got a little
|
||||
metal hook, a metal ring on the bottom so if you wanted to hang it up you could hang it
|
||||
up and use the shaft attachment if you're doing some detail work which I really recommend
|
||||
if you're doing some kind of artistic carving because it takes the weight of the Dremel
|
||||
out of your hand and lets you just use the tip kind of like a stylus or a pen so you
|
||||
can more accurately do your creative endeavors, so first thing I'm going to do is I'm going
|
||||
to do the primer here and the top is, oh they're pretty good, I found that sometimes
|
||||
you have to get a little creative getting the tops off of these things because they tend
|
||||
to go in there pretty good, go figure considering it's a volatile substance and you don't want
|
||||
to accidentally spill it, so now I've got to find some wrench, some sort, I guess I can
|
||||
get your I can hit it, try to wrench, vice grips, chisel that might work, just something
|
||||
to loosen the cap up, just a little bit, I'm sure plumbers that are using it usually
|
||||
have some sort of plumbing wrench available, so if they won't open up they can figure
|
||||
something, okay, wrench is just a little wrench isn't going to work, needle nose pliers
|
||||
are going to work, so I'm going to pick a cap up here, chisel, see if I can get it loosened
|
||||
up here, that doesn't work, I'll find, I'll add some vice grips but I used them on my
|
||||
last project, I don't exactly remember what I did with them when I was done, which is
|
||||
always a cherished thing to do, I think I kept the chisel just right because it's got
|
||||
curves around it and I could get it turned, all the reason I'm using a chisel by the way
|
||||
is because it was the first thing I found and it's probably not the best thing to use but
|
||||
you know I was going to use a flathead screwdriver but I said it was the first thing I found,
|
||||
chisel are actually generally pretty freaking sharp, but I used this one when we were fitting
|
||||
in the house, doing the floor, and so I'm pretty sure it's not, the sharp is too
|
||||
in the shed, okay, well windy tonight, but I have found my trusty and only slightly rusty
|
||||
vice grips, which I will definitely be able to remove the top of this cannon primer, okay,
|
||||
now I'll take one second, get the right tool for the job, okay now you want to prime the
|
||||
whole thing, the whole area where you'll be fitting the piece together, I'm going to do
|
||||
this in sections, so first I'm going to prime one side for the clean out, for the end cap
|
||||
screw on, now it slides into the coupler and purple stuff is kind of messy so that's
|
||||
why I've got all clothes on here, I'm holding the fitting upside down and the primer doesn't
|
||||
have to be wet, it can dry, so if you happen to make a mess you can take a second to grab
|
||||
a paper towel and clean up a little bit of the excess if you want it to kind of look
|
||||
like a nice, well if you want it to look nice you can either get the clear primer or you
|
||||
can mask off areas of the PVC that you don't want stained, so I've got my PVC cement here,
|
||||
got the area to prime, the most important part of the seam is the bottom two-thirds because
|
||||
the sticking action is going to happen, so be sure to use plenty of cement and I'm just
|
||||
going to take my end cap and slide it in with a twist, make sure I get a good tight seal on it
|
||||
and that's that part there, I guess I'm going to take a screw out just in case I make a mistake,
|
||||
I wouldn't want my end cap to stick in place, I'm going to do the same thing to the other side of my
|
||||
coupling, again I'm holding it angled down, applying a liberal amount of primer to the inside of the
|
||||
coupler, make sure it's evenly good and purple, I guess it's a good thing about it being colored is that
|
||||
you can see the evenness of the application, okay, I'm done with the primer, so I'm going to go ahead
|
||||
put the top back on that and get ready to attach the coupler to the end of the PVC tube here,
|
||||
go ahead and kind of brush it off, make sure there's no loose PVC flakes on there to interfere with the
|
||||
weld and then just apply PVC cement over the primer, be sure I get the whole area coated, all right,
|
||||
nice and good there, nice and even, wipe off these little drips, my paper towel, just slide it on with the twist,
|
||||
yeah, so I dried fire it, I didn't dry fire it, I fired it live yesterday, after I bought the parts,
|
||||
just to see how well I thought it was going to work, and truly impressed with the results,
|
||||
one particular test, with a large amount, not a large amount, but I use a different method of charge, I use a
|
||||
different type of charge to launch the projectile, and the amount of pressure it created actually blew the
|
||||
unglued end cap off of the PVC pipe, and so it gave me a little idea as to the actual, you know,
|
||||
amount of pressure being created, another thing I noticed was, another thing I tried to launch,
|
||||
was an empty beer can, and when I went to retrieve the beer can, why I didn't find as far as the
|
||||
bottle, which had more mass, so I guess it traveled farther, but I didn't notice that the can,
|
||||
it had been partially crushed by the force of the charge, and I thought that was pretty interesting,
|
||||
so that glue's got to sit, but read the instructions here, that it's set for 24-48 hours,
|
||||
before applying pressure, well that sounds about right, it'll probably be another day or so before
|
||||
I actually get to test it anymore, now that it's glued up, and I've got a three-foot length here,
|
||||
which is pretty big, and I've read that I can go down to about 19 inches, and I'll still have optimal
|
||||
range, apparently the projectile actually gets the pressure built up in front of it,
|
||||
and it slows the rate of the launch, so what I'd like to do is reduce the barrel length,
|
||||
and use the smallest charge possible, because it's really loud as hell, and one of the tests I did
|
||||
yesterday, it pretty much sounded like I was shooting off some kind of fire alarm, now I know
|
||||
what a shotgun sounds like in a 22, and it's somewhere in between a shotgun in a 22, and I'm
|
||||
planning on taking this to Washington DC, so what I essentially have here is half of a pipe bomb,
|
||||
that I'm planning on taking to the nation's capital, which that's a dumb idea, especially since I
|
||||
spent a week before I built it, googling around on how to build my bombs, so since I know that they
|
||||
have the ability to unnecessarily monitor my surfing habits, which of course, you know,
|
||||
Google monitors, everything you do, but all I would take would be to put two and two together and
|
||||
come to the wrong conclusion that I was trying to, you know, do something that I'm not, and okay,
|
||||
so I went to the store to get the pipe, and they had like a sheet, it must have been like a 10,
|
||||
15 foot piece of three inch PVC, I mean this thing was huge, and I was like yeah,
|
||||
I'll just take the whole thing, and then I got it up to the counter, I was like you know,
|
||||
I really don't need all this pipe, and so the guy offered to just cut me off a section, and so
|
||||
I guess he didn't feel like saw it all the way to it or something, because when he came back,
|
||||
he had, he'd just like broken three feet off of the end of the pipe, I mean it was all jagged,
|
||||
there was a point on it, it looked like he'd kill somebody with it, I mean, so first thing I did
|
||||
before I used it to launch was I cut off the jagged piece, and it's still, I still didn't get
|
||||
a really straight cut on it, because I left, I kind of left the hacksaw sitting out from the
|
||||
last project, and he got rained on, kind of rusty, and think about a rusty saw, is it's kind of hard
|
||||
to cut with it first, but after you get going, it just, the rust works off the blade, and it cuts
|
||||
fine again, and so it took me a minute or so to get it going, but once I got the blade cleaned off,
|
||||
and it started cutting, and it cut pretty straight, there's just a little lip here, so all I'm
|
||||
going to do now is, I'm going to just kind of round off the, the leading edge for aesthetic purposes,
|
||||
in case I decide to just leave it a three-foot mortar, and I don't do anything else to it.
|
||||
All right, that's a lot better, and I'm still using my safety goggles and my dust mask to prevent
|
||||
inhalation of PVC, and get it in the eyes, wash my hands, I've got powdered plastic on my hands now,
|
||||
and since this is not a Chinese cooking show, I won't be serving plastic. I will talk a little bit
|
||||
about the type of charge that I'm using, I'm not going to go into detail, like I said, I don't really
|
||||
want to spoil the mystery, as it were, pretty much what I'm doing, is I've experimented with
|
||||
using both plastic and glass bottles. Well, it turns out that the chemical reaction that I create
|
||||
get really freaking hot. I mean, one of the ingredients is water, and everything's got
|
||||
fucking water in it, right? So, the reaction is between water and one of the other elements,
|
||||
and it's catalyzed by a third element, so it's really a trinary compound creating a large
|
||||
amount of pressure in a small space, which if you know anything about explosives, an explosion
|
||||
is expansion plus compression, like say you take gunpowder and put it in a dish, it's just going
|
||||
to make a flash. If you take gunpowder and put it in a metal casing and prevent it from
|
||||
expanding rapidly, it will make an explosion. So, what I'm doing is I'm creating a quite
|
||||
somewhat volatile chemical reaction in a enclosed space. In this case, I'm using 12-ounce
|
||||
Mickey's beer bottles, which they're called Mickey's Grenade. They have a white mouth and they
|
||||
have a screw on cap, which is perfect, because I put the ingredients into the bottle and I can
|
||||
screw the cap back on, and the expansive forces created will cause the top to pop off. The bottle
|
||||
doesn't explode because the cap is the weak link in the chain there. So, what I do is I put the
|
||||
ingredients into the bottle and drop them down the tube, and I've got like maybe 30 seconds to a
|
||||
minute, depending on how much water I add before the pressure inside the bottle is large enough
|
||||
to blow the top off. So, after I put the charge, the charge would be the bottle with the
|
||||
ingredients. I drop the charge down in the tube, and then I drop my projectile on top of it,
|
||||
so that's the process there. So, now the only thing left to do is wait, I've got to wait 24 hours,
|
||||
which I won't wait 24 hours. If the weather's okay tomorrow, I will go out and do a test
|
||||
fire tomorrow that should be pretty nice. I will be able to get an idea of the size of the charge
|
||||
I need. Then, for the conference, I will pre-mix the ingredients. Well, since once you mix them together,
|
||||
they become volatile. What I'll do is I can mix two of the ingredients together and they don't
|
||||
interact. They, you know, it's stable. And the third ingredient, I'll keep separate, and so when
|
||||
it's time to do a launch, then I will add the ingredients together and create explosion.
|
||||
All right, welcome back day two of the Schmoo Launcher project. I'm just getting set up here.
|
||||
A couple of beers. And the first thing I'm going to do is set up my camera, have a launching
|
||||
line, and then I'll pace off from this line so I can get a consistent reading of the actual
|
||||
range of the gun, the cannon, 73 paces, which that's something like, well, I'll get to take measure
|
||||
out now. Actually measure off how far one pace is from my heel to my toe, and so I can get an
|
||||
accurate idea of the actual range. So now I'm going to take a lighter to my firing area,
|
||||
so I can figure out how to best set up the shot here. I'm more interested in the range
|
||||
than the actual firing of the device, but pay the camera set up and go do a trial shot just to make
|
||||
sure everything looks okay, and then I will set up my mixing station and prepare to do it for real.
|
||||
Hopefully I won't blow up and get the PVC shrapnel in me because PVC doesn't show up on
|
||||
show up on X-ray, so I think I can fake it. I really don't love how I'm going to put it on my shoulder
|
||||
or hold it down at my hip. I don't know if I'd rather get probably a shrapnel in the hip
|
||||
than in the neck. Okay, I took a little test video there. I'm just going to review it.
|
||||
Now, okay, well, video looks good. I'm going to drink beer.
|
||||
If you're ready to mix me up a batch to charge my machine here, let's see, I've got
|
||||
done. I know I've got enough for two, maybe three total launches. I'll go check around and see
|
||||
what other kind of stuff I have because I don't want to boil. I'm going to get a little creative
|
||||
here today. I might have some RPG action going on, but it just depends on how well things work.
|
||||
Okay, what I'm going to do now is I'm almost ready for the final phase of the testing project here.
|
||||
All I've got left to do is prepare my concoction and add some water and other stuff to it,
|
||||
and it will be good to go. I'm showing it down. I've got enough bottles here
|
||||
to where I can do at least one appropriate launch. I can play around and I like you do two more,
|
||||
just depends on the quality of my caps because I know I don't know how recycling them is going to do.
|
||||
Once they've been fired, cold beer, actually they're not cold, they're room temperature suitable.
|
||||
Tonight I'm, once again, drinking warm walkies best ice. I think what I've decided to do is
|
||||
I'm just going to do a little shot from the hip model horizontally and I don't know what to expect
|
||||
from it, exactly. I will court him and make my 15 minutes fame here, just a hand at the solution
|
||||
to the bottle. Shake it up real good. I'll drop it in the tube. Drop it in the tube.
|
||||
Well, that was different. I'm not sure exactly what happened. It seems that
|
||||
the bottle got hung up in the tube. Not quite sure what happened, but I've got to do one more
|
||||
test here. That was a miserable failure. I don't know. I must have used too much water. I'm not
|
||||
really not really sure. I'm trying to do it. Well, at this don't do it. I'm pretty likely to
|
||||
blow my freaking hand off this time. Don't really know what happened. We went off.
|
||||
Seems like it had a decent amount of pressure. The projectile just didn't just didn't fly.
|
||||
Maybe my set of this camera shot. I gotta do it. So I'm going to do it again. It's time to bless
|
||||
this water. Let me see. I can't really imagine what went wrong. The car in the world.
|
||||
Shoot the car. It looks like a star. So I'm just going to try this experiment again.
|
||||
Well, I almost killed myself at that time. The small amount of water just happened to make
|
||||
thing go off a little too soon. So now it's going on to the even more risky, dangerous
|
||||
trial attempt. The time now out of my bottles, which I planned on using, and worked so well
|
||||
in the initial testing. I'm not really sure. Well, that last cap had been used once before. So
|
||||
I'm fairly certain that that has something to do with it. Now I know we have to use one of these
|
||||
bottles again. So I'm going to take it back over here. This should be a dosage. And for the first
|
||||
try, I'm not even going to hold it in my hand. I'm just going to record it because it's a good
|
||||
chance that something could really explode. I don't want to be that guy that gets blown up.
|
||||
I mentioned that I've been choosing 12 ounce makies. I won't liquor beer bottles because they don't
|
||||
melt. The top just blows off once it builds up pressure. But with the case of soda bottles,
|
||||
they get hot. So I am going to use more water to prevent the explosion from happening prematurely.
|
||||
In other words, before I can get the fuck out of the way. This should work. Now I only got a
|
||||
limited amount of stuff left. So this is going to have to be the official grand finale. I've got to
|
||||
make this work. I'm going to go all RPG areas. This one. I'm going to keep talking this and see
|
||||
just how crazy it is. And a little less water and it's not going to work at all.
|
||||
We would work about this in the glass bottles. So with the plastic bottle, it starts to expand
|
||||
right before it explodes. So if the first bottle doesn't blow up before the second bottle starts
|
||||
expanding, then I'm just going to have a double explosion in my chamber, which is probably just
|
||||
going to get hard to clean them with a fucker out. So on that note, I will not be
|
||||
making the RPG using two plastic bottles today. If I do plan on making a grenade,
|
||||
then I will be using a glass bottle for the grenade as well. So I am almost ready here. Of course,
|
||||
this is a part of my great one. Getting ready to achieve greatness. This should be good.
|
||||
I wind up the shot. My spear box target. Best I can.
|
||||
Wait for the traffic to go by. Getting everything ready here. Might have used too much water at
|
||||
time. You can usually hear the plastic one before they're about to go off. It kind of makes
|
||||
groaning sound. I must use way too much water. Nope, here we go. Here we go. So I'm just going to
|
||||
have to know. Fizzled out again. That's the problem with the plastic bottles is that, like I said,
|
||||
it's hot. They don't melt rather than explode. Okay, well, what to do now? Because I could try a glass
|
||||
bottle with a used top one more time. Plenty of water in it and hope for the best.
|

A little more air. Plenty of freaking water. So I want to have plenty of time to get the hell out of
|
||||
the way. I know that's way too much water. Okay, well, this is going to be it. I'm sure I'm
|
||||
even going to hold it. Be a man. Hold it. As I shoot. Just like I planned on. Now edit this whole
|
||||
thing out and act like I'm not retarded. This would bring you a future note to not take your face
|
||||
directly in front of the barrel of a mortar. No matter how safe you think, oh, this is not going
|
||||
to work at all. That cap is fucked. This is going to work very well. Very disappointing. Here we go.
|
||||
In my explosion. Again, toxic fuel. This has been a pretty big waste of time so far, but I did
|
||||
say that my shot wasn't going to work. The cap wouldn't go on just right. So now I'm going to have
|
||||
to get more water. I'm trying to shoot a whole more time. Bunch of water. I think it's a problem I've
|
||||
seen when I first tried this. I did it at a near vertical, near vertical. So I'm going to try to
|
||||
put shit down the water. I mean, I'm going to fill it just about all the way up. I don't know.
|
||||
When I had it vertical, it just compressed out the top and made explosion happen. But since it's
|
||||
at such a horizontal angle, I'm not certain that it's even going to work with the plastic bottles.
|
||||
I know I have a more making bottle. So what I'm going to do after this is this doesn't work.
|
||||
I go to town, I go to town tomorrow, and if this doesn't work, then I will get some more bottles
|
||||
that work because I only had one. I think I must have had some kind of issue with the projectile.
|
||||
So I'll be starting with fresh materials. This is a part of the learning process. It's really,
|
||||
you know, it's like you don't want to go into something not really knowing what to expect.
|
||||
A little more propeller. Shake it up. Re-e-e-e-e-e-e.
|
||||
Oh, cool. This stuff seems to be happening.
|
||||
Learning up the target. Raise the elevation slightly.
|
||||
Okay, check. So there's about to happen. Probably nothing. Here we go. This is it. It's a car coming
|
||||
to. It's not working. This is about again. I'm going to manage to make a big mess.
|
||||
Well, that almost worked. See, by looking at the bottle, that it banded properly, but it still
|
||||
got so hot that it melted to the plastic before it had a chance to, before it had a chance to fire.
|
||||
So, I guess I'm going to clean it with a mess and edit this down. Let's try it again.
|
||||
Disappointing, but not discouraged.
|
||||
How the hell are you? How the hell are you? This is Fox Fire, and I'm coming back to you once again
|
||||
to recreate the original testing of my Canon mortar device after a series of failures in the last
|
||||
attempt. I have decided to come back once again, revitalized with the audio quality sounds a
|
||||
little better. That's because it is. I've got a new cheapo headset. This time it's not a ear clip.
|
||||
It's a behind the head, and that's got some kind of big fancy name that I can't pronounce,
|
||||
but that's not important. So I'm ready to do my proof of concept. Once again, this time I'm going
|
||||
to set it up in mortar mode. I've got just about everything ready to go here, and I'm going to
|
||||
get it set up. So all I have to do is add water, turn on the camera, and set my charge, and run
|
||||
away. So that's what I'm going to do now. So I'm going to go set the camera, and there will be
|
||||
some video of this available somewhere. If you know me, I've probably shared it with you.
|
||||
If I haven't shared it with you, then you might see when the camera is recording, adding water.
|
||||
That should be plenty.
|
||||
Charge is set. Safety goggles on. I'm going to step back and wait for the boom.
|
||||
Then kind of a fun day. Yesterday we had a 65 mile an hour winds. There wasn't any storm,
|
||||
just some hellacious wind. So I had to spend a good part of the afternoon cleaning up the yard,
|
||||
and currently violating the burn band. I actually surprised the fire department didn't show up,
|
||||
because I burnt a foam mattress cover. You know when I was thinking, okay, it'll
|
||||
just got a small burn smoke, and that thing might turn into a fucking mushroom cloud like the
|
||||
second I threw it on the fire. It was insane. Okay, I'm expecting something to happen here.
|
||||
I might not have used enough solution, but that's the part of a trial and error.
|
||||
If it looks like I need to add about twice the amount of solution, then I added this time.
|
||||
It's kind of hard. I mean, I should have started out with accurate measurements and done it all.
|
||||
Scientific methods, fabulous. Then I would know exactly how much of X, how much of Y,
|
||||
and how much of C would have needed. But it's more fun to experiment, I think, to do it this way.
|
||||
I had our monomy of when I was in high school, my chemistry teacher actually let me make
|
||||
gunpowder. Lacking the ancient Chinese formulas, I had to guess the appropriate mixture of
|
||||
salt, Peter, charcoal, and sulfur. Okay, this is going to go hot quick.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
Check. Oh, shit. It's aimed straight up. There we go. That should work pretty good.
|
||||
See if I'm going to scare the neighbors.
|
||||
God damn. That was a fucking hang time. That thing was in the air for a good couple of seconds.
|
||||
Well, I think we are well on the way to success here. So since I put a unscrupulous bottom,
|
||||
I should be able to extract the charge without dumping it. That bottle is long gone, long freaking
|
||||
gone. Okay, so I do know I just, since I have measured out for the most part what I'm using,
|
||||
I now know pretty much exactly how much stuff I need to mix together. Now it's pretty nice.
|
||||
Now it could be that with the change in angle, see it worked really well at a vertical angle. I mean,
|
||||
I didn't even see where the fucking thing went. I mean, the bottle must have been like,
|
||||
must have gone up like 40 feet or something. Shit, I don't even know. I mean,
|
||||
I thought it had misfired because I didn't hear the thing. I didn't see the thing anywhere.
|
||||
So it must have gone up over the trees and landed like 150 feet into the woods because I didn't
|
||||
even see it here. All I did was hear a thunk out there somewhere and I have no idea where. I've
|
||||
been the habit now of pre-preparing that way it doesn't take so long to record the show here.
|
||||
So I've got most of my stuff ready to go. Ready to just add water. Oh, systems check.
|
||||
One charge, one projectile, one tube. Okay, everything is just about ready to go. Just
|
||||
get a camera and head water. It should be that easy. But I found nothing is ever
|
||||
ever easy. Yeah, we got a hell of a windstorm.
|
||||
Half the counties in the state have some kind of fire in them. The governor declared a state
|
||||
of emergency and called out the National Guard to help out. Okay, here we go. Check
|
||||
there for water. Check. I kept it and go on. That's not going to work. That one's going to be a dud.
|
||||
The cap got cross threaded. Like I said, what can go wrong? Well now we know. Now we know what can
|
||||
go wrong. So try again. New charge. It's going to pop. It's going to pop. It's going to pop.
|
||||
No, not. It's probably just going to steam a whole lot. One of these people looking. Oh, great.
|
||||
The lady next door is. Oh, now I've got an audience. Trim into not glass, not glass, not glass.
|
||||
Well, it's time I'm going to be more careful when I put the top on. Okay. Top of something good.
|
||||
Charges in. Second charge is in lightly. First, I'm going to do from the hip. Any second now.
|
||||
Here comes the car. Great. Nice. Success. We have explosive. Listen to that.
|
||||
Poisonous toxic chemical reaction. Hi. Okay. Well, they did not go quite as far as I had expected. Let's
|
||||
see. Let me stop the camera. And that will be the end of demo. Number one. Successfully completed.
