Water Gun #1 Update

If you shoot water balloons, you will need to use wadding. Wadding can be thin paper cups, tissue paper by the pound (just kidding!), or something of that sort. Feel free to see what "wadding" works the best...Anyways, Enjoy!

Water Gun #1

Alright! Water Gun #1 is here! This is actually a cannon that blasts water at high speeds, huge amounts, and is easy to build. It also shoots water balloons...Here are instructions... Enjoy!

P.S. I assume that you know how to properly glue PVC together...And the other basics of working with PVC pipe...
P.P.S. This: P&G stands for "primer and glue". By-the-way, you'll need to cut pieces of pipe to these specs: 3"x18", 2"x4", 2"x26"

First, let me explain what everything is. The red rectangle is the air fill valve. You can get one at an Ace Hardware. This screws into the dark blue 3" plug. The 3" plug attaches to a piece of 3" pipe that is 18" long. The other end of that screws into the green 3"x2" reducer. Then, there is a 4" piece of 2" pipe. Next is the light blue rectangle is a 2" ball valve. A 26" piece of 2" pipe is the barrel.

Now, let the construction begin!

Take a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the big end of the air fill valve. Drill a hole, straight down, in the center of the 3" plug. Screw the air fill valve into that hole. Second, glue the 3"x18" pipe into the plug. Glue the other end of that pipe into the 3"x2" reducer.

Next, take the 4" piece and glue it into the 2" side of the reducer. That done, glue the ball valve onto it. Lastly, glue the 2"x26" piece of PVC into the other side of the ball valve.

That's it! You're done! Let it dry overnight (or 12 hours).

To use with water: Close ball valve, fill barrel with water, pressurize container to 60 PSI. Open ball valve quickly to shoot!

To use with water balloons: Close ball valve, slide a water balloon down the barrel, pressurize container to 60 PSI. Open ball valve quickly to shoot! Play carefully with pressures!

Water Gun

Hey everyone! Check out this! "This" is my water gun that is currently in development. It is a backpack-style squirt gun with: High output, huge capacity, adjustable-flow nozzle, and it is easy to build. This shoots farther than any Super Soaker, longer than any Super Soaker, and outputs more water than any Super Soaker! I will update you on this...

Cya,

How have you all been enjoying the Crazy? I hope you have...Here is a funny little dialog between my Dad and one of his friends. This particular friend had been going through some economically hard times, and work was getting bad...Anyways, as they were talking, this is what I heard:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dad: How have things been going?
His friend: Not that great. Business has gone down like 20% in the past few weeks.
Dad: Yeah, well, we know things are going down hill. But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
His friend: It’s a train.

Wisdom teeth...

Happy 4th everybody!

Ok, everyone, meet Chip! Alright, so if you recognize me, you will realize that my cheeks are swollen like a stuffed chipmunk's mouth. Reason: I had my wisdom teeth out on Thursday (7-2-09). For all of you who are going to be at the water fight tomorrow (7-5-09), I should hopefully be there...If the pain isn't too bad...

Hope to see you there,
