So epoxy can, Moon, can withstand hybrid-level pressures, and an additional set of holes wouldn't weaken the chamber too much? (The cobras seem fine )
I may consider a similar, albeit less equipment requiring method, motor...

Metal Chamber and Ignition
Hey guys, have you all ever had problems with steel chambers and high voltage ignition sources? What sort of insulation do you use?

Chamber Lengths
Hey guys, I currently have a 2' , 2" chamber with additional reducing couplings on the sides (to fuel, and to barrel). I've noticed this is a pretty long and thin barrel, which the wiki said is conducive to DDT. Would you all recommend I shorten the chamber? I mean I could get more reducing coupling...

If you're savvy with electronics, you can get a CRT TV and get the transformer they use to supply high voltage (the flyback), hook it up with a more or less easy to build circuit (555 timer or 2N3055, but the latter generally fails) and give yourself some pretty high voltage. It's harder to make but...

It takes a special kind of stupid to research the topic and leave thinking that air/propane at 1X might rupture SCH40 steel. That's the funniest thing I've heard in awhile :D Otherwise, the problem you seem to have (as others have indicated) is too long of a chamber and improper mixing. Give it som...

Yeah, I guessed that much. What I'll probably do is keep the stungun close to the chamber and connect to the inside with wire / electrodes leading to the a spark strip, (made with PCB? maybe an insulated coathanger) and have a long range switch for the actual stun gun. But of course the stun gun won...

Stun Gun
Hey-o. I bought a stun gun the other day and the clerk would only sell me one that was charged (basically plug in the wall). How should I dismantle it without shocking myself? Also, how well do stun guns work at handling high pressure chambers, such as in a hybrid?

Hybrid Ball Valves
Hey guys. I'm building a hybrid, plan to take it up to 10X - 15X, and I have the fueling system inline with the chamber, as with other cannons I've seen in the showcase. Thing is, will a ball valve between chamber and fueling system have to be steam rated, or will a rating for inert gases suffice? I...
