do any of you have ideas to improve the cooking oil cannon Hey there! There is always a way to improve it but first it needs to be built, tried and experimented. Currently, I have no tools, resources nor time to build such a device. If I am to build it one day I would surrely share it to everyone. ...

Hello folks, Just wanted to share random output from a chatbot and an image generator. Feed concepts to this thing of Musk and you get some food for thought. Like in this case, me asking it to design Tesla steam oscillator at high frequencies and a check valve for it. Might be good for some spudding...

Nice find! The lack of rim does make it seem like they are paratroop helmets: https://i.imgur.com/hEJdoxC.jpg Worth doing a bit of research as to the exact units involved as to my knowledge it was mostly Alpine troops in this area or operations. Indeed, I hope there is more stuff left on that locat...

That's pretty cool.

Indeed, I hope there is more stuff left on that location.

Now I am hooked.. Yesterday I found two Italian WW2 paratrooper helmets on a slope of a local mountain. This region where I live was under Italian military occupation from 1941 until Italy capitulated in 1943. Judging by the shape, I am pretty sure they were manufactured for paratroopers. My grandfa...

That's interesting! Reminds me of the Panzernest: Given the mobile nature of modern warfare, I don't think fixed positions have much value. The average infantryman has access to a plethora of weapons with shaped-charge warheads that can deal with meters of concrete. There's enough footage of ATGMs ...

Hello everyone! This is a shield I made a month ago, which I plan to test with my homemade airgun. It was cast in a TV parabolic antenna, two layers of rebar were used. Sand was washed several times to remove dirt and clay. As you will see, the outside section is the weakest. https://youtu.be/m7TGtb...

Has anyone been experimenting with this concept any further? Hello PCGUY :) :) I have not experimented with this concept yet, as I do not have the proper tools and resources. In my mind, I went through this idea many times. There are many brilliant individuals here on Spudfiles and if someone decid...

I don't know about you, but for me steel spheres are very valuable as ammo. I can never find enough of these from old ball bearings, and once fired outdoors, there is a low chance of recovery. I am aware than these projectiles cause drag, and from what I observed there is probably a loss of 5-10% of...

Hello everyone! This is my 6mm BB gun that is composed of a blow gun, bike pump adapter and a barrel made out of 2 pen tubes. The footage was recorded during the summer, but I totally forgot to upload this project. I built it in this way to save parts and to easily convert my regular ball valve airg...

Hello! :) At first glance the system seems quite complex in general. In my opinion, shaping the mix is going to be quite difficult and inaccurate, as I say, at the first sight of its publication. The issue of ignition is unnecessarily complex, having a small piezoelectric lighter that instantly spa...

Hello everyone! I would like to share with you this rather crazy combustion cannon design. I am fairly convinced that it could work, but there is always a chance that the design might be flawed. As always, I am looking forward to your opinions and ideas. To better understand how this cannon is suppo...

It can be a simple option, introduce the pulverized fuel and mix it with the air in your explosion chamber. T How would you vaporize alcohol, like a quick injection? Sounds great to be honest. Anyways, do you think it would be safe to fill the majority of the tank with alcohol and use less volume o...

So my suspicions are confirmed, definitely not a safe design. Perhaps the only possible way would be to fill the majority of the reservoir with alcohol and use as little pressurized air as possible. And even the military don't keep the fuel and oxidiser together in their *designed for purpose* fuel-...

Hello! Again, one of those hypothetical scenarios, it might sound silly but here is the idea. The device would be composed of two chambers connected with a hammer valve. The first chamber is the reservoir in which pure Alcohol (Ethanol) and pressurized air would be stored. The idea is also to heat t...
