I use a stungun ignition. I solved my problem. It was because my chamber was too l...

I used a taped up ball until it fit snugly in my barrel when doing the tests. But it seemed to me that the propane was less powerful than the hairspray.

Hairspray more powerful than propane

I have been doing some field tests and the results are really wierd. Maybe it's just me. I have a .88:1 C:B ratio combustion launcher. The chamber is 4" SCH 40 @ 18.5" long and the barrel is 3" SCH 40 @ 36.5" long. After doing some math I figured my chamber volume to be 232.25 cubic inches. This can...

This is one of my first combustion cannons. It features a 4" SCH 40 chamber @ 18.5" long with a 3" SCH 40 barrel @ 36.5" long. It also has direct propane injection. Let me know what everyone thinks.

Help with propane injection

I just finished building your propane injection system and my cannon fires but it is really weak. My chamber is 4" SCH 40 and 18" in length. I tried counting to 30 seconds but the combustion is so weak it barely shoots out anything. I mean it does ignite but the combustion is real weak.
