I haven't considered that....

That might be something to do! :D
I think i'll just use 22 mm copper for the pump, I rather keep my steel for other purposes.

At 11 bar my design gives about 500 joules with a 1m 26mm barrel, and a 20 gram projectile. Should be a lot of fun to shoot :)

I will use a little CampinGaz bottle for the chamber, it has been tested up to 15 bar, but I think it will be able to take much more.

Moah pressure is Moah noise+Moah powah=Moah fun!

Best thing it is completely legal now i'm 18 :D

Aus beat SA, Ind beat Eng and France have beaten Wales. I need the Kangaroos to beat the Kiwis (almost a sure thing), NZ to beat Zimbabwe (more or less a sure thing) and the Wallabies to beat the All Blacks (30% chance, maybe) to win $290 from a $10 bet :D

Were you only feeding him apple sauce? He was probably like "Dammit, wheres my McDonald's cheeseburger?!" (Long story short, I did the same thing when my Uncle fed me a cheese burger around that stage...)

I'm still in Sumpter Vally. Took the train trip through the gold ore fields. (I picked up a few samples) You have to get up early to work with the train crew as it takes a few hours to get up the steam pressure. Once some pressure is up, they move the train to take on water and wood. I got some morning pictures this morning. I was fireman on Friday and took the photo fall colors tour Saturday. I need head back to home this morning so I took pics, helped load wood and am getting ready to head home.

I enjoyed myself. The bad news is the 32 volt steam turbine was putting out 42 volts. My regulator for the 12 volt radio took exception to the high voltage and took an early retirement. I designed for up to 38 volts input. They didn't check the voltage for me beforehand, so it's back to the drawing board.

The accommodations were first rate. They put me up in this caboose for the weekend.

Did you pull a Colonel Mortimer, say "This train will stop at Tucumcari.", and pull the emergency stop cord? :)

No, I didn't. That train has an open car with benches and no roof for the photographers and two cabooses. The cabooses do not have a cord. They have a valve.

The piles of rock are tailings from a gold mine.

In the middle of the caboose in the capula is this gauge. The pipes lead down to a valve..

Sugary high GI breakfasts aren't doing your child any good, you should be feeding him things high in protein and stuff like that, like eggs and such, if you want him to grow big and strong.
