Seconded.

Ya but do you get cable channels like hbo and cinnemax and so on?? This is what i am talkin about???

The only legal options are cable card, but it disables ripping but permits viewing. The other option is the "Analog Hole". Test chips are illegal and should not be discussed here. They are often shut down in a game of whack a mole so they generally are not a long term solution.

Digital TV has the option of disabling low resolution outputs thus plugging the analog hole. This is not in wide spread use yet because too many people still use analog TVs and this results in those being shut off causing the switchboard to be jammed due to the cable outage.

When they do block the low res outputs to block the analog hole the only analog hole left is the camcorder recordings off the screen. Many youtube news reports are posted this way. A camcorder shot of a TV screen. The quality is generally poor, especially the sound.

The downside of the analog hole is at analog resolution.

No, I won't help you defeat copy protection. Don't ask.

Now for something totally different. What is fair use of copyright material to create something new? Below is a bad lip reading remix.. This should not be outlawed. Warning. Video is about Poop.

@&*#(%?! awesome.

I didn't know you liked Senor Gif JSR.

I didn't know you liked Senor Gif JSR.

If I spent as much time machining as I do on memebase/failblog, I would be in a position to supply a small (and well regulated ) militia.

That's just beautiful, honestly if I could strip off the body panels from my landy I would. Your affinity for the Aeriel Atom indicates you know what I mean

I know exactly what you mean. Oh, and it's the 500 horsepower version of the Atom, by the way.

P.S. While we're on the subject of Senor Gif...

And yes, it is made out of Lego Mindstorm kits.

Didn´t know where I should say this but I tested my 1/2 bore burst disc hybrid today, scared the sh*t out of me with a mix of 5x (take a good thought, it´s just about 400 psi ). even through I had the ignition remote control .
DID NOT notice a big power compare to a 400 psi 3/4 piston cannon
So gonna stop making hybrids, they just don´t worth the courage I need to fire it (for a pneumatic I know it will fire when I pull the trigger, but in a hybrid, you never know what f**K it´s going to happen ). And why a hybrid when I can get 200 bar of air

Why did it scare you?
And comparing 1/2" against 3/4" isn't entirely fair

Just go to 10x mix, and you'll like the power

[wyz2285]

scared because I can hear the sparks then BOOM, when I were less prepared for a 10x I will need to reduce the spark size(looks like a tazer isn´t enough), so it will be even harder to ignite. 10x is more or less worth all the work (600 psi +-), but I´m going to stay with air same power and I will be shot when it will shot

[MrCrowley]

A taser is definitely enough to ignite a 10x mix, a basic piezo push-button is even enough. A 10x mix should be generating closer to ~1000PSI if you are using burst disks that will burst a little below that pressure. If you are hearing the ignition sparking before it is igniting, your mix is off. Fix your mix and it will go boom as reliably as a pneumatic when you depress the valve.

With a hybrid and pneumatic with more or less the same specifications and the same pressure, the hybrid will out perform the pneumatic unless you're shooting heavy projectiles ('heavy' is relative to the cannon, so I can't just give you a figure in grams).

Simulating two guns with the same specifications, one on HGDT and one on GGDT, the hybrid is giving me a muzzle velocity over 100ms greater than the pneumatic (440ms vs. 312ms). I know HGDT/GGDT can be a little unreliable when it comes to supersonic speeds but I think the point still stands; combustion gases kick air's ass when it comes to accelerating 'light' projectiles.


Edit: And if you have a cannon capable of containing 200bar, I'd make it a high-mix hybrid

that´s simple, a paintball tank with a homemade piston valve

With a hybrid and pneumatic with more or less the same specifications and the same pressure

I don´t want to get too close with a 500 psi chamber this perfectly mixed explosive gas inside

[Zeus]

Thing is, assuming you don't annoy the DDT gods, as MrC said, hybrids outperform pneubmatics by quite a lot, not to mention commpressing 147PSI for a 10X mix is far easier than compressing 1000 psi of air.

And because hybrids (obviously) make hot gases, they can exceed the speed of sound by quite a good deal. SB15 and MrCrowley regularly fire a 10X mix very close to themselves, so there's very little to fear.

Also, a hybrid is less likely to go off by itself, if a hybrid starts leaking, that's about all that happens, but a piston/diaphram/cascading burst disc launcher will fire. And a leak is far more likely to happen than a standard walled pipe is to burst.

And as labtec said, a 3/4 diameter projectile has twice the surface area of 1/2, and by what you've said the mix was off, so don't abandon them yet. And the noise is fun, pneubmatics don't compare.

OMFG you know the little sticker you get from maccas lately? well to day i dropped a red R because I don't collect. Later on in the day my bro was talking about how he needs the red R to will a red Holden cruze about 30k brand new. FML
