Hybrid ThorJack
I redid my electrodes hoping to be able to do with my flash Mix40:
I have not done the system of electrodes / / but I opted instead for a plug HM.
You can also see a seal that helps me when I want to unscrew the spark plug to clean it.
I tested this config up to 40bar and no worries, the spark is good.

can you give me the exact diameter of the copper pipe? It's easier to make the sabots for a smoothbore barrel

Yes, and also there's a lot less friction drag - that's why modern tanks have smoothbore barrelsPetitlu wrote:But in a smooth barrel not rotating the bullet ...
Note with a sphere or an arrow that's not important ...
What's the thickness of the copper?will support the smooth barrel Mix40?
What does this mean exactly - did you put it inside an iron tube?covered with iron

Shouldn't be a problem.
I've done some machining in the meantime, i apologise that the workmanship is quite shoddy and rough, I don't have much free time at the moment - but it should all fit well and give you some good results
There's 5 8mm bearing sabots for your rifled barrel, 4 collars and pusher plates for your smoothbore barrel and 3.4mm diameter nails that should slip on without modification, and two tail sections that would require you to cut the head off the nails.

No worries, will post them tomorrow looking forward to your results.Petitlu wrote:Thank you!
I can not wait to test all these shoes!
I'm hoping the centrifugal force on the 8mm sabots in the rifled barrel will help the sabot spread and separate.
Don't bother too much, they are going to be fired after allI will remove the burrs, no problem!
Thinking about it, it's best if you cut off the heads of all the nails you use, in order to avoid the weight at the back making it tail-heavy. A bit of 5 minute epoxy to keep the nails in place should be enough.
