The PHC is the Pressurized H2 Chamber, this is a prototype, the main PHC will be bigger and reach more than 90 Bar.
After I can install this PHC(Pressurized H2 Chamber) with a regulator inside the body of my cannon

What type of regulator are you going to use?

Thats still fairly heavy, and with a bullet that looks about an inch in diameter, I think you will find the performance quite disappointing, due to such a dense bullet and the use of a very fast burning gas. Although I would think that a normal combustion would have some trouble propelling that at a decent speed :?

I have fire that bullet with butane as fuel and a HD Sony video cam didn´t cought it as WYZ saw when at my Place....
I am going to use 12mm bullets in the Steel cannon, not in this.
Pneumax.com for regulator.
The PHC get easily 15/20 mix of H2

The regulator you posted is a paintball regulator, their output is 800 psi normally and the input is 3000 or 4500 psi, not suitable for you, you will need a additional palmer regulator to get it down to +-200 psi.
But a paintball regulator can also be pre-set to a lower output...

Yes, that's a typical paintball regulator. You can buy one from ebay for 17€ or from a site I found, they sells directly to Portugal and accept bank transfer, expensive through, 37€+-

It spends 25g of Al or 95g of Zn if I use 89ml of HCL, and this is to produce 16 L of H2 in 12 seconds.
