Re: My new CPS system
I built the laminator, but unfortunately when I tested it, everything, the screens and straws blew out. my design is different than JLspacemarine's though I did screw 1/2 inch male-to-screw 3/4 male adapter ---- Female 3/4 screw coupling ---------- 3/4 inch screw male-to-1/2 inch screw female bushin...

Re: Water gun article on Yahoo.com
I agree. They should have posted a gorgon on there. That is also a decent water gun. But they should have said, search for vintage water guns from Larami on ebay, while they are expensive, they have performance that will rule the battlefield. Or build your own, which will have even better performanc...

Water gun article on Yahoo.com
I found an article on water guns on Yahoo. The only one that serious water fighters use on that list would be the colossus. I'm surprised they even had that one. http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/unplugged/shoot-down-summer-heat-five-great-water-guns-182750278.html I posted a comment and I told them to s...

Re: Nozzle Selector?
It got 73 feet effective range at 100 PSI, and at 95 PSI with 5% glycerin 78 feet. He didn't say the range at 60 PSI, just the output.GJIV wrote: While I am talking about this, what was the maximum the SuperCannon 2 was able to archieve ? 72 feet ?

Re: Nozzle Selector?
I don't know if it is possible, but I have very limited knowledge of what products are out there that could make this possible. If you succeed in making it, make a guide!
This idea combined with Drenchenator's Riptide, Homemades will be the king of the future of water wars.

Re: My new CPS system
It will have to be detachable. My ball valve is a screw in. Anyways, that is exactly what I found, the JLSpacemarine's guide.

Re: My new CPS system
I could also just screw in an adapter to my nozzle area, and hook the hose to that for my QFD. That is what I was thinking of doing.
Also, what is a nozzle laminator?
EDIT: I found what nozzle laminator is. I think I will try that.

Re: My new CPS system
I don't know what that thing you put in the nozzles are. I have no idea where I could get it either. Could you tell me where you got them? Also, I made another nozzle that has 5 separate streams, although the distancing between the streams are uneven, because my drilling skills are terrible. Also, I...

Re: My new CPS system
I tested it. I still get approx. 35 ft range, even with a 1/4 inch hose barb. The stream is not laminar at all. I haven't gotten that sweeper nozzle from Home depot yet, because last time we went there they didn't have it. I saw this on Mcmaster: http://www.mcmaster.com/#spray-tips/=i5c422 Go to sol...

Re: My new CPS system
Taking a little longer the usual, because one of the LRT I ordered was the wrong size. Stupid me. Gotta return it and order the right one.

Re: Riptide CPS Prototype
Could you post a guide on how to make this? I'd love to make something like this, it's a lot more compact than a CPS based on Ben's design.

Re: My new CPS system
Well, I went with the 1/2 inch, just because I didn't want to get another brass barb (Ive already spent enough on this project, I shouldn't spend much more than what I have spent.). They had the 5/8 only in brass, and the 1/2 inch barb was in plastic, so 1/2 was a lot cheaper. The hose and PVC threa...

Re: My new CPS system
I have a brass 5/8 barb on the firing end. My dad said a 3/8 inch barb should seal, because the tube has an ID of 3/8 inch barb. The reason I have a 5/8 barb on the firing end is so I don't restrict the flow. Maybe I should go with a 1/2 inch so I don't risk leaking, it reduces the dead space, and i...

Re: My new CPS system
I think I will just go with the 5/8 barb, because I have that on the other side, and it makes the LRT expand.

Re: My new CPS system
The ID of the smallest LRT is 3/8 inch, the OD of the smallest LRT is 5/8 inch. Would I get a 5/8 inch barb, or a 3/8 inch barb?
About the hose connector, isn't hose threads different than pvc threads, even though they are both 3/4 inch?

Re: My new CPS system
Oops, I fixed the typo. I didn't try to push it in when it was under pressure. anyways, we found out the inner layer of the LRT was twisted, thus shortening the usable bladder. When I went past the max pumps for that shortened bladder, the inner layers popped. It was also collapsed some to. Here's a...

Re: My new CPS system
Well, I measured to how far I got, it was 37 or 38 feet. Anyways, that doesn't matter right now, because the two inner layers of the LRT popped. :cry: I know exactly how it happened. When I was trying to get the bolt in farther, I was trying to screw the bolt in, and that twisted the inner layer of ...

Re: My new CPS system
I've fired it! it works really well, except for the fact that my nozzles suck(I get a very rough stream, not laminar at all), and there is a slight leak around the bolt in the LRT, and the pump slightly leaks. But even with bad nozzles, I still get about 35-40(guesstimating) feet. That is better tha...
