    Frans, that sounds like an invite, and i would love to see the redwoods, let alone climb them! Although at this moment in my life, that graph would be especially boring, because i can't possibly swing that for quite awhile :cry: You are right about the chart, but they are all very similar in...

    You are correct in very low handle angles, but it soon takes over the butterfly valve. I didn't realise that a plug valve (usually used for natural gas and is easier to come by than a butterfly) is better than both both and is still a quarter turn valve. Anyways you can also reduce up to a...

    A ball valve will be cheaper in that size, and hold more reliably, and release the same. In his defence tho, I've fought with engineers over the same question more times than i can count.

    A buddy, while in high school and obviously heavily intoxicated, shot a hole clean through the garage roof while messing with one. They are actually quite dangerous. And you can only buy semi auto ones at every store. Our science project, looking back, probably was super illegal, because you...

    As far as legality goes, building a cannon that sends spuds into low orbit is illegal as hell, but iirc i even did one for a physics project. We also built an adjustable rate of fire trigger mechanism, to make a paintball gun fully automatic. We had to make it adjustable because it cycled so...

    Welcome to the house man. That thing looks like an incredibly complicated copy of the apta, which is a copy of the common potato gun lol. The wheel has already been invented. Being somewhat of an expert on potato guns (my entire youth :D), the clear plastic barrel (which isn't a piping...
