Zippiot Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 Hi, I am not new to building things but I am new to many topics, that is why I am here to learn.In the past I have built a few jet engines, all of which now sit in the scrap pile as over-use melted the internals.Started my project fascination about 10 years ago when I built my first pneumatic cannon. I went from an endcap cannon to a full blow 12 inch bore device of destruction that could fire a projectile nearly 1/2 a mile!Moved on to playing with fire, which is where my main interest still lies...Figured out how to make hydrogen with a battery charger, the hearing in my left ear has still not returned...Moved onto jet engines, made 1 pulsejet and 1 ramjet out of common household amterials. Both worked but produced no thrust. Many years later I built an axial flow jet that ran about 2 hours before everything melted down...Dabbled in high explosive, will never go back!Made many rockets, most unsuccessful but a few passed the 3k foot barrier!Currently building a liquid fueled forge, hard work mixing all that refractory. Want to build:Electric arc furnace-got all the designs down just need the 150 buk welderLaser-got the basic idea down but need some assistanceLiquid fueled rocket-always wanted to do it and now I have found a supply of gaseous oxygen! I probabaly left some things out... Quote
