Blast Cannon Design Spec's (Edition #1)

For the past three years the members of W.O.E. (What On Earth) team have been in the process of design and gathering materials for a simplistic yet effective homemade blast cannon. The basic concepts we tried to instill in the design process were:

1) A simple level of mobility for the entire unit.

2) A wide range of movement on both X and Y axes.

3) The ability to be controlled by computer and to be controlled remotely thru the internet and/or by a palm pilot(special thanks to Nomad Kexler Palm programmer and longtime W.O.E. member)

4) and finally the ability to safely use, and regulate the use of propane as main fuel source.

The basic design for the device was simple quickly conceived and the first three objects of the design were accomplished easily, however objective four proved to be rather diffucult. As the self appointed safety inspector of team W.O.E.'s explosive unit I was very strict on this aspect. For a long time research was conducted with little results on how to appropriately and safely attach the fuel source to the main blast chamber. Luckly research has prevailed in the last week to locate a contractor that develops gas line fittings that are optimal for our needs. However to have the valve built will require educated know how in deciding the specs based on line size gas pressure explosion size and so on. After a bit of discussion it was decided none of us had the expertise or education to make the calculations however this will not slow down team W.O.E. as I am currently conducting a local search for someone with the know how to help complete this project and I will provide more news on the progress as it arises.

Site still under construction new models and dosumentation will be coming soon.
