Homemade pneumatics
A homemade product from our reader Alexander, who has his own VKontakte group dedicated to homemade products. Come in, take a look, there's a lot of interesting stuff in it.Description of homemade pneumatics:I was sitting in the evening, had nothing to do, and suddenly an idea formed in my head to make a pneumatic. I went online, didn't find anything worthwhile, I had to buy something everywhere, but because of the time of day I couldn't do it. Well, okay, I turned on my brain, started going through the options, well, what is in a pneumatic, well, a chamber with compressed air, I looked for an empty air freshener cylinder, now I need to pump air into it, I cut a nipple out of an old chamber, made a hole in the bottom of the cylinder with scissors and inserted the nipple there, secured it with super glue and left it to dry, now I need some kind of valve, my head ached with it for about 1.5 hours, well, I'm not at home, there's nothing like that, and then I came across a 3 cc syringe, cut off about 1.5 cm from the tip of the spout (where the needle is put on) and after another 1 cm I cut a hole in the body where I glued a piece of an unknown hose, then I glued this whole structure to the side wall of the cylinder. Now the easiest thing is the barrel, I just had it from some toy pestle. This miracle shoots like this: we lower the syringe piston below the hole in its body, pump up the cylinder with a regular pump to about 4 cc, pull the barrel out of the hose, insert the projectile there (I use plastic pellets from toy guns), insert it back, sharply raise and lower the syringe piston, the compressed air pushes the pellet. It lasts for 5-6 shots, as for the power, it breaks an old cassette from 3 meters. Do not judge strictly the first time, if something is unclear, then write everything, I will explain.
