AIR POWERED TREE ACCESS - just gets higher

[Stihl123]

the larger pipe at the bottom is 2", and then it reducers done to 1"

the more air you can fit in, the more powerful it will be!!

the trouble i had is that you have to make the throw bag a bit smaller otherwise it is to tight in the end!

so if you can, make it 1 1/4, not sure if you can get all the bits needed though in that size

trust that helps, post pictures once you've made one

Great idea but I am going to be a kill joy here , have you seen what a truck tyre can do when it explodes at 120 psi .

 

Your 10 BAR=145.0377 PSI

No Thanks

 

Use a tyre/bead blaster that is tested and certified far safer .

Thanks for the info, I'm going to try stainless steel as I remember tons of the stuff running around the milking parlours I worked in and with all the farmers going out of milking their should be some going cheap!

 

If not the micro breweries i've visited have it as well so I could always have a new excuse to visit them again.

 

25 years ago I made a paintball bazuka out of drainpipe and a piece of chrome pipe from b&Q , and that was pretty effective, I used to go to 60 psi then let it rip, only thing was the adhesive degraded after a few years in the shed and it fell apart. p.s. sorry B and Q for the splatted paintball on the floor.. it got stuck when sizing barrels and I blew it out a bit too hard!

 

I will get the pictures up, once it's made....

Don't want to pee on the bonfire chaps, but we may be getting into the realms of firearms law. I would imagine if the kinetic energy of the object you are firing doesn't exceed 12ft/lb your ok (-;

Well that equates to 16 ft in the air if you class it as a firearms... good job it's not firing a 'pellet'.

 

Are slingshots covered by law then?

 

Don't worry about putting the fire out, just food for thought main thing is to get it made, then have a chat with the firearms officer... I also found out that they are used by the navy for getting lines between ships...
