Update Day 3: Both Irish crews through to Gold fleet at Olympic qualifier in Lanzarote. Two race wins today for Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove have moved the pair into third overall. They were heading for a top three result in their second race of the day but were disqualified for being fractionally over the line at the start. However, it was the opening race of the day that offered the biggest thrill for the Irish team as Dickson and Waddilove were chased around the course by team-mates Ryan Seaton and Séafra Guilfoyle who scored two second places plus a tenth and moved from 17th to 10th overall. Both teams will now compete in the Gold Fleet. Ireland face Belgium and Italy in the contest for the final nation slot for the Olympics. “Both Irish crews showed their capabilities on the water and in the results today with well deserved places in the Gold fleet ,” commented James O’Callaghan, Irish Sailing’s Performance Director. “Two top three results for Ryan and Seafrá have got them into the top ten where they can build further towards Friday’s finale - this event will come down to the wire!”

Made out of a bicicle pump! The idea is to use the one way valve that every bicicle pump has on its piston, to improve the performance of the gun, instead of using loose pistons as usually. I know the difference may not be crucial but it's for the sake of well-design. The piston is too heavy but seems to prove the theory. At only 75psi it shoots a 0,2g 6mm plastic bb through a steel (yes, steel. This is Europe) coke can. Filled with water it pierces the can and leaves a mark on the other wall. Air leak detected, soon to be fixed. UPDATE 20150719 Air leak was fixed with teflon tape. Cannon was intended to be tested to 10bar / 145psi. At 8bar / 116psi the back bursted off the main body, propelling it against a wall, with the cannon hitting at a great speed. Result is a bent cannon. Speed doesn't seem to have decreased but precision has been seriously affected. Plans for now are to test the energy at 75psi (like this teaser shows), then cut the cannon to the unbent part (which is about half the lenght), glue the back permanently and test energy again at 75psi to see the relationship between cannon lenglt and muzzle energy. Afterwards, with the back end fully glued, repeat tests at 116psi / 8bar and hopefully get the same energy as full-lenght-cannon @ 75psi. If not, test pressure until total burst, or the desired energy achieved. Advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching! A FewFriendsFace production Likeyright FFF2015 All likes reserved
