Yet another poor quality video of the homemade pneumatic cannon made out of a cheap air pump for using the own piston as it works like a one way valve. Thus, you don't need to leave a small clearance for air to leak and load the main chamber. The piston let's the air flow into it, but on the shooting phase it blocks it. It's the same that happens when you pull the handle of the airpump (air enters the cylinder) and then you push it (air is NOT released, but compressed). The target in this video is the back plate of a pringles can. At 3,5-4 atm as seen here it pierces it. At 6 it goes through. At 7,5 the rear cap explodes XD And no... I'm not in undies. It's a swimming pant (summer in Spain!!) XD So please focus on the ballistics and keep YOUR mating rituals for your friends and beloved ones. Another funny fact. The rear cap explossion propelled the main body against a furniture and the aluminum cannon BENT. So poor accuracy now, but back before the accident it was kinda good...like let's say hit an apple at 15 meters (yeah, I know but I didn't want to put my eye or face close to the gun, so it surely would have been better. To the naked eye, the BB looked like flying pretty straight) Thks4watching All likes reserved

La sveglia è con la pioggia. Sentiamo le gocce d’acqua picchiettare la coperta sopra le nostre teste. Sono le 6. È sabato. Ma chi ce lo fa fare di alzarci adesso! Ci giriamo dall’altra e ci svegliamo alle 9:30. Usciamo e ci prepariamo a tirare su l’ancora. Solitamente ci si mette 5 minuti. Questa volta ne sono serviti 45. Perché? Perché chissà cosa diavolo ha preso l’ancora.. Sono anni che ci prepariamo a questa situazione, sono anni che lanciamo il grippiale in mare proprio nel caso l’ancora dovesse impigliarsi. E cosi anche quel giorno è arrivato. Tiriamo su la cimetta legata all’ancora e in un secondo si libera. Che soddisfazione! Dopo un’oretta in totale ci mettiamo in marcia verso Sv. Ante (sull’isola di silba), che domani sembra essere in un cono felice di calma dal vento. Scopriremo presto se è stata una buona scelta o il meteo ci ha fatto uno scherzo. Questa sera ci mettiamo sul libro. Sta procedendo. Sta prendendo forma. Sta delineandosi ogni giorno di più. Non vediamo l’ora possa essere anche vostro. Ma ora buona notte, domani sarà una domenica di relax ☀️
