Calculation and sizing of pneumatic ball launchers

Not as much as the Corsican or the Basque, it's a Gascon who says it!!, the Gascon ... Its name speaks for itself, in 1 word!!

Where is this bullet cannon?

At a standstill for now!
I received all the parts.
I still have to print the threaded connecting part between the gas bottle and the valve (PLA attempt but not strong enough - > part broken immediately).
So not advanced much lately with the holidays.

Hello Sbadenis

Is it a boss on your pipe or a plug on its end?

Hi

A cheap launcher

Note that the dog brings the ball back so you can take a nap while he is having fun.

Kind regards

Hi @Zozo_mp , my wild will quickly get bored with a thrower at 2-3m.
The ball doesn't even have time to land with this kind of object!

If not, is there a bit of the same kind of object to get retirees moving? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You have tennis ball launchers with very good speed and also a random setting in direction.

It's the same principle as for throwing balls in American football
Two wheels that turn in opposite directions, and when one of the axes shifts a few millimeters, it goes to the right or to the left, and as the speed is variable, it goes more or less far.
Look here

or this

Hello everyone and especially our good old @Zozo_mp

At worst @sbadenis you design a spring mechanism for your arm and you throw the ball in his hand :innocent: , the pooches like the interaction with their master :hugs:
