Axe can hobo stove

I built this stove in response to the numerous a bud light can stoves Ive seen.
this stove started when i thought hey i want to make one (but being a minor means no bud light bottles)
so i set out trying to make one from axe can

First remove all axe from can spray away
maybe duct tape the top down and chuck it (spraying axe) into a friends locker
or spray some out and light it turning your axe into a column of flame
or just spray yourself so much that you could get a DUI (wonder if its happened?)

but once the sweet stuff is gone start by taking off the cap
then take a pencil and shove it into the white pipe pushing until it fall into the can

step three

cut off the top of the can at the ridge

sand the edges then stick the top of the can inside the can letting it fall down

and thats it now just fill with denatured alocohal preferrably or rubbing alocohal if you have to

for extra output drill holes as shown in later post

End result

also during use you can stick it in a can with air holes for improved stabilty this makes a great hiking backpacking stove hope you enjoyed this thanks: Eric

paper plane launcher

2010-10-26T20:11:00.000-07:00

alright so i built this paper plane launcher a few weeks ago so i so i thought id post how i did it.It shoots planes a amazing 30 meters my teacher said it was the best he ever saw. Email me to get the drawings that wont post. nitroburn66@gmail.com

Paper plane launcher materials

· Home wire copper 1 mm thick

· 13 Popsicle sticks

· 1 foot of string

· Hot glue as needed

· Two by four

· Three Nails one inch long one mm thick

How to make a paper plane launcher

1. Get a two by four construction grade cut a 27” piece then use a table saw to shave it to 1.5” width and .75” height

2. About two inches from the right end draw a line like this

3. After that draw an oval in front of the line like this

4. Use a gouge and carve out the oval like a bowl about half an inch deep.

5.Get a nail about one millimeter thick and 1 in long the with cable cutters cut the head off hammer the nail into the center of the oval until flush with outside wood so about half a inch of nail shows fold the nail over on the other side.

6. Then turn the wood sideways and drill a hole about 1 fourth of a inch down like this

7. Buy some home wiring copper about 1 mm thick

8.cut two lengths of wire about 6 inches strip the insulation off then with pliers slide them into the holes and bend around the nail like this then solder together

9. Hot glue a Popsicle stick two these two wires below the wood they should move freely back and forth

10. use a v tool on the left end of the launcher cut a v about half a inch deep like this then drive a nail same as the first into the v like this leave the head on

11. Get about eight inches of the same wire as the first glue on like this

12. Hot glue Popsicle sticks to the right of the launcher like this

13. Hot glue three Popsicle sticks about two inches from the end of the left side like this

14. Spread out the Popsicle sticks in step 13 with another Popsicle sticks like this

15. Drive another nail in same kind as the others leave the head on leaves about 3mm out

16. Cut two nine inch wires then hot glue to the launcher like this

17. Tie a string to the nail in step 15 and 10 then tie those to a binding rubber band

18. Bend a paper clip into a hook shape like this

19. Slide the rubber band into the paper clip do it rests right here

20. Pull the paper clip back so this part rests on the nail in step 5 with the soldered wire in step 8 then push the Popsicle stick in step 9 the paper clip should slide off the nail then the rubber band flinging it forward

21. To launch planes make cones like this tape to either side of the plane slide cone on to hook after completing step 20

You have completed building the paper plane launcher

the cannon

angle i launch at

to get the poatato in i take the barrel off it and shove it in there

on the end of the barrel the pvc is filed into a edge like a apple corer

which cuts the patato into a near perfect projectile

i sound like a nerd right

the red thingy is a handle for a half inch ball valve

if you want to make one of these go to a ace hardware they are really helpful

the guy got me all the parts in like ten minutes

be careful blah blah blah saftey glasses blah

not responsible for injury

dont go past 30 psi if you use the bike valve

like this one

have fun
wwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ive seen explosive cannons pneumatic cannons
but my favorite one is pneumatic because the explosive kind
over time degrade so what i did was i built a PVC chamber resembling a t with a curve
like this
