Portable pvc air tank for pneumatic cannons?
I, after 2 years, managed to convince my dad to let me make a pneumatic cannon. The only problem is, I can’t use his giant air compressor, but I can use a portable air tank. I don’t have one, but was wondering if I could use 6 or 8 1’6" long tubes of 2-3" pvc pipe in junction to make a good enough air tank for maybe 3 or 4 good shots. I could use a little 12 volt air pump to pump it up using a schrader valve. Would this work well? The intended projectile is a tennis ball and the planned air cannon uses a piston valve.
12 volts car pump shall not able to product more than 50 lb. You air cannon need more than 100 lb air pressure. You may get this high press air free from some gas station if you have an air tank.
Or you can make your own compressor taken out from old fridge or air conditioner. It can pump up more than 100 lb easily.
