BOOM! Testing Arm Mounted Launcher (Prototype)


we’re going to be putting something like
this on our urban explorers pit boy so
we don’t want anything to go to waste on
this channel this actually make a decent
seal hey everyone that’s day I’m here
with Steven again my portion of the
urban explorer pit boy is to try and
make some sort of pneumatic launcher
that we could like scare off animals or
fire a grappling hook or maybe there’s a
distraction grenade for like you know we
want to launch something really far away
so it explodes on impact and all the bad
guys go running towards that whatever
you can be as creative with it as you
want plus it’s also just cool Stevens
actually working on the brains of this
thing I got the boom he’s got the brains
cool I like that yeah I bet the boom
he’s got the brains this is just a
prototype we’re giving you a taste of it
and you can also leave a comment below
what other types of projectiles we can
have like a distraction wand a grappling
hook one you know be creative have fun
we can even put this with propane and
make like a flamethrower also thanks to
my patrons a lot of this stuff is paid
for by your contributions on the page so
thank you so much this whole thing is
controlled with just a 12-volt solenoid
valve and that’s what releases all the
air pressure so I’m gonna be able to
control this with a circuit board we’re
gonna make in the pip-boy with what’s
called a mosfet it’s pretty much just an
electric switch so when I make the
microcontroller talk to the mosfet all
the 12 volts will go into the solenoid
valve and it’ll shoot it it’s actually
being powered by some batteries that
were sent to us by Hoover I think that’s
how it’s pronounced so thanks poober for
sending these and they actually also
send these big ones we’re just gonna
power a laser project do you actually
have to use to these nine goals yeah so
right now we’re just using a couple
batteries to test it but when these
things all mount it up it should all be
like electronically controlled Rab
we go ready yep all right so while
Stephens messing around with the 15 watt
laser I’m working on this pneumatic
thingy
we just took a piece of PVC pipe in this
little cork and this is gonna be
blasting out close to 270 psi
we’re actually kind of overclocking over
powering this solenoid with these two
9-volt batteries so I’ll leave a link in
the description these are pretty cool
and they’re actually also powering this
really powerful 15 watt laser lasers
from banggood also link in the
description if you’re interested so
here’s what’s going on we have a
high-pressure air tank HPA tank which is
going to this regulator butt up to 300
psi that goes all the way down to our
little remote switch so we can actually
charge this thing we’ve got close to 250
psi right now and this is the QE V which
allows all of this air to be dumped out
at once and there’s a little plunger in
here that gets moved back just enough to
all this air to come through whenever
this little solenoid releases its air
and we’re going to use this to power the
solenoid to fire probably shouldn’t aim
this thing up a little bit does the
jenkees of the Jencks 2 1 now there’s
actually zero pressure like if this
thing is actually jammed down the barrel
how do you attach it to the brass I just
kind of put it up against it
I literally just took some black
electrical tape and attached to this
this half-inch PVC and this was
literally just press fit and just like
that so anything that’s gonna build up
significant pressure and actually firing
out of this it’s gonna build up so much
more velocity I feel like if we just
took like a Nerf dart it probably would
be perfect
do you’ve enough start here yeah it’s
whoa still not a man it’s still not
powerful look what happened
yeah the darts go on Oh get that thing
dude it’s like a flower just like split
it open
[Laughter]
we so easily entertained 100% what this
thing this is oh my god did you rub so
the bottom off of it – wow I bet your
put an Altoids then in there very short
wait do it again this reminds me a lot
of like the what’s that one the railway
rightful from fallout it is also most
effective in vats and before we get to
off track it also makes a whistling
sound during reloading choo choo
this is I miss you if this is the way
we’re gonna like if we’re gonna do it
this way we’re just push it oh I heard
that was all of the ink or something
[Laughter]
that is intensity that just shattered
instantly look at the tip oh man I don’t
even noticed that not to be messed with
yeah no kidding what else can be
shattered the student box she said maybe
we should have this expensive waves are
out of the way so I’m gonna be firing
this bolt if we put a little bit of
electrical tape on this thing it would
literally go through the box and the
next thing over there’s not powerful
enough
Oh more power alright so here with Max
mere ho he is a business major at
Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh
and he has a focus in entrepreneurship
so when it comes to the big sponsor
bills hopefully he’s going to be the guy
helping out with these projects that
actually turns out that we’re both
content creators so actually at my own
LinkedIn Sue’s yeah so if anybody
doesn’t LinkedIn it’s not as cool as
YouTube but I do it around
entrepreneurship so startups things like
that starting companies that’s what I’m
obsessed with and hopefully I can help
out with kind of the operations that
gear has going on here because like
we’re easily able to like find
promotional items like these just fine
because companies like want to reach out
they want to help and the one bill will
support the bill to be makes like so
these promo items are really nice like
batteries from Hoover to actuate this
solenoid here and then this paintball
tank we’d obviously something to keep it
nice and fresh arise so I got this foot
pump broke uberx thought that maybe ad
revenue would be able to help us out
exactly and so if we could get paid or
sponsored to make videos and help
companies advertise their products or
like just help people that we think are
doing really cool things then that helps
us have more time away from our jobs
away from our normal sources of revenue
to have fun to make more content for you
guys to to build these these really cool
things hopefully I can help out
that kind of set of things because I
understand it a little bit more so for
you guys so do you leave a comment below
are you us a list of companies that you
think would be cool to partner with we
would really appreciate that help
because I’m already doing outreach but
you guys are gonna have a lot more ideas
than me so let us know dude that’s a
great idea
we see you and it also like is a story
too like these are the outputs from the
Timmy’s messing around with air cannons
lots you buy all sorts does actually
make a decent seal really are you
putting even like cylindrical II oh my
god dude there’s literally an Altoid in
your hair dude I got I got a really bad
[Laughter]
dude I’ll say dude it sleepy title our
Altoids deadly some of them went through
this is the lonely outside that could
made it through the box so if you like
these sorts of videos you can check out
some more has some other pneumatics
projects you can click on this little
playlist right here we’re gonna be
putting something like this on our urban
explorers pit boy to scare off animals
or maybe fire a grappling hook so we
want to know what you think leave a
comment below and maybe your idea will be used in the next build
