The Ultimate Spudgun


This page is to show you my most outrageous project that is in my 'to do' pile.  I have already thought of most/all of the aspects of these designs to make this "THE ULTIMATE SPUDGUN EVER DESIGNED" (or at least the largest muhahaha!)"



THE SIZE

This aspect is probably the most striking of all.  With it's 4 inch by 2 and a half feet chamber, 3 foot gradual reduction system (see below) and 5 foot barrel with a breech loading system (maybe), remote detonation, laser guided, triple layered gun with two layers of steel and one concrete, acetylene driven (perhaps) without a doubt, is the most advanced spudgun ever devised (at least the largest hahaha).  If you have a gun similar to the one mentioned above, send me a picture and I'll post it up on my picture section.



GRADUAL REDUCTION SYSTEM (GRS)

While contemplating the problem of it's gigantic proportions, I thought up this little trick while thinking about the main problems large spudguns have, which is the reduction part of the design.

You see, when you build large spudguns, or use fuels that produce large quantities of pressure, there is one problem.  It is trying to convert too much gas in a pressurized area into an even smaller area at one time usually causing the reducer, chamber, or barrel to explode.  While pondering this, I perhaps found the solution.  Why not gradually reduce the gas so it is less likely to explode?  Hence the name, gradual reduction system.  How to do this is have it convert to the size desired by elongating the reduction system.  You step down from 4 in. to 3 in. to 2 in. to 1.5 in. and have a little segment of each size from each step down.  The illustration below shows you what I'm trying to say.



**  If you could obtain a segment of pipe that is 2.5 in. with the fittings, that could be used between the 2 and 3 inch reducer parts also.  



TRIPLE-LAYERED PROTECTION

This part was thought up while trying to sleep on a restless night.  If you want to try doing this setup, you will have a slightly smaller (on the inside) gun that weighs a heckuva lot more with triple the protection.  To do this setup, you must make a spudgun, then create one either one or one half inch larger or smaller with the EXACT MEASUREMENTS of the other.  My idea was to make it 3 in. 2.5 in. 2 in. 1.5 in. with a cover of 4 in. 3 in. 2.5 in. 2 in.  After you have you setup, insert the smaller one into the larger one and get something to hold it evenly on each side.  Then, you would pour concrete (that's all I could think of) down the gap to fill the hole between the two barrels and other things.  Make sure the bottom end is already filled with something like caulking (come on it was late that night) and make room at the top for some caulking to prevent the concrete from cracking and falling out.  Now you have one heavy (duty) spudgun.  A diagram is presented below:





REMOTE DETONATION

To make this gun have a remote detonation system, you would have to insulate between the screw and the chamber to prevent the electric spark from getting absorbed by the pipe.  Other than that, it should be the same as a normal REMOTE DETONATION SYSTEM.
