Hey guys, SpiderDevice here, and the time has finally come
for the testing of the web shooter, with water.
Up this line leads to the fluid tank
Uh, which comes up through here
and shoots out this nozzle right here.
That's controlled by this trigger mechanism that mounts on the wrist.
Um, I have the battery here for the solenoid
and the battery here for the microcontroller.
I'm gonna hook up the batteries and then I'm going to
pressurize the tank
and
Uh, then I'll test out the shooter by double tapping the trigger and hopefully
the fluid will shoot out.
I'm just gonna press this without the pressurized tank...
You can hear the solenoid opening.
Now I'm going to pressurize the tank, and, uh
record this shooting out.
Alright, the fluid tank is now pressurized.
That's interesting
that is very interesting
I don't know how far that's shooting, but it's...
It's shooting it pretty good
obviously it didn't shoot all that far
uh... looks about the majority
is splashing in somewhere around
two or three feet
Um, without a little bit more reinforcement and some more pressurization I'm sure it will shoot out
farther
But, um, once again let's take a look at this
you, uh, double tap the trigger
and I'm losing a bit of pressure here
It's becoming, uh
a bit more un-pressurized, but
Yeah you can see I'm running
out of pressure
But that works a lot better than I would've
hoped
yeah that's it for this
next I'm gonna
since this is all finished I'm gonna attempt to work on a way to
mount up this tank, yes I know it's huge
Um, it's one gallon
but i'm going to attempt to
strap it on my back
and then I'm gonna work on the formula
Which is why I tested this with water is because
the solvent for the formula is acetone which has about the same viscosity
as water
so that when it shoots through this nozzle
the acetone will evaporate so right here
at the exit
it will be as the water is
but then once it gets out
to about here or so or probably about here
the acetone will evaporate and cause
the web to form
now of course if I'm shooting something up close
it won't work that way but then the acetone will evaporate once it'*** the thing
and uh...
that'll cause the web to form
so yeah that's it for this video
uh... see you next time, bye
