Car-Mounted Water Blasting Cannons

Car-Mounted Water Blasting Cannons

The ultimate in drive-by soaking? :p

From the article:
The tank that supplies the water cannon holds about nine gallons
The compressed air is charged to 130 psi
The recoil impulse of the water discharge takes less than one-half second

:cool:

sweet. Except the point is to simulate the car getting hit from the side, because it provides so much recoil. I don't think it would serve the purpose of a drive by soaking very well. haha. Still cool though.

...that's what *THEY* want you to believe! :p Pics of engineers being both soaked and blaster back 50' were omitted! :p

LOL.

The basic technology could be used for water warfare I guess. 9 gallons in half a second is awesome but mostly going to be wasted - you'd want a more sensible output and a longer shot time, and also some elevation for better range.

I remember Mythbusters made a huge water pump back in season 2, to test whether a scuba diver could be sucked up by a firefighting aircraft. As it was it hurled a load of water into the air; if they'd put a nozzle on the outflow, it would have been godly.

Cool thing. I only skimmed the link, but it does look interesting. I think its only OK safe, because the recoil is like a wreck. It also seems like losing 9 gallons in half a second in ridiculous, besides the power. I would make it less powerful, and having PC of some sort.
Still cool, though.

My best friend and I were stupid when we were young back in the mid 90s. I used my CPS 2000 for drive by prank water shooting. We would shoot kids our age. While fun at the time it was a very poor lack of judgement. we shot at a car and he got mad. chased us thru the neighborhood. very dangerous. DO NOT do this.

Some psychos will pull out real guns for a plastic toy. Others will call the police. It's a sad world we live in these days; I'd imagine very few "grown-ups" would bother to soak back. (it's not that hard though, if you have so much as a water bottle lying around to retaliate against the unsuspecting soak-attack...)

These are different times we live in. there are a ton of toy guns i played with in the 90's that you jsut couldnt play with outside today without someone calling the cops and freaking out.
