V1 pneumatic water blaster!! (Patreon)
Content
We're trying to make a summer related project and our minds somehow went to super soakers, so we of course thought it would be fun to make our own out of plumbing parts!
Definitely going though some learning pains as we tinker around with the design but it has also been a ton of fun.
The main hurdle to overcome is how to ensure that water comes out of the nozzle instead of air as you tilt the blaster around. Super soakers overcome this by using a hose that goes down to the lowest point where water will collect. That's a bit complicated though using off the shelf parts so our solution for now was just to move the nozzle to the bottom... which still does not always work when the blaster is tilted like shown above.
