Domino's parmesan bites are awesome.

I thought they were alright... I love the Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich though.

The question is, do they work?

The question is, do they work?

still have to make all the hoses and controls for the turner. But other than that YES!

 

[Westside]

Still have to test and work out the proper weights and air pressures.

the air cylinder is so fast right now that at full speed and pressure it snaps a 6 foot furring strip in half.

What's gonna power it? Are you using a portable compressor or something? If the cylinder works so well, could you just use another cylinder on the other end with a handle on it that you could manipulate manually?

Right now it is all manual. so I am using a 100 Gallon air compressor at 135PSI.

when I get it done. It will be at a lower pressure and ran off of a portable tank, Nitrogen or air haven't decided yet. It will have a solenoid and timer that will be powered off of a 12V car battery.
So when it is done the user will press a button the target will spin. Display for a determined amount of time then auto spin back to the side.

Could it be a bad idea to have nitrogen or compressed air around live fire? Like if a stray round hit the tank?

I genuinely do not know, that's why I'm asking.

Only Concern would be a ricochet. The pressure tank and battery will be by the person controlling it behind the firing line.

I modeled the design off of a commercially available system.
