A/V System!!!

March 22nd, 2009

Anyway…I outgrew my old 5 shelf A/V rack and decided just to build one. This one features a nice ammeter to tell me how many amps the system using. There is a shunt for the meter located in a double gang box in the bottom of the unit along with a plug which I added a capicator for some surge protection/line conditioning. There is also a digital copier surge protector on the whole system as well as a generic home theater surge protector. There is also an isolation transformer for the DVD player. The 2 NES’s are connected to 2 seperate tv’s the one on the left is tied in with the rest of the entertainment, while the one on the right is just connected to a tv. The HTPC, DVD, XBOX, and PS2 run through S-video. Right now I only have composite ran to the tv but ive ordered some connectors so i can run S-video through the wall. If you have any questions leave them in the comments or email me! me@duncan-tempelmeyer.net

Another Cannon

March 13th, 2009

Already having 2 potatoe cannons I decided to make a foam ball cannon. This one uses compressed air fed into the tank by a normal air hose connection with a valve that way I dont have to drag the compressor hose with me. From the tank there is a sprinkler valve to release the air into the barrel. As of now the tank is about 3′ long and 2″ in diameter. I’m probably going make the tank bigger here soon.

I would like this to be semi-automatic, or pump action, if anyone has any ideas let me know!

So Trevor got me a pirate flag at an Irish festival, what it was doing there neither one of us know. Anyway I got Rocky to go to Hobby Lobby and get some iron on letters and we put “P-TOWN PIRATES” across the bottom on both sides. The flag is 3′X5′ and the original frame I made for the banner is a different size so I had to redo part of the stand.
