Need help on a project idea.

[537]

I'm in a creative fabrication mood.

I need some ideas on something to build within a budget. I will be willing to post an in depth How-To on my project.

Please start throwing ideas out. Extra points for implements of destruction. I'll research the good ideas and determine whether it is within my budget. And then I'll get to work!

Things that cannot be built are:

PVC Flamethrower (as awesome as this truly is, it has already been done and I want to be the first one to create something)
Potato Launcher




Points go out to those that can come up with a truly original and wicked idea that I can actually fabricate. Who knows, maybe I'll even send it to you in gratitude.

how about home renovation like say building a deck?

it also works for you cuz you bought a new house.

Can't do it! We bought a townhome, so we've got to comply with the CC&R's. Besides, I've got no backyard, and a deck right outside my garage, while it would be awesome, would piss my neighbors off. =(

C'mon Bunz, implements of destruction!

oh ;(

how about build your own bar with built in taps etc etc etc.

it'll go well with the beer bong.

a PVC flamethrower will go over well in a neighborhood with CC&Rs?

Hey congrats on your new townhouse. Where did you end up buying it?

How about a water balloon launcher made with surgical tubing?

Another vote for the wet bar with taps.

how bout u fill the water balloon w/ acid.

A wet bar with keg taps is an awesome idea. But it requires an enclosed and insulated compartment to be refrigerated, therefore presenting the best possible location to be in the kitchen. Shirley would kill me if I tore the kitchen up.

A PVC flamethrower is portable!

No! Sounds too Disney!

now i'm glad i didn't buy that house warming gift for you.

with your new project will come ideas for this gift. with gifts come happiness and warmth.

537, i want to make you happy and warm.

you complete me

a dungeon then. use a larger closet.

[deez nuts]

how about a customized home entertainment cabinet. save you money from actually buying one.

or nice customized closet shelves for the lady.

deep down i still yearn for the wet bar.

[kimpossible]

no, you know what les needs to build? a stage and a pole for shirley. maybe some flashing lights and speakers set into the walls.

hmm, well, you should still consider some of the classic weapons, such as
- trebuchet
- swords... as in actually learning the fine art of swordmaking. hell, if you can make a quality foil, i might just buy it
- those old-style cannons; maybe make a replica of the imperial chinese ones?

but, as for newer ones that less people attempt:
- high-powered laser - from what i've heard, these aren't too hard to make; the downside is some components that you definitely have to buy, and they don't come cheap. plus, the inverse relationship of charge time and electric bill costs, which leads me to the...
- railgun - electrically-powered kinetic energy-goodness. easier on the wallet.

less creative, but still cool idea:
- go-kart - fine, if you don't think this is fun enough, build it, and then mount a potato cannon/flamethrower/laser/railgun on top of it; rig a camera on it as a sight; mount a monitor in the cockpit; and a remote firing mechanism. if you're afraid of getting killed (wuss) make it radio controlled and hook a wireless transmitter to the cam.

This is what I'm talking about. Negative, however, on the classic medieval implements. I like the railgun project. I will have to do a lot of research to see how to fabricate this. I imagine this would need a considerable amount of electric power to run, but would otherwise only need a small-bore non-magnetic barrel, and a series of high-powered electro magnets setup in sequence. How would I make this portable? How would I be able to produce enough magnetic force? Karma for you!

Give me a while to see if this can even be done!
