Propane Gun
Intro: Propane Gun
This is my science fair project by Faisal Al-Wabel i
STEP 1: Why I Chose This Area of Science
I chose this project so it could be helpful for us and the community from self defense or if we went camping and something suddenly happens we can use the Propane gun.
STEP 2: The Problem
Saudi Arabia is the only country that have low propane torch supplies so it will be hard and challenging to find stores or places that sells them.
STEP 3: The Hypothesis (or the Prediction)
Propane Gun: Will the gas dissolve in time when we release the fire?
STEP 4: Research
Propane Gun: We know that this weapon/gun uses a propane torch and some PVC Vinyl clear tubes that connects the torch and the bottle at the end that fires the gas and fire but plastic bottle in the end might melt and shrink since the effects of fire and plastic is shrinking and making it small, but after a few propane shots it will shrink 25-30% but after that it will stop.
STEP 5: My Testing Method
Propane Gun: We started by trying to ignite the propane torch
Then we connected it with the clear vinyl tube After that we attached the PVC tube to the torch and the clear vinyl tube to make it look like a gun and easy to handle Then we decided to attach a bottle at the end to make a loud noise.
STEP 6: Experiment Data
1 hour Took me to find materials
20 min Took me to build the gun
30 min Took me to make this presentation
40 min Analyze and perfect
STEP 7: My Discoveries
I learnt that to never point this weapon on any body otherwise bad things will happen.
And to always prepare to any experiment or project
STEP 8: Finally, the Conclusion
Propane Gun: In conclusion the gas that was released didn’t dissolve when we released the fire also there was some gas left after each shot.
