Hi Martin, how did you go with your DC-DC step up regulator did this work for you? My concern with using dc-dc convertors is the high freq switching interfearing with the detectors opperation?

How did you guys go with this battery build, are your detectors still working ok? Looking at doing the same for a frinds unit but was concerned with the fully charged voltage of 10x 3.7v, well the problem is that Li-ion batteris fully charged are approx 4.2v at fully charged for the first few...

It does not look like a real gun/revolver cylinder, normally the cylinder is solid steel billet with holes drilled through the billet for the bullet. In your picture the entire cylinder is hollow. I would suggest it is from a toy gun. In and before the 80's shops sold real life scale metal cast...

4WD all the way. You need to consider what the terrain is, when the ground gets hard and you need to go up inclines and the ground is covered in pebble type gravel you wont have traction. Also if you want to go up and down creeks through water and over moss/slime covered rocks. I had 2x 2wd...

tumble it in a small cement mixer full of water, basically use it like a tromell, keep shovelling the blue metal mix in the led will settle at the bottom and excess blue metal and brass will fall out over the lip of the mixer. You will still be left with mostly lead and jacketed projectiles...

Obviously I can not speak for everybody else, for me its more about having things to do when I get to where I am going. I travel all over the place anyway so I may as well have options to fill in time if they suit the location etc..

So tell us what you are thinking so we can hinder or help you ;)

Reverse healix tromell I am tossing up between that and the spiral wheel I will be using 5-10mm thick plastic strip or angle to do the internal spiral. I want to see if I can manually with gears or belt crank a pump to pump water to the tromell, while it rotates the tromell or attach a Spiral...
