Post things you aren't sure if you should throw away or make something out of.
For example, are picrel good for anything other than the trash? Inb4 I wasn't the one who huffed them.

Those are fun to fill with black powder,definitely don't throw away until after you light the fuse.
I had friends who did this. Fun as hell but definitely shaking hands with danger.
Do these produce actual fragmentation or does it just split the side of the cartridge?
If actual frag is involved it's pretty sketchy
I'll be honest I don't remember, but my guess is it just split the side. But whether it frags, splits, or just blows out the end you have a high chance of a piece of metal rocketing off in your direction so give it some distance.
Split mostly I'm pretty sure, watch explosions and fire on YouTube if the channel is still around and he shows example of how volatile things are vs what effects it has on aluminium cans. Powder doesn't burn too fast or produce too much force.
I watch him sometimes but it's different when the powder or explosive is confined. Powder burns so much faster in a container than in open air. He tests them just taped to the side of the can but when it's sealed the reaction self accelerates due to buildup of heat and pressure
Depends if you file a grid onto casing.
The cow cylinder s will fragment if filled with DIY high expl osi ve powder such as dry PEROX YACET ONE powder.
. This material is unstable and can autode tonate by static electricity drop strike flame spark or light flash. Do NOT MIX POA with anything flammable such as gu n pow der. POA is also an oxidizer that can ignite other material.
POA packed into such a co2 cylendar will punch holes in adjacent steel brick or wood. But it might auto deto nate while you are packing it or positioning it. Remote handling recommended.
Made hundreds of cartridge bombs as a kid. Comfy times.
They might make good water rockets. Would be interesting to compare them to plastic bottles to see which one gets better air time
They won't, too heavy and not enough volume.
t. oldgay who went to junior high back in the day when you could do this shit in school...
One of our 7th grade shop projects was designing, building and racing 12" long rocket cars that were powered by virgin CO2 cartridges and ran along a string held on by screw eyes. The starting block was where one end of the string attached and also held the firing mechanism(s) which used a nail that slid through the block and protruded just enough to puncture the seal of the cartridge that fit inside a hole in the back of the cars...a couple of mousetraps provided the force that could be triggered to send both cars off at once on a 50' run.
Those things hauled ass off the line but were coasting after the first 15' or so, and that's with about 800 psi to work with.
You can make smoke bombs with them for 4th of july
You can probably do something with that pube.
Beat me to it...
OP get the pubes out of there at least... disgusting!
doesn't look like a pube but i genuinely laugh anyway
If you shoot small caliber, they're phenomenal for one days time of hanging ping targets. Duck tape some string, spray w landscape paint, blast away.
I have a too many of these. They're kind of cool so don't want to chuck em but pretty useless otherwise.

I mean you're talking about most everything I have.
these are just 1/10th of the pictures I keep so I don't have to run around my property looking for shit.
please stop posting whats in my shed haha
It looks from picture like you are some kind of white supremacist engaged in racist activities not directly connected to fighting fricking or feeding.
you can fit ten tubes into one if you fold them into Vs and slot them in
Those and paper towel tubes are the best dog toys ever, we toss the TP ones next to and behind the wastebasket so our mini-hyena can "hunt" them and take them back to her lair to dismember them.
There's still perfectly usable TP on there
Huh. That's not the right way to take the tp roll test, at least the way I've heard about it.
Shit, I thought I was the only one doing this.
My dog loves those, she even goes to the toilet and steals rolls with some toilet paper on them lmao
plant starter plugs
Make and sell Tick tubes
Fill em with sawdust and beeswax, makes great homemade firestarters for the fireplace or camp.
Maybe if I buy an oscilloscope I will finally nerd up enough to use this shit.
why would you need an oscilloscope for an arduino starter kit?
just follow the tutorials that it comes with, easy as shit just a little time consuming. watch a favorite movie you've seen a few times while working on it, go back and figure out what you fricked up cuz you were paying too much attention to the movie. then you remember how the code works even better cuz you were forced to fix it by your dumbass short attention span.
> works every time fricker.
Are these all Temu kits?
My steel scrap bin... I know its scrap but i keep grabbing shit out of there if i need a small piece of metal. When i do dump it and take it to the scrapyard I kinda feel bad.
fill with paper match heads, shove a thin stick in = skyrocket
I have an old shopping cart full of railroad tie plates just sitting in my shed. Been there for years, but I'm gonna use em one day...
my life
>need to measure a voltage, pull out meter (left)
>readings coming out double expected
>check battery, blue gunk, better change it, hope terminal doesn't break off the 9V battery
>breaks off on the meter's connector instead
>look for spare meter (right), stumble upon forgotten middle one
>delighted
>screen all black (what causes that with LCDs?)
>find spare meter, install battery
>don't power up at all
Pretty sure I have spare connectors that I could fix the left one, but also kind of want to just flush out all these janky things I keep holding onto ("I could fix that ... maybe later.")
Never too many meters!
I have 2 or 3 of the free HF meters laying around random places too.
that reminds me, I think I also have one of those claw type ones around here somewhere.
After looking around, dumbass realized he had a spare 9V connector staring right at him ... in the busted meter on the right. Had. It's on the way to the landfill now.
>screen all black (what causes that with LCDs?)
Heat, physical damage.
>radioshack
id check the one that doesnt turn on for a burned fuse
all black screen, either something heavy squished the screen or extreme temperatures
no I will keep all of it, because it's pricey to buy it again.
>I have no money previous generation took it.
do zoomers really?
What about a co2 cartridge gun where you use the the previous and now empty co2 charge canister as ammunition with the next round being used to fire this one.
No. Fits in a shotgun shell.
My dog keeps digging those out of the backyard which explains a lot of the previous owner's "repairs" that I'm currently actually repairing
Really need to go through my shorts metal rack and sort and throw out a few things...
Scrap cars and especially vans make great scrap dumpsters and ya get some pocket money if scrap is high when you crush.
they look like mini dildos. shove them up your ass
they throw out a lot of old radio chargers at work now that they upgraded to more modern radios. They are oddball voltages like 11 or 13v, etc. They still work though. I got two of them but not sure what the frick to do with them.
Bump
why bump? nobody cares about this frickin thread thats why theres no more replies... let it die dumbass
Refill them with air by blowing really hard on the end and then pushing your thumb over it. Take over to the MIG welder and really quick slip the wire under your thumb and lay down a tack before it escapes.
nice pubic hair bro
