How to hook up a squirt gun so it automatically squirts water? I have a halloween decoration with two skeletions in squirt gun fight, and I want to cycle water continuously so that one of them is constantly squirting the other. They are set up next to an in-ground fountain, so there is a water supply. Any simple and cheap ways to do this? |
If the skeletons are both over the fountain pool so that the water always stays in the pool then you will be able to recycle it. Otherwise you will need to add water to the pool to makeup for what is lost as they squirt. You could get a small fountain pump, immerse it in the larger fountain pool and attach it to the tube in the squirt gun reservoir so that it is pumping water directly through the squirt gun rather than having to push the trigger. It maybe easier to run the tube from the pump along the side of the squirt gun to the end of the gun so that the water squirts out of the tube and not the squirt gun nozzle. You may need to put a cap on the end of the tube with a small hole poked into it to make a finer stream like what would come out of the squirt gun nozzle. You may also need to put a small valve on the tube to control the water flow if it is coming out to strong.
You could do something similar using a water hose with an adaptor that you could get from the hardware store to step it down to a smaller tube. Then run that tube up to the squirt gun like the previous example. You could close the faucet valve to control the flow of the water coming out of the tube. You would be wasting some water, but if you valve it off some and only run it at night for a few hours then the waste would be minimal. |
How can you prevent a little water/squirt gun from leaking in your pocket? I need to know because I am tired of having my little squirt gun in my pocket leaking lol. Any ideas? |
| Good question. I am afraid that it is the result of poor craftsmanship. When I was a guy squirt guns were better made. Now all I see is cheap made in China crap that seems to have no quality control. If you find a good one let me know. I have bought a few recently believe it or not for training my dog. (Sound cruel?) It isn't. It is more effective than other forms of training and doesn't really hurt the dog. I suggest avoiding his face area. Don't want to blind them just give them a correction. Problem is I end up getting wet and fluid runs out before I am finished needing it. In the few days I have started dog has improved allot. |
What was the initial speed of the water? A guy fires water horizontally from a squirt gun held 1.5m above the? A guy fires water horizontally from a squirt gun held 1.5m above the ground. It hits another guy 2.0m away square in the back, at a point 0.93m above the ground.
I keep getting around 6m/s and that is not right help please. |
| What is the width of the stream of water? A wider stream of water will require higher pressure and speed to move the larger volume of water. |
Can I turn a squirt gun into a bubble gun? Hey I have a squirt gun and some bubbles. If I put the bubble solutoin in the gun, will it shoot bubbles? |
Sure....if you want bubbles around your toy gun...
I don't think you can do that actually, not enough air/pressure, I'm thinking. |
Does anyone remember the name of this squirt gun? Around twelve or thirteen years ago, my parents bought a large squirt gun for me that shot out a blob of water instead of a steady stream. In order to fire, you would have to pump something at the top of the gun, I believe.
I know it isn't too much information, but does anyone remember the name of this squirt gun? |
| its probably a super soaker |
What's the best small but high powered squirt gun? I had a squirt gun fight with a friend but i had the crappiest squirt gun. The squirt gun was very heavy too so i couldnt run with it |
| Go to the toy department at Walmart and you will see many options. |
How can I make a home-made, inexpensive squirt gun to take on a rafting trip? I have seen the PVC pipe type squirt guns that people bring on rafting trips. When I have searched on the web, all I find are ones fro sale. I should be able to make my own, I just need some instructions. |
| Have you ever heard of this wonderfully delightful place called...... the dollar store? |
If you got paid to have a squirt gun fight but you hated it would you do it? My friend hates squirt gun fights but i wanna know if she'll do it if i paid her so answer if you would. |
| Its just water. So yea.... |
What would happen if I put lighter fluid in a squirt gun and shot a flame? It wouldn't blow up the gun or anything, would it? |
Mini-flamethrower...
It could blow up the gun, because the flame would travel back into the gun, and if enough oxygen is in the gun, well.... boom.
It's pressurized too, so you might find yourself holding a plastic hand grenade. |
What is the biggest squirt gun they make? Looking for a water gun that carries pleanty of water. I wonder if they make tanks you can wear on your bacK |
| Use a hose! With an extension, and a pistol grip. |
