Help find me a toy...

[Canker_Canison]

I'm looking to fulfill my summer toy needs. This year I'm looking for an adult version of one of these...

http://blog.professortortoise.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/HeliToy.jpg

Just to be fussy, I don't want one that's got the cord attached. If you remember the versions that had a plastic toothed strip, that's what I'm after.

The more dangerous the better. Ebay & google searches have so far drawn a blank...

HELP!

[Canker_Canison]

Sorry Jok, not manly enough. That would break within 2 minutes.

Let me paint you a picture... I'm not a small lad & my 19st frame has some power in it. I'm looking for something I can really get in to without worrying about breaking it.
If it has the potential to decapitate teenagers and health & safety morons I want it.


If I could find a way to customise circular saw blades to fly the same way, I'd do it. Summer isn't the same without risking injury while playing lol

How about something like this? http://www.dealextreme.com/p/flying-helicopter-alarm-clock-13064

[Canker_Canison]

Funny ~~~~a' ain't ya satsmo lol

Already got a couple of RC heli's.

I did find one that was more like a ducted fan (blades were about 2" high) it also came with a plane that the flying disk section connected to. Can't find the bugger now, typical.

How about something smaller :) Amazon.com: FLYING SAUCER (Colors May Vary): Toys & Games

Parrot AR Drone | IWOOT (http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/10349037.html)

could be modified quite nicely to decapitate numerous people, all via your phone. Remote decapitation, can't beat it.

nearly wet myself with that thread lol toyboy lol

[Canker_Canison]

My toys have to be dangerous & relatively cheap.

Found this...

Ok, it doesn't fly, but I had something similar as a kid. The dam thing was lethal. So if it's possible to find a bigger version of this it will be a good substitute.

~~~~er i was going to post the same thing lol

If price is a factor build one, looks like a relatively simple design. Aluminium would make an effective, similarly dangerous flying wheel, wooden handle, steel runner. Cost about ?20 all in + labour. Follow the design/angles of the plastic one.

Wood, studs etc could all be found in B&Q.

Any chance you could draw a quick schematic of the internal mechanism? The second one looks like a single gear but not sure.

[Canker_Canison]

When I get done for creating WMD I'll point them in your direction SC.

Been giving it some thought... Why bother with boring rip cord or pull mechanics.

I'm off to consider the use of an electric motor to power the wind up. Should be able to reach impressive launch speeds with ring toothed projectiles.....

Simple, power. The amount of inertia your arm will generate will be hard to replicate with a suitable motor. Speed on the other hand........

Just need to work out the release mechanism ;)

Not even sure if a release mechanism is required, wouldn't want it flying back at me though.

OFF TOPIC:-

When i was younger, so much younger than today i got from a computer fair a
large 24" (?) 'hat box' inside it was a single platter - it was a hard disc, my fat unemployed fried (who wasn't fat or unemployed at the time) - took it off me and propmtly folded it in half before i frizzebed it and took somebody's head off

HTH

Meat.

[Mjolinor]

You can mod these things to launch from an old laptop hard drive, cut a hole in the top of the disk and fit the bit that goes in the rotor on the centre of the platter and they really go :)

Too short to be dangerous, not volunteering mind you, looks sore.

It is a bit small, but the girlfriend will probably love it.

@Gizmo, looked at these before... But I prefer something that looks less safe. A basic potato cannon run on lighter gas will probably be more fitting. You'll be able to count the days between my making one & the first visit from the armed response units.

Many years ago I started construction on a projectile cannon using a sodastream gas system. At the time I had hundreds of high density foam balls that I wanted to soak in a petrol/oil mix & ignite as they exit the barrel.
Lost interest in the project after I bought a paintball gun.

OFF TOPIC:-

UFF - Had a tractor unit once, air drain off the brakes, 3" pipe, ball cock, spud gun, worked well.

STILL OFF TOPIC:-

Had some guy in, put a potato in a 12 bore, tried shooting somebody from xxxxxxx ??? meters away, stoved door in on a Morris Minor


HTH

Meat.

My dad used to make zip guns when he was a kid. Back when bangers were bangers, not just the wet fart things we have now.

You need:

A bag of marbles or ball bearings
copper pipe
bangers/air bombs

Take one section of straight copper pipe, pick a diameter that allows your marbles to slide down with about a 1mm gap (max)

Hammer flat one end of pipe & fold over the flattened end on itself.

Bend pipe to form a basic handle

Place banger/airbomb into the pipe leaving the fuse sticking out.

Light fuse, tilt back, place marble/ball bearing into pipe, tilt back.

Point at target & hold hand over the top of the pipe to stop recoil.


Back in the old days ball bearings were fired with enough force to rip through car doors.

Sir, you have obviously been researching my neighbours. Sadly it wouldn't be water bombs I'd be firing, but rather dangerous home made hand grenades made from the contents of catherine wheels packed into kinder egg cases sealed with elastoplast tape.
