dynomike1 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 What about a 9/16 go getter tool? I have a whole bunch of tubes.
dagabu Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 What about a 9/16 go getter tool? I have a whole bunch of tubes. PM sent
dagabu Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 I still have a few 1/2" end burner sets, $35.00 a set, PM me for details.
rogeryermaw Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 i wanted to inquire about your go getter tooling. specs and prices? i realize you have some very big and important days coming up so no hurry but any info you have available would be appreciated.
dagabu Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 LOL! Honestly, I am working on a new design with a fellow pyro and we are in the evaluation stages now. When finished, we will have a 3/4" OD comet with a 1" core that SHOULD produce a better thrust profile than what is currently available. I dont know about you all but I sure would like to see a go-getter shell expand to a nice view-able size, most are very shrunken compared to their companions of the same size (i.e. they break like a smaller shell). While I love the idea of a hand pressed set of tooling, I am told that pressing sucks by hand, this set will be solid so you can ram or press the rammer. There will be an extraction sleeve that comes with as well. Stay tuned, this one should be a lot of fun!
rogeryermaw Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 awesome! keep us updated. if it's as cool as it sounds, sign me up.
dagabu Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 How about this? http://fireworking.com/sites/default/files/u172/DSC_2527.JPG http://fireworking.com/sites/default/files/u172/DSC_2528.JPG http://fireworking.com/sites/default/files/u172/DSC_2529.JPG http://fireworking.com/sites/default/files/u172/DSC_2534.JPG http://fireworking.com/sites/default/files/u172/DSC_2538.JPG
dagabu Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 I have 5 sets ready to finish, just need orders. PM me if interested.
californiapyro Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 So are the go-getters pasted in after ejection from the sleeve?
dagabu Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Nope, the go-getter is pressed in the pump and then ejected, the ejection sleeve is larger than the go-getter and allows a smooth ejection from the pump. These are not going to be hand pressed but machine pumped at higher pressures, i suggest SGRS and an overnight dwell time on the comp. *The ejection sleeve is PVC and unattractive, it's not shown for that reason.
californiapyro Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Gotcha, it's hard to tell what the gap is between plunger and sleeve. Nice design -Hunter
wildcherryxoxo Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Overnight dwell time on a go getter?? That seems a bit excessive Edit: perhaps you mean temper the composition overnight? That would make sense. Edited September 18, 2014 by wildcherryxoxo
Carbon796 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Dwell time on the composition; Not the go-getter.
wildcherryxoxo Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Thats what I figured, I have always heard the term "dwell" being used for time on the composition under pressure. It had me scratching my chin thats for sure!
Carbon796 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 True, after the water is fully integrated into a Dex or SGRS bound comp. I've seen the terms Dwell, Rest, and Temper used pretty interchangeably. I usually use - temper. . .
schroedinger Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Well would be funny to have it under pressure overnight, then you could make up to 365 go getters a year or 730 if you also press over the day. Dag, do you have no problems with the go getter losing to much thrust as the cavity allready burns during the time before the shells breaks open?
dagabu Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 Gotcha, it's hard to tell what the gap is between plunger and sleeve. Nice design -Hunter There is none, they are flush..Overnight dwell time on a go getter?? That seems a bit excessive Edit: perhaps you mean temper the composition overnight? That would make sense. Good catch. Temper time...
rogeryermaw Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 just got my 1/2" core burner set from dag and it looks gorgeous! i'll upload as soon as i get a chance to make some rockets.
dagabu Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 So are the go-getters pasted in after ejection from the sleeve? I misread this before, it was just brought to my attention. Correction: Yes, a pasted wrap is used to seal these and a slurry of prime with a short piece of black match is inserted into the hole. Sorry for the confusion.
