@Don't Read My Profile Photo i wont brodi
Bro thank you so much! Ive been looking for this exact mechinisum forever!
but now I might be on the FBI watchlist :p
Fire a loaded dart wit a normal nerf gun and make it ignite in the air
Can you make a self launching grenade/firebomb?
you should make a mussel loaded version of this, using brass tubing as a barrel then using a similar setup to shoot but use a nylon cap behind the dart so it wont explode, and use more flash cotton to give it more power, maybe even use a revolving capacsiter holder that not only holds multiple shots but also recharges them
Now create a nerf dart that shoots a nerf gun
Genius
Amazing

That shoots a nerf gun

Remember, it’s faster to swap to your dart than to reload your Nerf Gun.
Just switch to your other weapon, it’s faster than reloading!
@@allentastic r/yourjokebutworse
Remember, throwing your sidearm at the enemy is faster than reloading.
Remember, kicking your enemy in the groin is faster than reloading.
Remember, throwing up your hands and surrendering is faster than reloading.
This feels just one step from making a dart blaster with self contained cartridges (and no in-built propulsion)
look up “leblasto Scully”
its already done, and very cool might i add, will add link later
@@NoobGaming-op3ob yooo i'm excited
@@britishrex5515 WE'RE excited*

Joel being like Cave Johnson:
We fire the whole bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet!
Aperture science nerf turret when
@@DarkKryo thats actually a really goog idea
But i got another idea and that is a tf2 sentry with camera
Nerf guns already fire the whole bullet.
By putting the propellent inside the bullet Joel was the one firing 35% less bullet.
@@humanperson8418 the mechanism may weight more si maybe it's more bullet pero bullet
I love that David has become a regular part of the channel. We can all live vicariously through his child-like excitement over your projects.
You need to stuff a slightly slower burning charge into the nose. It will ignite after the nitrocellulose and act as base bleed or like a sustainer motor, and significantly increase the range. You could also fashion some sort of converging/diverging nozzle to tuck into the end to optimize specific impulse, that should increase the range too.
This project was a literal banger! Definitely gonna blow up.
You mean the Nerf dart
I agree 🗿

“I have a revision”
“Oh yeah?”
“WHY ArE YoU bACkInG UP”
Add a "barrel" over the cap that is the full length of the interior of the dart. That should contain the gasses for longer and I imagine would shoot MUCH farther than the regular Nerf guns.
Almost like a gun! Wait a minute...
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 Funnily enough it literally is, all modern smokeless powder (usually just referred to as gunpowder nowadays) is granulated nitrocellulose aka flashcotton coated in a thin layer of graphite powder. All the graphite does is prevent the granules from clumping and make it harder to ignite without an intentional ignition source. It literally Is the same thing. No wonder its effective lol.
this was my first thought as well. it would also have the added benefit of increased accuracy since the flash cotton would be mostly expended before the dart left the tube, so it would work less as a rocket with no fins and more as a launched projectile that uses the body of the dart for stability.
@@EmotionalSupportCube NERF GYROGET
@@Bakkerboy that would be quite something! although it would probably have to fit in one of their larger projectiles.
them flash cotton darts are getting really close to real cartridges lol
LOL thats what i was thinking
@@fruitygranulizer540 Lego gun with working firing pin and stuff these into a magazine or breach load for easiest
Like how volcanic pistol worked ?
@@arandomcomp2427 Nah, volcanic was caseless, this is still leaving something behind.
Idea for improvement: using a small metal tube that fits inside the dart and is sealed on the capacitor side. The expandig gases could then accelerate the dart over a much longer distance.
The idea that you'd have to adjust for recoil while firing a dart from your fingertips is funny to me for some reason. Cool!

How do you come up with such great ideas?! I never tought of this and yet I need it so much
Practice, oddly enough
@@JoelCreates - Mhm. Mhm. I see. So, what you're saying is... if you build all the bad ideas there could possibly be, the only things remaining, by process of elimination, are the good ideas! ... I think this is what other makers think of you, but with only the bad ideas.
@@JoelCreates wow I should get to practicing then:), thanks for the reply!

Old 007 movie

This was amazingly fun and lifted my spirits! Love it!
I wonder if a self contained system that activates when the dart is thrown could be viable.
Would be pretty sick!
im not sure there would be space for it. im not an engineer, but on the outside is dangerous for whatever measures the speed, and the inside is where the spring and combustion is happening. unless you add a completely new area inside seperated from the combustion, which would be difficult for people at home
still would be cool as hell
@@TuxedoDogss I'm envisioning some kind of momentum based catch like a bb that slides a little bit and triggers it.
@@TuxedoDogss what about just firing when the button's released instead of pressed
@@njdotson add a little delay to that and you're golden
To make them go farther, I found weighing them at the tip slightly made a world of difference. This would require modding the bullet, but it works great
I don't think modding the bullet is a problem anymore...
Put hot glue into the hole in the tip.
or just buy different darts
another option is cutting the dart in half
For distance, take a page out of Nerf modding from the 00s and make Stefans - 1/2" closed-cell foam backing rod, heat it up to make it straighten out, hot glue a BB to the front. Or you can cut down darts or even buy short darts off the shelf these days, they're the same weight but more aerodynamic because they've got less foam - though you're also cutting down on the size of propellant you can fit inside.
A 1/4" slingshot steel ball slides right in up to the tip.

that ending. Those words picked were so good
Fantastic video, I love that ending scene
On the one hand I'm the tiniest bit sad it's not an entirely self propelled nerf dart.
On the other that is ridiculously cool how you managed to get everything to work so well at such a small scale.
It is self propelled technically, as the cotton is contained in the nerf dart and the capacitor does not provide propulsion.
entirely self propelled is impossible from third law

@@person1082 You could describe rockets as self-propelled.
@@theneonbop those excrete matter to move but the point of them is to not need to
My friends at a nerf battle: Cmon man grab a nerf gun! Nerf bullets dont fire themselves!
Me: *yes they do.*
I wonder if you could make a nerf revolver out of the capacitor darts. The hammer would strike the switch, fire the dart, and you'd get some fire out the end of the barrel from the flash cotton. I bet that would look really cool
Only Joel could come up with this, love your channel
Thanks Dragon
Being a 20+ year old man-child, seeing this makes me wish I was 12 again, playing all-out-war against my friends in my living room. I mean on top of that, I used to modify my nerf darts too. Cutting them down and putting tacts in them so they'd stick to the walls(I can still remember my mum getting mad at me for that). But this is on a whole other level.
Airsoft is the adult version of that
Man remember the old pen gun/rubber band gun/modified cap gun video tutorials? Those were the days.
I felt 12 when the capacitor blaster first worked
It’s so cool to see you grow! This video was great quality
Oh damn. That scorpion nerf gun at 3:58 unlocked a core memory. I had one of those as a kid.
Aw man I know I was shooting it but the ending had me cracking up.
Dave deserves an oscar for his preformance
One of your best videos yet for sure
Haha I loved the Reservoir Dogs montage at the end. I totally gotta build a compositor igniting nerf bullet now. Super cool build!
That's such a cool idea and both of your prototypes are fantastic! The spring one is just close enough to a normal nerf gun that it's funny to see shoot and the capacitor one adds that extra bang! Nice!!
Nice builds. Now I imagine a whole bandolier or two of them :P
Also, maybe you could rig a bunch together for a shotgun blast equivalent.
This is the kinda stuff you become a nerf super spy with, disguising it as a pen or something
Also, could rig these like claymores, mines, trip traps, or frag grenades too.
@@dbio305 there are already spy pen guns
I see your Super Scope there in the background... I had one when I was a kid... But I !HATED! batteries (still do, at least traditional batteries). So, at 12, I opened it up and wired in a AC/DC convertor so I could just plug it in to an extension cord near where I was playing, and NEVER worry about dead batteries mid-game
"that was very threatening, i like that alot"
OMG DUDE!!!!
Wow, Now you can load those into an actual nerf gun for faster bullets I MEAN NERF DART! :D
Delayed ignition for maximum range (Assuming that Newton's laws don't get in the way.)? Maybe their rocket idea might actually work for that as well?
What a great video! Loved it thoroughly!!!
I've watched many people try and fail to fire a bullet without a gun, it feels liberating to see that someone finally succeeded
Challenge accepted! Great teamwork... great results! Brilliant production!
I thought nothing could be even simpler than the Uppercut, yet here we go, great design!
Imagine using this in a tag war, lol you would be a real hitman
I like how in every video, he always where a ushanka. I love it so much
haha i did something similar as a kid, used party popper charges, an metal pen, and airsoft bbs. had a spring method as well, flipping the mechanism around inside pilot g2 pens makes a little ink tube launcher. both were great to get friends with, this would have taken the cake tho! great video!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! ❤❤❤❤
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
For the flash cotton version you're almost immediately letting all the energy back out once it slides off the capacitor's edge, a guidance tube would help couple that energy better and across a longer distance into the dart and also help with the slightly wild directions it was firing off at, will likely need less cotton for more energy output also.
Was just thinking this. Plus maybe line the inside of the dart so it contains the expanding gas better?
Also, flash cotton is good and all for initial acceleration, but it wont serve well if the darts low inertia cannot combat air friction. In other words, we need the dart to continue accelerating while its in the air.
Just section off the flash cotton using paper, so that it would set off in stages rather than all at once. Something like:
###| ###|### |###
##############
###| ###|### |###
Where the # is cotton, and | is paper. If cut correctly, the paper can serve as a temporary nozzle as well. Not only that, but this could also be contained in a tube of paper/plastic, and be ready to fire immediately. Besides that, the dart will need to be slightly modified so that it won't spin out from the awkward forces. Something simple, like fins, could be used to ensure a straight trajectory (and angling said fins to cause the dart to rotate while airborne will help)
Damn, I'm sad I'm not gonna be able to test it out.
“Hey, wanna play with nerf darts?”
“You mean nerf guns?”
*Did I stutter?*
I'm gonna need to see a Part 2 where you attempt some of the improvements suggested by your rocket scientist comment section.
The interior charge tube and dual-stage/dual-density fuel in particular sound lit.
The supercapacitor/flash cotton combo was a really fantastic idea! A surprisingly optimal solution to the problem.
Can't believe it took the two of you so long to realize a spring loaded self firing dart.
What a James Bond move to just pull out in the middle of a nerf showdown. Amazing!
This actually has a pretty interesting practical use. With something like this you could design an airsoft gun with no charging mechanism. All airsoft guns need to pull a spring back, electronically spin a wheel launcher, or use some other manual mechanism because the darts aren't self propelling. With this you could make practical airsoft guns that have basically as many limits as a conventional one. We could finally see a true lever action airsoft, a break action airsoft, or a full auto without whirring noises. Has great commercial potential (as well as great video topic potential)
you always have such great ideas
Thanks Björn

LOL!
One of your best videos!
It'd be cool if you could make the spring powered ones have shells and use them in a manually operated system. Something like a lever action. A couple of ideas to make them better could be a sturdy, low friction, inner tube/end cap to allow for ever stronger springs.

Bro you have been hacked
Idk the shop guys name, but I love him.
A real homie.
8:10 'hard to press' 😂😂 I've played around with those a few times n it is so painful🤣
That end line was perfect
You could use the capacitors themselves as a propellant. Just apply a voltage higher than the limit and they pop. ElectroBoom already taught us
You could also do Neodymium - Iron - Bore permanent launcher and a coil in the nerf bullet. With that kind of capacitor in the launcher you can achieve very powerful shots without burning your nerf projectiles
Every time someone starts a sentence with "this" followed by a brief pause, Doug Demuro gets a tingle in his neck.
Friggin genius! I never would have thought to use flash cotton. Although I don’t have any hands on experience with it so that’s probably why. But genius none the less
You could probably 3D print some sorta inner housing with tubing that could divert the gasses in a more optimized way to increase thrust 🤔
for the flash powder ones: if you have a longer tube inside with slippery sides you'll get better energy transfer. could also reinforce the dart on the inside, that way 2 tight fitting tubes of controlled friction would probably help give you the longest shot.
That was a SMOOTH ass outro line. Kudos.
Thanks
Came here from Impact Props. Saw this immediately enjoyed every bit
Now make a pinecone like nerf grenade with the mechanism you created. A single activator which can send nerf bullets from the center out. 😂
Quest aerospace makes miniature rocket motors exactly the size you'd need for this kind of project, and they can fling their little rockets a good 100' or so
*"I said put it u-...!"*
That last line got me
plus points for the Barricade appearance
Nerf: "It's Nerf or Nothing"
Joel: "Yes."
AWWWWWHH THATS NIFTYYYY
10:48 only response necessary for this video.
Bros gonna be making things and get a call from the NSA lmaooo
9:50 this could lead to the design of a real flying fireball
U need to combine both working models into one. The dart is realised with a spring and the combustion starts when the dart is already "flying" to make it look cooler and more important to extend its range.
Reservoir dogs nod at the end was amazing
The problem you were having with the bulk of the combustible methods was a lack of oxidizer. "A syringe full of gasoline" isn't going to do a whole lot without being well mixed with air. A gas engine has to essentially mist gasoline into a volume of air, that is then compressed and ignited.
The guncotton chemically "has it's own air" and doesn't require a whole lot else to go bang.
The best Fuel to use for such a small thing is HHO, its already at the perfect stoichiometric air/fuel ratio and will ignite with a tiny static spark and it packs one helluva punch, oh and the best part is its free, doesn't cost a thing
*_This is an example of technology going compact: something that is mentioned frequently in the S.T.E.M fields._*
Wow, that content is extremely good.
Best line ever "ohhh, that's nifty" 🤣
Thanks for unlocking that Nerf Whiptail Scorpion gun memory
Now create a nerf dart that shoots a nerf gun that shoots a nerf dart that shoots a nerf gun that shoot an actual bullet:)
