The juggernaut, a paintball tank that will not die

[Trbo323]

Hee! Half a billion paintballs!

Making the whole idea a little more realistic- no, really- fill the tank with compressed air.

Now, propane, according to the internet, has a working pressure of about 180 psi at 90 degrees, so presumably the tank has a working pressure of about 200 psi. There's a number of markers out there that could run that straight, or even reg it a bit lower.

I'm not a mathy type, but one of you might be able to calculate how long, say, twenty or fifty Ethas would last on a tank that size. Say, before the velocity drops below maybe 230?

Doc.

What's not realistic? It's propane, the c3 works on propane, you can buy 94.25 truck loads of paint. Most of the time the tank sits at around 100-110psi. Just depends on the weather

But to look at air

250 Max pressure on the tank
3200 gallons internal water capacity

739,200ci / 250psi in paintball terms

I'm not sure how to figure out at what pressure a etha will drop below a usable velocity

The energy stored in compressed air is volume * pressure. A 68ci, 4500psi tank is 306,000 [arbitrary lbf-in units of energy] and this 739,200ci * 250psi is 184.8 million [arbitrary lbf-in units of energy]. So roughly equal to 604 regular tanks.

The energy actually used by a marker depends on a bunch of thermodynamic factors, but as a rough ballpark, this should be close enough.

Even still if we say the etha is very efficient and can get a case off of a 68/45 (I don't think they are that efficient but let's roll with it) that still means they are only getting 608 cases of paint

Compare that to the 294,000 cases the c3s can get off of the propane

At a bare minimum I can see a certain polar bear and raccoon doing some shenanigans like this. Putting their friends through hellarity in the process.

Lol. The trans Alaska highway game

Omg

So, delta junction AK to Seattle wa is roughly 39 hours of driving and uses the trans Alaska highway

At 3bps with C3s this train of paint can shoot it's whole supply in a little over 38 hours.

So since everyone speeds just a little I figure this train can do the whole trip firing paint the whole time

It's the escape from Alaska game

Or do it the other way and it's the escape to Alaska game

-Heh. I only meant 'realistic' in that you'd need a little less than half a billion paintballs, and wouldn't need to hand-pump thousands of markers.

For the C3s,

Money solves the first problem, autococker pnus solve the second
