Hey TKOR Fans! I'm Nate and today we're going to be building a net gun that fits
onto the t-shirt can we've shown you how to build previously to get started you'll want
to head your local hardware store to grab some PVC connections and pipe the first part that we
need to build is our adapter that lets us plug directly into our t-shirt cannon the inside of
our t-shirt cannon is a two inch diameter pipe and we've got three PVC pieces which will make
it easy to build on to the first piece is an extension piece which fits inside a two-inch
pipe on one end on the other end is the same size as the two inch pipe every other piece
that I use today I got at a hardware store but this one piece I had to go to a sprinkler
supply place to get we then have a two inch coupler and a two inch to 3/4 inch reducer
we'll have our extension piece attached to our 2 inch coupler and then reduced down to
3/4 inch with our reducer we'll be using our PVC cement to attach all of our PVC pieces together
those three pieces glued together easily press fit together at the front of our t-shirt cannon
and we can now build on from there the rest of our net gun coming from our adapter we need to split
the air several ways as well as add a folder for the net right in front there will be four prongs
which will hold the weights which will carry the net when it's fired this cross piece will work to
direct the air sideways for the four prongs and forward for the net holder to connect our pieces
together let's cut out two pieces of 3/4 inch PVC pipe that are 2 inches long each the part
of the net launcher that holds the net itself will be assembled from these 3 pieces fitting
on top of our adapter but we don't actually need any air pressing the net out it will slide easily
enough out of the tube so to prevent losing any air out of the front barrel we're going to
take a washer and stop it up using some thick strong tape and use that to completely block
the air flow coming out in the front of this cross piece we're using this washer because it
perfectly fits in between the connector of our 3/4 inch reducer and our 3/4 inch pipe
our taped-up washer should now fit nicely down inside our adapter and with that stopper in place
we can now glue our adapter onto our 3/4 inch PVC pipe to finish off our net holder let's use our
2 inch coupler and a 7 inch length of 2 inch pipe our net gun adapter is coming along nicely it fits
easily into the barrel of our t-shirt cannon and at this point all of the airflow will be directed
out of the sides of this cross piece none will go into this last chamber which is just to hold
our net in place now we need to start building the arms which will branch out to have 4 support
posts for the weighted part of the net to build this framework we've got 4 3/4 inch elbows and 2
3/4 inch tees let's also cut 6 pieces of 3/4 inch PVC each one 5 inches long to start we'll have two
of these pieces of pipe extending off of our cross which will run into the tee pieces each of the tee
pieces will have one piece coming off the top and one piece coming off the bottom all four of those
pieces will then have 90 degree elbows added to the ends of them but I don't want to permanently
attach the elbow pieces yet because we're going to want to make sure we've positioned them correctly
before we glue them down in place pew-pew feels like a spaceship gun or maybe just the spaceship
itself it's like an x-wing the weighted portion of our net is going to be made of this thinner walled
200 psi PVC piping it isn't as strong as regular schedule 40 PVC but because it has thinner walls
it fits nicely over 1/2 inch PVC because of that we'll use 1/2 inch PVC for the supporting arms and
the lighter weight 200 psi of PVC as the weights on the net the 4 elbow pieces are currently the
right size for 3/4 inch PVC so we need to add some reducers to take them down to one cap inch PVC
for the four arms that will be extending away from the frame to hold the weights let's cut
four pieces of the one-half inch PVC each one 15 inches long these four pieces can now fit
into the 1/2 inch reducers on the end of each elbow to make the weights that will attach to
the corners or net let's cut out four pieces of our 200 psi PVC each one about 7 inches in length
these four pieces slide pretty nicely over the 1/2 inch PVC but of course at this point they
can just slide all the way on and there's no way to actually make them launch when air is forced
into them so let's add caps onto all four of these weights at this point all four if our net weights
should fit fairly nicely on to the 1/2 inch PVC and I think we can do a small-scale test let's
fit this onto the front of our t-shirt cannon and add just a little bit of pressure and see if all
four of these will pop off when we fire it for a full-scale firing I would probably take this
all the way up to 80 psi but for now let's just go to about 30 and see what happens all right
let's see if this works 3 2 1 3 out of 4 not bad that one oh that one a little bit of extra glue
on the inside which attached it to the PVC so it turns out if you glue them on they don't come off
now I know now the goal is for me to shoot all four of these weights past my cameraman without
actually striking my cameraman three two one ha beautiful all for fired off like a dream they
only went about 8 to 10 feet but I only had maybe 1/3 of the pressure this is working pretty well
and I like how it's going so I think it's time to assemble the rest of our net I got here some net
with fairly large holes in it which I think would do a little bit better for tangling someone up and
I just cut it to the size that I wanted it's gonna be about 8 or 10 feet by 8 or 10 feet it's kind of
hard to measure because the net just you know it stretches when you pull it one way and then you
pull it the other direction so it's about 10 by 10 you can just decide what size of net is best for
you and of course you want something lightweight so it doesn't have to drag a lot behind it as
it flies through the air we want to attach one of these weights in each corner of the net and
while I want to attach it in a way that's sturdy I don't want it to be so permanent that I couldn't
replace it if something were to happen to this net and it got damaged and I needed to put a new one
on so we'll be using zip ties and a little bit of strong tape to hold it in place zip tie is zipped
on there really nicely and I want to avoid having the net hatch on parts of the zip type so the tape
I'm actually going to use just to smooth this over so things are less likely to get snagged on it
same thing in the other three corners our for weights are now attached to the four corners of
our net so in theory we should be able to load this on and get it to test-fire there are still
two modifications I want to make that I think will make this shoot a little bit more in a spread open
net the first is we want to try and add a little bit more pressure onto the weights I'll take some
electrical tape and wrap it around three or four times just to partially close off the gap between
our one half-inch pipe and our two hundred psi three-quarter inch pipe the other change that I
want to make is while the net does fire off pretty well it doesn't spread out very much vertically
so what I also want to do is add a little bit of bend in the top arms so they point up just
a little bit more let's use a heat gun to heat up the pipe in one spot and add a slight Bend
into it we've now added a little bit of tape onto the end of all four launch our arms and
the two top launcher arms have now been angled upwards just slightly the net is repacked into
the launcher and weary pressurize the t-shirt cannon let's try this again you should also say
that generally speaking this is not for indoor use three two one ah I just snagged a cameraman
I also blew everything apart because I haven't glued it together yet time to do that I think
before we glue each of these on I'm going to mark where I want the elbow and the pipe to line up so
I make sure that as I press it and twist it it will line up just the way I want it to
at this point our net launching attachment is all built and should be ready to go of
course if you wanted to make this a permanent thing you could glue it into the mouth of the
t-shirt cannon but I like being able to choose what my t-shirt cannon is doing and so instead
of gluing it in place it's easy enough to just hold while you launch it if you don't hold it
there is a small chance that the entire assembly could pop out of the mouth and land on the ground
before we take this outside and try catching me in it let's give it a little bit of decoration
the net gun adapter is built it's decorated and
this thing is ready to go outside and be test-fired
