Good idea. In its current form, it doesn't have much power, being so far as I can tell on par with some of the more energetic airsoft replicas. But ATF has a long history of ignoring the minor detail that it's Congress that makes the laws, not the ATF and arbitrarily declaring things to be illegal with no actual authority to do so. I would not be at all surprised if ATF decided that the ice rifle looked scary and people were having too much fun and something had to be done. He might be able to avoid some trouble by not painting it black, though. Black would make it scarier and, therefore, more dangerous. Oh, and not putting a folding stock on it. Folding stocks make things more dangerous too, well known fact.

Going back and looking at the design you would also want to put a draft angle in the small water inlet and outlet holes in the direction of flow. You would also want to try and insolate the larger water inlet and outlet holes to try to prevent them from freezing. Maybe cutting a ring around them down far enough so they still have enough support would do the trick.

I haven't run any feasibility calculations for this, but food for thought. It's simple enough to add a resistive heater to supplement the TEC if needed.

You can also use the same pressure to fill your chamber, close the exit port and pressurise your tank to two atmospheres and it will fill the chamber and compress all the trapped air into the overflow port. All you need is a few valves and a reservoir to store one shot of gas (so it can expand faster than boiling when fired).. I don't think you would need to heat the chamber to release the slug. Having a 1% taper would break it free, once moving it will deform to the size of the barrel easily.

@ConceptCraftedCreations yes several times. I remember the first one I ever came across was in a 12 volt cooler. I played with it, and it condensed the water out of the air. After that I went to ebay and bought 10 large ones. I love that you can pull energy from them or supply energy to them. I used a couple in projects. One was as a cold substrate plate in my RfCVD unit. It's also fun to add them to a sterling cycle. Basically, the better the temperature gradient, the more energy you can get from the heat and cold of the environment. They are great for so many reasons. They are used on satellites that use radio isotope telescope to convert the thermal energy from the radioactive source. It's called a telescope because it's really a giant boom to keep the source away from the sensitive equipment. I've layered pyrolitic graphite onto one side with cvd and improved the efficiency 8 percent. If I had used cvd polycrystalline diamond coat, I'm sure it would have been even more impressive. Their nifty little solid state devices and are cheap to make. They could have uses that could generate power in ways that aren't intuitive. 🙂

I've played enough fallout to know that this is a cryolator with the long barrel conversion 😂 I've read some of the comments and I'd recommend the reverse cone shaped chamber with maybe a slightly larger opening on the ejection port and a riffled barrel that slightly tappers at the beginning to make sure the ice doesn't break apart inside. I'd also recommend reversing the polarity of the Pelztier elements to heat up the block, or having sort of jacketed chamber that you can pass a separately heated liquid (maybe heated using the same Peltzier elements) through quickly just to loosen the ice. Another idea would be to use teflon inside the chamber and remove the need entirely. Last thing I'd recommend would be to use another P element to keep the water reservoir cool. The closer it already is to freezing, the faster it will freeze. Maybe set up a small venturi line that takes in air or some gas that compresses so that when the water freezes it has room to expand. Can't wait to se V2!

Speaking of which, I'd love to see it chronoed. It's just a top of my head guess but... I'd say somewhere between 250 and 350 fps?

It may look sunny and warm in the video but the temperature was only just above freezing temperature🥶 Something I hesitated for a long time about whether to mention it in the video or not... But because I didn't plan to share the project in any way whatsoever due to safety, and because it could theoretically be done if you use the water from the reservoir to cool the pletier elements, I decided to leave that detail out because I felt that it would undermine the whole project a bit if you understand what I mean?🤓

Improvement idea: Maybe having those valves being shaped in a certain way would allow to have a better bullet. Wether you shape it for speed, terminal ballistics or whatever. People called it an ice rifle, and i had seen some subsonic bullets (300 blackout? i dont really remember, but the video i seen it at was from one of those most famous gun youtubers and he was testing a bunch of subsonic projectiles, including ballistic gel) That had a LOT of spin, and defnitelly dumped all of that energy on the target.

That's super cool! You should make a version with 30mm diameter projectiles and rifling on the barrel. Ice isn't very dense compared to normal bullets. But if you shoot a heavy chunk of ice at moderate velocities, air resistance shouldn't make it lose power too fast, and it would stay pretty precise compared to a lighter projectile traveling at faster velocities.

would make more sense to use a barrel chambering mechanism that's separate from the magazine chamber, in this way only the barrel chamber needs to be cooled and you don't have to worry about the magazine chamber clutching from ice. You already use cyclic pieces in the mag chamber, just eject the water from the cyclic piece closest to the barrel to create a natural thermal wall of air. Would allow for chambering shots to be ONLY limited to how quickly the water can be cooled to ice, rather than cooled + re-heated. Firearms are very well developed, there's no need to try and re-invent the wheel just because you're using a different material, just have to go about it differently. Damn cool video though!

I'm in games programming, so my thinking may not translate to mechanical engineering all that great, but here goes. An idea for a possible v2: Split the factory and the barrel and have the factory make ice for a magazine that can store them. If you produce one ice block every 10 minutes, you could walk around with it for 30 minutes and have three shots ready to go. That basically sounds like a pretty cool mechanic for a game even. I'm also guessing that you could form the ice to shapes that travel better through the air than just cylinders. Give them a spike in front and a sort of tail in the back and they probably both travel straighter and penetrate better on hit. This would probably increase the complexity of the project quite significantly though.

Hey there CCC, I enjoyed your video, and I thank you for sharing such an interesting idea. -This video made me think it would be cool to make a gun that made ice bullets and then loaded them into a revolving barrel to then be shot out using high pressure water or air from a nitrogen piston similar to the Crossman break barrel rifle. I wonder if you could even make varied bullet tip profiles with different weights. -Would be cool to make it yield one bullet per minute with a holding chamber that supports a 6 round refrigerated magazine to fully harden the ice by bringing it down to even lower temperatures (the magazine refrigerator could be made of ceramic, silicon, or something that has small pores so ice cannot stick to it). -You could even use a small recirculating pump with high flowrates as seen in 12v applicator sprayer pumps for trucks like Scott's lawn care, True green, or any chemical applicator company that needs a high flowrate low pressure pump to momentarily transfer heat away from the refrigerated magazine to rapidly heat the bullet-ice-maker to enable the bullets to release from the walls of the chamber. I think aquarium pumps might even work so long as you never get air in the line, otherwise they air-lock as they are usually non-positive displacement pumps like a cenfrifugal pump.

@mansfieldtime An Ice Pellet Gun does sound fitting! Do you think higher pressure could take this device to a whole new level, or is there a limit to what you’d expect?

@@ConceptCraftedCreations I Am NOT an expert. Still, theses are my thoughts. The increase of pressure will definitely improve projectile speed. However there is a point where the ice will move so fast it simply evaporate. Even at Super High speeds, Titanium heats up and expands. So personally I don't think it would be effective to go super sonic. I do believe doubling the pressure will not mathematically double your speed, or range, it would be more like 1.8 times faster. With the current bullet size you could easily make it deadly. However, because this is ice, an increased speed would have an increased air resistance and so I think as you add more and more pressure, at some point you will notice shorter and shorter ranges. Unless you increase mass of the bullet. But then you would eventfully run into the Square Cubed Law, conundrum. Have you seen "Smarter everyday Super Sonic Baceball cannon."??? Honestly, didn't think it was possible. So whatever you do, please continue to document. Whether you do manage to make a super sonic ice pellet or find the relative Speed ice evaporates, Physics is going to continue to fascinate me.

I think you could simplify the design a lot by removing the heating elements, and reversing the polarity of the peltier plates whenever you want to heat the ice. In addition to the simplicity, it would be more energy efficient, and might be faster. Either way, it looks like it was a very cool project, and well-designed!

something that has potential to work is make a mold inside the chamber to mold the ice into a more aerodynamic/ballistic projectile. I thought of using 2 pieces of metal that can slide in/out so that the bullet can be fired.

A built-in mold inside the chamber could definitely streamline the process, especially if it creates a more aerodynamic shape for the ice projectiles! Using two sliding metal pieces sounds like a smart way to ensure it releases smoothly when fired. Have you experimented with molds in other projects before, or would this be a new approach for you?

Instead of using the heating rods you can just flip the polarity of the current of the thermo block which you used to make ice it will no longer need extra material and also help in making more bullets for the next round faster as the other side will be colder already to exchange heat

So the small pump holes serve also as pressure escape as the ice freezes? Sketchy but brilliant. I'm most astonished that you didn't seem to need an extremely fast pressure relief system.

It’s definitely a bit of a risky design choice, but it seemed to work out well in this build! And i used a small solenoid valve to release all the pressure at once. Do you think there are other ways to improve this pressure management?

Mythbusters launched an ice cannonball with a real cannon at tremendous speeds, was that a water gun? Great project, nicely done. I think o rings inside the PVC pipe is a better seal than pushing from the end, you can file a channel in your existing part with a drill as an improvised lathe.

That Mythbusters ice cannonball was epic! Definitely gives a new twist on what counts as a “water gun,” right? And good call on the O-rings inside the PVC-it would probably create a more secure seal. Love the improvised lathe idea with a drill too! Have you tried that technique before?

honestly if you ask me, that's an ice gun, not a water gun. as far as i'm concerned the water in a water gun has to be liquid when it's leaving the barrel in order to call it a water gun. if it's solid when leaving the barrel, that's an ice gun.

@@ConceptCraftedCreations use electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. ignite with a spark and you have water based propellent giving as much power as you desire. i would imagine it could go supersonic. after forming the projectle reverse the polarity on the peltier chips to relese it and recover some potential energy for the next freeze. heat the barrel slightly and use a twisted hexagon shape. no more than half a twist or the centripetal force will destroy the bullet. before firing inject a little water behind the bullet to act as wadding to seal the gasses

For the next version using generative design may be interessting and see if you maybe could even add that to the main component it self to make it more compact/efficient in producing ice bullets. A feature would be sick were you could change the calliber it self but also have a sort of amo display. For example if you want bigger callibers it will use more water and based on this it can calculate the amount of shots left. So if you use smaller callibers you can of cause shoot more. I wonder if you could make the water pump section more compact using the concepts of microfluidics.
