oo A 6,000-Pounder Gun. of our most successful invent- has lately patent- < specifieation Ras been , of an enormous air-gun of $2 inch bore to, throw a 6,000 pound shot. The bore of the gun is to be 'upwards of thirty feet long, and the inventér asserts that he can compass and retain air at a working pressure of 10,000 pounds to the square inch. The sectional area of a 33-inch bore is 80} square inches, and the total initial pressure would thus be 8,- 042,400 pounds, or nearly 3,600 tons. Tt would, of course, be next to impossible to pump in air fast enough at this enormous sure too keep a pressure air is to be contained in a huge casing or jacket formed around the bore of the gun, and hav- we the same capacity of say 165 ic feet. Thus, instead of the pressure being reduced almost to nil ,at the muzzle, the air would have been expanded but two-fold on the discharge of the shot ; and if we dis- vegard the influence of rarefaction, and consequent cooling by expansion and its effect on the pressure, we should have 5,000 pounds per square inch still left. If we take the average pressure at %,500 pounds throughout the length of the , we shall have 2,400 tons exerted throngh thirty feet, or say 72,000 foot tons, and this, were the air to follow fast enough, would send a 6,000-pound shot at the rate of more than 1,800 fect per second. As no ordinary valve could be opened quickly enongh to admit air udoer such pressure, and in such quanti- ties, the shot itself forms the valve. The high pressure air in the air casing or jacket enters the chambers of the gun through ports, like those by which steam enters a steam cyl- inder. The shot--a short cylinder with hemispherical or pointed ends --is 80 packed as to close these parts while the jacket is being pumped full. To discharge the gun, a little high pressure is separately pumped in behind the shot,s0 as to start it on and past the ports, when the stored up air does the rest of the work. Although. there may be certain practical difficulties in carrying out this scheme, it possesses great inter- est, and we shall look with much curiosity, lo its practical realization. -- Engineer, Tue Cvsrant Worn.-- This trou- Dlesome pest having again made its appearance with its work of destrac- tion upon our gooseberry and cur velocity of the shot, so the SuGa SODA-WATER.
