The T.W.S. 2 is the second web shooter I've built.
The first T.W.S. was my first attempt ever, with all its pros and cons, the worst part of it was a good percentage of failure when firing, so I decided to restart from scratch the whole T.W.S. project. The first step was finding a new firing mechanism, and after a while I discovered Coil Guns.
Coil Guns are electromagnetic cannons that fire a metal projectile, and their power can be created by particular circuits. One of these is a disposable camera's flash circuit, which from one 1,5v AA battery generates 330v, the voltage charges some capacitors, and then the charge instantly flows into a tube with many layers of enameled wire: the Coil, this causes a strong momentary magnetic field inside the tube propelling a magnetic projectile out of it.
In my case, this was going to be the best solution for the new web shooter, so I took a disposable camera and started building the device.
The T.W.S. 2 is specifically designed for living the city, trying to show a different side of what a Web Shooter is, with new stuff:
-Digital Watch with illuminable display
-USB 8GB customized pen
-Laser Pointer
-Velcro straps on the bottom of the palm buttons and on the side of the bracelet to move the palm-buttons in order to have the wrist and palm free
-3 buttons: Firing, Aiming, Retracting
-A new retraction motor
-Blue and Green "neon effect" light
-2 Batteries: 1,5v AA for the firing mechanism, 9v for the remaining functionalities.
Creating this device was quite challenging, as there are many chances to get different projectile's speeds, if you want to recreate it, keep in mind it's a complex way to get the speed you look for, also be careful as this is a high voltage circuit.
