Day Horn

[Goldhunter]

You know, I do remember squeezing a paper cup full of, eh, adult beverage, :wink: that lost liquid. :hmm: I guess it's possible I may be wrong. :grin: :haha:

-----I DON'T THINK SO-----look at a full tube of toothpaste--if you squeeze it down a little it doesn't have the same amount of space inside and paste oozes out----- :thumbsup:

Huh??.... :shocked2:

Not to start an arguement, but your tooth paste tube comparison squeeze test doesn't fly!

Why?

(1) A TP tube is plyable and not rigid like a horn. (2) Tooth paste is a semi-liquid. (3) The pressure of you squeezing on the tube and TP oozing out, is because you forgot to put the cap back on!.... :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake:

The reason water, tooth paste or any liquid will over-flow is because of the flexibility of the container. A horn is rigid and hard walled and a dry substance i.e. black powder etc., will hold the same amount by volume.

Take a large brass cartridge case and fill it with salt (powder). Now dump the salt out in small container. Put the same cartridge case in vise or flatten a little with pliers. Now pour the powder from the small container back into the cartridge case. 100% will fit into case.

way to solve the problem, call or write the bevel brothers from the Muzzleblast magazine n get them to test out wether a flattened horn holds as much as it did originaly while round. I ain't much of a betten man but my money is on that it WON'T!! Or maybe one of the fellas here that make horns can test it out when they next make a flattened horn, fill it with water before flattening, save the water n try to refill the horn after flattening n see if it all fits

Except for Muzzle Blasts. I have! It does! and I do regularly!

Have a nice day :wink:

just took a tin can n filled it with water to overflowing, poured it out into a measureing cup n measured how much the can held, came out to 1 3/4 cups of water, pinched the can sides together until they were about an inch or so apart simaler to a flattened horn, poured the water back in, with the can to overflowing I still had at least 1/3 of a cup of water left over, THEREFORE a flattened horn(with stiff or hard consistency sides etc,)will not hold as much as it did in its original round shape. with this self evident proof I am done with this discussion,Horner all I can say is ya must be useing magical horns

You are correct. If you start with a circle (most area), and you compress it into an oval, you decrease the area within the circle. This holds true for the volume of a cylinder (horn) as well.

This ain't rocket science --- just squeeze the sides of a plastic milk jug and watch the milk come out the top.

fellows, i just caught a error in my orginal description. the horn holds almost a half pound of powder, not a pound. that's why i call it a day horn. the chain is fairly easy to make using the round needle nose pliers used in beading. you'll find them beside the wire in craft stores. wish i could find some antiqued brass wire for the chains.
