Homemade cyclone feed!!

There is a pic somewhere of Dennis with a cyclone on a 98. I remember first hearing about the cyclone system, and I swear I heard it was for the 98, but they put it on the A5.

Go for it.

there its is how they hooked up the gas is where the little nub is where you would hook up the hose line for the response trigger

have fun they wont get mads unless u make money off it

oh yeh u dont need to make a homemade one u can find a new cyclone in classifieds cause some people that bought a-5s early in production bought a better cyclone that keeps up better

 

on a personal note I BROKE 100

See, I was right, pic of dennis, and prototype for the 98:

Actually the cyclone spins when the bolt retracts. And it doesnt need to be exact. The sprockets rotate by spring power, not by air. The air pushes the ratchet in place, then when the gas is let off, the spring return rotates the sprockets.

Wouldnt chop if you made it wrong at all. Does your a5 chop when you push the manual feed plunger when the bolt is closed? No, it just puts a bit of pressure on the ball, and finishes rotating when the bolt clears.

And to the dude that said the cyclone patent only covers blowback power, try again. If you look up the patent number on the bottom of the cyclone, you get the patent for the factory f/a, which used spring power.

i would buy it...

 

 

have fun and post pics if successful.

i think you should try it. would be really cool if made.

you could just get a halo or something and cut it up so it drops the balls directly into the chamber.

i dont see y tippmann would be mad at u....u might just inspire them to actually make a cyclone feed for the 98c....that would be great for a lot of people.....

Ya, I can see a cyclone with the bars off, in an angel over the feed actually working.
