Thread: Ankle Biter System (Self-Contained)

Tweet

I needed a self-contained Ankle Biter System for my garage-haunt, so we threw this one together from parts & pieces I had laying around. The smaller (black) tubing worked great!

Looks good! What PSI are you running thru it?

Sweet. Quick, dirty and totally functional. The best kind of prop. I built an air cannon that fires on people's ankles as they walk by for this year and I'm thinking of doing a tickler for next year.

Thanks for sharing!

About 65psi (without an aux tank and with about 100' of line to each [I have 2 ABS this year - shhhh]). Anything more inflates the tubes and/or airlocks the valves.

Very nice, but Id really prefer to not see the PVC components.

I've actually done something very similar, again completely self contained



The significant feature of this one is that its fully compatible with IP65 regulations, an important feature since it was designed to sit in a cornfield at a local farm attraction

Do the hoses just blow some air on people or do thos hoses whip them? I'm curious to know how these are actually supposed to work. Thanks

It's mostly just a hissing sound, but the hoses do thrash some. I keep them low and short.

Ok, I'll cover them up next time.

probably a good idea, when the PVC shatters then at least you will have a shield to stop the shrapnel.


The hoses on my system are meant to whip people, they are made from surgical tubing so they don't hurt

Better?
