i want one!

ok... so first i built a tennis ball launcher out of cambells soup cans in about the 7th grade... the tennis ball just happens to fit PERFECTLY inside of them... top off, bottom off... ducttape... top off bottom off ducttape... ok now i have a tennis ball launcher... very crude... shot flames out the back when i fired it... but very fun.



then the air powered potato gun for my 8th grade science fair project was cool.... i only pumped it up to like 50 PSI and my valve wasnt anywhere near good enough... but it worked... very fun.



next in the 10th grade, i helped a friend build his *insert flammable liquid here* potato gun for his science fair project. but the price for building 2 (actually 3) was just a little more than building 1... so we built 3 instead... one for me, one for him, one for another friend... 3 friends with potato guns and nobody actually got shot with it... except with paintballs... that was fun.



ok idk about you guys but my next project is the flamethrower... the only question is.... what is after that? i'll turn 25 and build a rocket launcher or a small nuke or something??

Wow... That's wicked awesome. That might be my new homeade project. Even though I'll probably die in a massive explosion.

the scary thing is now i am actually going to go buy all the supplys tommarow.

have fun, take pics!

I thought that was going to be Aaron for sure. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif





Spud Gunner!

we'll be reading about him in DARWIN AWARDS pretty soon

Haha



That's AWESOME



Imagine robbing a bank with that.. What an investment!

If you ever build a potato cannon, and it has a PVC primary chamber, use caution when adding oxygen for greater power. Because it feels kinda funny when it blows up in your arms and you will have temporary to permanent hearing damage;)
