Potato Launcher

[uzi9mm]

I just made a potato launcher!

A potato launcher is like an bazooka that shoots potatoes or any object that will fit in the barrel, and it is powered either by propane, air (pneumatic), or other various combustible gases. We used the combustible gases variation plans, it mostly runs off AquaNet hairspray.

Here is a simple diagram of my plans.

Here is a demo video of what it looked like when it was launched, i am currently working on a more in depth video of it, the video does not show how we made it, because all you need is some common sense/ But it is more about a documentary. Soon I will be shooting this at a computer!

My shop teacher made a cantalope launcher a few years back. It was like the patatoe gun Uzi made but out of stell and then he used acetylene for the propellant. That was amazing.

In my part of the country, it's a potato gun.

a golf ball launcher would pwn. . . . . my brother gets 50 packs of golf balls from work for like $2.50.

That's why golf balls cost so much for the rest of us...
