Potato guns (aka potato cannons)
« on: July 15, 2006, 02:26:14 pm »
I like to mess around with potato guns occasionally. I made one out of steel that runs on air, its very clean and a bit more powerful than regular hairspray powered potato guns (also more reliable.).

Anyone wanna know how to build a hairspray one? I could help.

Yeah, what Ergot said. You use a BBQ ignitor (causes a spark) that ignites the hairspray, causing explosing (and expansion) that pushes the potato out.

Crazed, mine runs on an air compressor.

I guess if I were in a duel I'd rather have a bullet shooting gun than a potator shooting gun.

You're trying to launch a potato... not a bowling ball.

mmm, is propane cheaper or more expensive?

couldnt you just have a smaller chamber & then put a small amount of propane in that to launch?

Propane burns too hot, and might create too violent of an explosion, not sure.

If it's made out of steel, you'd really have to worry about shrapnel, wouldn't you?
