Using a Good Potato Cannon available Could be a Blast


Everybody loves to devour potato's, but firing them out of a blaster could be just like amusing. Also called a spudzooka, potato gun, potato cannon and Spud Gun, this is an amusing project that demonstrates the principles of physics. Area of the kicks and enjoyment of preparing a potato gun would be to test out the fundamental configuration to tweak performance and learn useful engineering instruction. Here's how you can engineer your personal potato blaster.

It is vital to point out to persons that the aim of your spud gun is increased through the period of your barrel. You also need to note that the combustion chamber needs to be enlarged if you are using an extended barrel or are searching for extended distance. The best models I have seen so far possess a shorter combustion socket having a wide diameter, an electric ignition from a portable camping stove, a sharpened barrel edge (for faster loading of potatoes), a shoulder harness for easier aiming, and an under-barrel ram pole similar to those used on muskets and old guns. Never shoot a potato launcher from on your shoulder. A slip next to the face can kill you.

(Flaming, explosive, black powder, or living projectiles can often make a legal spud blasters against the law in many jurisdictions. Many heavily settled areas have ordinances on projectiles and booming noises.)

The actual skill on a combustion based potato gun is finding the right firing source. Try getting a twist-type ignitor for any camping stove or lamp. To keep your a Barbeque manufacturer push-button ignitor switch which is usually sold at hardware stores or anywhere that sells gas barbeques.

The internal launch spud gun is befitting, specifically for portability purposes. However, a pneumatic spud gun greatly decreases reloading times, maintenance times, and mess. You may need a couple of diameter reducers to get down to exactly the same size because the nipple depending on the size the cylinder you start with.

The fuel sources that I have used in the past happen to be mainly Hairspray. I would not recommend anything more powerful. Experimenting with fuel sources can be very dangerous and lead to harm or death to the person if proper precautions aren't taken. A rule of thumb to follow along with in testing this is to always start with baby levels of whatever propellant you are using like a weaker explosion would merely send the potato out at a slow rate. Be warned about the distance this blaster will go. Make sure you have the space to fireplace this without destroying anything and address it like a firearm, not really a toy. Also remember to obey what the law states and check together with your city's local laws and codes before preparing. Lastly...have fun with your new invention.
