Having a Good Potato Cannon at Hand Could be a Blast
Everyone loves to devour potato's, but firing them from a blaster could be just as 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 to engineer your own potato blaster.
It is crucial to point out to persons the aim of your spud gun is increased by the length of your barrel. Additionally you have 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 have a shorter combustion socket having a wide diameter, an electrical ignition from a transportable camping stove, a sharpened barrel edge (for faster loading of potatoes), a shoulder harness for easier aiming, as well as an under-barrel ram pole similar to those used on muskets and old guns. Never shoot a potato launcher from on top of your shoulder. A slip next to the face can kill you.
(Flaming, explosive, black powder, or living projectiles can frequently create a legal spud blasters illegal in lots of 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 finding a twist-type ignitor for a camping stove or lamp. You can also buy a Barbeque manufacturer push-button ignitor switch that 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 handful of diameter reducers to get right down to exactly the same size as the nipple with respect to the size the cylinder you start with.
The fuel sources which i have used previously have been mainly Hairspray. I wouldn't recommend anything more powerful. Tinkering with fuel sources can be very dangerous and lead to harm or death towards the person if proper precautions aren't taken. A guide to follow along with in testing this is to continually start with baby levels of whatever propellant you are using as a weaker explosion would merely send the potato out at a slow rate. Quote about the distance that this blaster goes. Make sure you possess the space to fire this without destroying anything and address it like a firearm, not a toy. Keep in mind to obey the law and check together with your city's local laws and codes before preparing. Lastly...have fun with your new invention.
