Using a Good Potato Cannon at Hand Could be a Blast

Everybody loves to devour potato's, but firing them from 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 is 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 crucial to point out to persons that the aim of your spud gun is increased through the length of your barrel. Additionally you have to observe that the combustion chamber has to be enlarged if you are using an extended barrel or are looking for extended distance. The best models I have seen so far possess a shorter combustion socket having a wide diameter, an electric ignition off of a transportable camping stove, a sharpened barrel edge (for faster loading of potatoes), a shoulder harness for easier aiming, and an under-barrel ram pole much like those utilized on muskets and old guns. Never shoot a potato launcher from on top of your shoulder. A slip alongside your face can kill you.

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

How to make a potato gun

The real skill on a combustion based potato gun is choosing the best firing source. Try getting a twist-type ignitor for a camping stove or lamp. You can also buy 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 right down to exactly the same size as the nipple depending on the size of the cylinder you start with.

The fuel sources that I have used previously happen to be mainly Hairspray. I would not recommend anything more powerful. Tinkering with fuel sources can be quite dangerous and lead to harm or death to the person if proper precautions aren't taken. A guide to follow along with in testing this is to always begin 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 have the space to fire this without destroying anything and treat 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 brand-new invention.
