How does it work? It is like a catapult? Or maybe a big slingshot? It would really hurt to be hit by a high-velocity potato from such a cannon!

I used butane lighter fuel or hairspray. It's actually a wonder I still have all my parts.... A true cannon. I got in trouble several times with police. For the record, I wouldn't recommend anyone building one 'cause they can be very dangerous (with only a PVC combustion chamber!)

You can read some more about 'em here just be sure to read some of the stories - you'll ROFLYAO!!!

We have a propane-powered PVC cannon at the cottage. 2 meters long, with a fat combustion chamber at the bottom and a skinny barrel for more velocity. There's also a remote ignition system, so we can take cover

Kaaa-FOOM. Then, a few seconds later, a splash far across the lake

We even made a silencer for it out of metal, which works surprisingly well. Cuts the noise level way down, and dosen't seem to affect the power.

rdouglass, how do you have a 23 minute separation between double Posts, with a post by SJ in-between? That is amazing!
