me and my friend were dicking around oneday when i saw my old jet lighter the sparker still worked so i was like hey lets make a potato cannon but we dident have any pvc or and else to make one so we took some materials from around the house and made a mini potato cannon heres how we did it:
Materials:
tape (prefferably duct tape but other tape will do)
Glue (not a glue stick super glue or pvc cement)
medicine bottle (prefferably a big one)
pen (one you can take both ends of of so it becomes hollow
sparker (from a jet lighter or a barbecue)
speaker wire or wire of some sort
fuel (butane,propane,hair spray air freshener)
Procedure:
take your bottle and poke to holes in the sides also poke a hole just large enough for your pen to fit into, into the bottom take your wires and hook them up to the sparker so if you out them close together they spark when you press the button. Ok now stick them through the small holes on the sides and make sure inside the bottle they are very close and spark when you push the button.make sure they are not touching or it will not work. Now glue them there and wrap a strip of tape all the way around titely to hold them there and just incase to stop the hot gas from escaping there now let it dry for a bit and get your pen ready so that it is sharppened at one end so it can cut the potato also take out all the stuff inside make sure there there is nothing blocking the hot gas from pushing the potato out now stick it into the hole in the bottom make sure it it centered in the bottom and that it is not to far into the bottle now glue it there maybe wrap some tape around it to make sure it does not just shoot the barrel off with the potato now that your sparker is rigged up and your bottle is ready you should spray in some fuel and letr rip
have fun and plz comment if you are rating my eggs badly remember gasoline would not be a good fuel in this situation
Nov 02, 2006 1:03 pm - You could have posted pics, but to damn lazy. You already have a camera that has good quality so why didn’t you post pics or at least a video of how to make it. By the way, you VERY have bad grammar
