Having a Good Potato Cannon available Can Be a Blast
Everyone loves to devour potato's, but firing them out of 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. Part of the kicks and enjoyment of preparing a potato gun is to experiment with the basic configuration to tweak performance and learn useful engineering instruction. Here's how to engineer your personal potato blaster.
It is crucial to point out to persons the aim of your spud gun is increased by the period of your barrel. You also need to observe that the combustion chamber has to be enlarged if you work with an extended barrel or are searching for extended distance. The finest models I've come across to date have a shorter combustion socket with a wide diameter, an electrical ignition off of 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 your shoulder. A slip next to the 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.)
The actual skill on the combustion based potato gun is finding the right firing source. Try finding a twist-type ignitor for any camping stove or lamp. To keep your a Barbeque manufacturer push-button ignitor switch that is usually sold at hardware stores or anywhere that sells gas barbeques.
The interior 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 obtain right down to the same size because the nipple with respect to the size of the cylinder you start with.
The fuel sources which i used in the past happen to be mainly Hairspray. I would not recommend anything more powerful. Experimenting with fuel sources can be quite dangerous and result in harm or death towards the person if proper precautions aren't taken. A guide to follow in testing this would be to always begin with baby amounts of whatever propellant you are using like a weaker explosion would merely send the potato out at a slow rate. Quote about the distance this blaster goes. Make sure you have the space to fire this without destroying anything and treat it just like a firearm, not really a toy. Keep in mind to obey the law and check with your city's local laws and codes before preparing. Lastly...enjoy your new invention.
