If you were to put a 1/2 by 3" Lag bolt in the potato you'd have a wicked time pulling it out of the garage wall behind the boards. not a nice thing to be chucking round the neighbor hood, just sayin.
Nice little cannon you've got there! Just a tip, if you try making a bigger version of one of these - mine has a 10-foot barrel and air tank :) - you may want to use a ball valve or, if you've got some spare time, make a custom "air piston" to release the air. I've found that sprinkler valves don't release the air as quickly when used in larger cannons, since the air opening is much smaller than that of a piston or ball valve. Keep up the good work!
Thats pretty cool man i like the fact that it is compressed air used for shooting. No way youre shoot can fail! anyway great job pal ! Maybe you should try some tomato paste cans?? And what is the valve you use ??
@maillet420 The valve is a sprinkler valve. Like you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. They use 9-12v to open the valve. Super easy way to make a potato cannon.
@maillet420 Thanks for the comment!! The valve is a spinkler valve you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. I had a hair spray gun, and got tired of it not firing correctly, so this is a really fun way of shooting potatos.
What should I shoot out of this air cannon next? Or what should I shoot into? I need ideas... If I like it, I'll post a video of your idea on youtube. Thanks....
@timbreninger I think shooting into a watermelon, Jell-O mold, or foam block are all worthy of slow motion. By the way, your high speed is sweet, what are you using to shoot that video?
@tzimmerm27 I will see what I can do. I am using a Sony HD camcorder with a high speed option on the camera. It works really well. I had looked into getting a high speed camera and they were out of my price range. Thanks for watching!! Subscribe, more videos to come....

@79wirenut You can find the valves at Home Depot or Lowes. They are sprinker valves. Work great for this project.
