Air Powered Potato Cannon

This is a video demonstration of an air powered potato gun that I made. I tested it in my garage, at various presures 30, 50, 75, and 90 PSI. High speed camera shows the extreme slow motion as the potato explodes when it comes into contact with the plywood.
Checkout my other videos, or shoot me an idea if there is something you want me to shoot out of the air cannon.

Many more videos to come so please subscribe. Thanks, Tim

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.

is it just me who wanted to pump it till it got too 150 psi then watch it get obliterated!

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!
