How To Make A Potato Cannon (Combustion) Advanced Ep 2 of 2

Finally! Here is a tutorial video on how to make a combustion potato cannon..
Check Video description for FAQ's

TheBuG or MushiYoshi. The video shows how i made my standard size potato cannon step by step. Made in Norway

Speed and distance : of the potato is 600km/h and it shoots ca 200m.

Spark igniter : search ebay for "electronic spark igniter" sold by sterling products.

Fan : the chamber fan can be used for 2 things. the most importiant is ventilating your combustion chamber after each shot so you get fresh air into the chamber before stuffing a potato down the barrel.
Next is to mix the gas inside the chamber once you have sprayed your combustion gas inside the chamber (i never do this but its always a option)

2 Ventilation holes : the reason i made 2 holes is because if the mixture of the gas does not ignite or something is wrong i can ventilate the chamber with something stuffed down the barrel. kinda hard to put new air into a chamber that is sealed in one end :)

3 x Spark patent :

The metal\plastic things i attach to the wires is called cable shoes or cable rings, i`ve seen it been used on car electrics.

you are very strong with your potatogun!

I Have a built in imitation of your own but I have a problem with detonation.

I used a piezoelectric lighter but not enough

could you explain exactly what and how you used to make sparks?

await instructions

How did you wire the round switch to the bbq electric igniter? I've been wondering how.

The fan is used to help mix the fuel and air inside the combustion chamber.

Hey MushiYoshi you know what u could do?... You could make a website where u can sell some of this stuff. You know, you make it for other people an sell them for your time you make them. Make a profit off of it man. You look like a Pro how you make those Potato/Spud Gun/Cannon/Launcher.

For everyone asking about the fan....it keeps the propellant circulating which helps it stay in an atomized state. (think of gas fumes/vapor) which helps it ignite more evenly and thoroughly. The fan also helps the spent fumes after firing to vacate the combustion chamber as well as allows fresh oxygen to enter which aids in combustion :)
