Extreme Marshmallow Cannon

This is a air pressurized cannon. Pumped by a bike pump, air released by a electric sprinkler valve. The PVC tubes are changeable for what you want to shoot. I shoot marshmallows, apples slices and t-shirts. The longest distance I've gotten is 180 feet. All depends on how much air you pump into it. So FUN!!!

Guys, the comments aren't supposed to be bragging about your air cannon or telling him to change his. Does a guy who shot marshmallows with the president in the white house need any pointers? congratulations on the great build

If you want it to go farther you need more pressure. If your confident that you primed/glued your joints well then you can easily crank that up to 120psi (get an air compressor and put that bike pump away). You will also need denser projectiles. Potatoes work well, so do apples. If your trying to huck a potato you might want to invest in a rifled barrel (you can get those online).

If it says there's to much space in the video then you can become a pro member and the video will work but that's up to you.

I finished the directions. I did them on Makeprojects.com I don't know how to get it over to instructables. anyone know how?

[lookwhatjoeysmaking]

Thanks everyone. I'm working on directions...boy that's hard.

It's hard, but that's more likely to get votes than just pictures. :P I would love to see the instructions, as I want to make one.

[lookwhatjoeysmaking]

This is awesome in every way, down to the paint job! You should post instructions!

[lookwhatjoeysmaking]

Kaptain Kool, would love to...but they are talking about selling: part list, or whole unit put together.

[Kaptain Kool]
