does it work better than an air cannon?

that depends on how u build ur air cannon. I could easily build a stronger cannon then this. The cannon is VERY powerful but there can be more powerful. Depends on how u make ur cannon.

Using explosives is more fun though.

Very true.

FINALLY an ADVANCED combustion cannon on instructables. all the others are lame pill bottle ones that shoot like 10 metres.

what stops the combustion from burning up the internal mechanisms such as the wires, fans, wood, and pvc

Nov 23, 2009. 8:54 PMmarffy says:

The "explosion" inside the chamber just makes pressure not so much heat. This results in no melting and burning of internal parts.

are the "corks" soda bottle caps?

Me and a friend of mine made one of these, with just 4 small puff's of hairspray we launched a energy drink molotov about 100m far away (energydrink molotov: a empty energydrink can, filled with gasoline and then add a small piece of gasoline drenched cloth in the hole, light the cloth and launch it within about 20 secs of lighting it) We did this at an old abandoned mine so we couldn't put anything on fire :) Energydrink cans fitted amazingly into ours ;D, or those mini cola cans, their the same diametre as energy drink cans, but smaller! Ps: We made interchangeable barrels, you could just "unscrew" em like a silencer and change the diameter of the barrel :) we can shoot from marbles to tennis balls ;D

also how much in total did you pay for all materials in the end

how did you make the spark generator

Jun 25, 2009. 8:17 PMmrianniello says:

i suggest buying a bbq lighter... there 5 dollars but they have the best results

Jun 25, 2009. 10:50 PMthepaul1993 says:

that one was powered by a battery

what is the fan for i don't get it.

Circulating air and fuel. Not really needed, but can help.

Dec 29, 2008. 7:06 PMblugyblug says:

Mixes the fuel and air together so the explosion in the chamber is equal and spreads. Its actually pretty useful.

Oct 13, 2011. 9:08 AMcowscankill says:

But it's not needed :P

Dec 30, 2008. 6:12 PMblugyblug says:

Yeah its not vital but it helps.

Dude, your gun is super cool. Way more complicating than mine in my video. Of course, I was going for creating something a general audience could figure out. Kudos again. ChappyShowcase

i love the hairspray holder idea i will be using that on my next gun for sure

Oct 13, 2008. 2:41 PMcowscankill says:

your cannon is very good compared to the one I've made.
