Air cannons?
 

Anyone on here into building air cannons? I was cleaning my room up and I found all my cannons from a while ago and was just wondering if anyone else shared the hobby?

like potato guns?

i have a potato gun with 3 interchangeable barrels. its effed up though

one of my jv weapons charges is related to a potato cannon

yea like potatoes guns, cept a bit more powerful than the spray and pray kind. I dragged mine out today to see if it still worked and it blew in half.

I made a few air cannons...I didn't F around with my **** though...I made a few coil guns and a attempt at a gause gun...that was COOL

ours was propane powered, good times

Gauss rifle?

Yea, a few coils and a few batterys. You can shoot nails and stuff pretty well. Only downside is the recharge time.

yea that LOL

LOL I used a ton of hi power compactors and the AC converter from a computer, as the power source. I used a lathe in the woodshop to wind 4000 coils. and it ended up putting a 10 penny nail into a cinder block a good 2in. and that was my sophomore year science project LOL

My mid size cannon could put paintballs though half inch plywood.

I'm pretty sure I still have video of that somewhere, prolly on the infamous purple tape.

:D i wasn't as calm as i am nowadays and i used to have a bad temper.

And actually i think kasey jm ted and others may remember when we went to NYC like 2 years ago, and a cabbie cut me off... well i was hanging out my window with my butterfly knife swinging at him... haha.

What is the thoery behind that one? I can usually figger stuff out but I think I need a little help this time.

Yeah, I was calmly saying "Hey Paul... may not be the best idea..."

electro-magnetics...you use a coil to produce a magnetic field around a metal object. the field will force it out. depending on the current and voltage you can make a very strong field which can produce an effect much like a riffle.
