Multi-Purpuse Piston Cannon
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2006 2:15 am
This is just a crazy idea I thought up today. It was really brought on by the idea of launching waterballoons/other crap out of dorm room windows.
It's basically just a giant piston-thing that pumps into a much smaller pipe. If I happen to make it, the pump will be made of 4" PVC and the smaller pipe will probably be 2".
I figure that even if it doesn't quite shoot water balloons as far as I want it to, I can make an attachment with a nozzle on the end and fill it up with water. I imagine that would shoot pretty damn far.
This isn't meant to really be used in a water war, just to have fun shooting crap.
