The Potato Bazooka!
|
|
From the people who brought you the tennis ball
|
|
cannon, and the potato gun, comes the newest device
|
|
for home safety and recreation!
|
|
|
|
Well it seems to have spread across the country :-)
|
|
I was talking to my dad in N.C. who said that all
|
|
of the kids over 30 were playing with potato
|
|
bazookas :-) And that it was developed in CA.
|
|
and introduced to the East Coast. Now Rush
|
|
Limbaugh ?sp. has talked about it! Well, I built
|
|
one from verbal instructions and it works! It has
|
|
a few bugs to be worked out, but all in all, it's
|
|
very impressive. I thought I would post an acsii
|
|
drawing of it to the net ;-)

|
|
[____] <--- screw cap
|
|
|
|
Assemble all the parts (except the screw cap) and
|
|
glue them together using ABS glue. Fit the gas grill
|
|
ignitor through the middle of the 12" section of tube.
|
|
So far, what I have seen that works is to load a
|
|
potato plug, spray a couple shots of Aquanet Hairspray
|
|
into the other end, screw on the cap, and using a
|
|
30" plunger - push the potato plug down the 36" tube.
|
|
Aim (never aim this at a person or animal!!) and fire!
|
|
It will launch a potato plug about 1200'!!!
|
|
|
|
I will not assume any responsibility for your ability
|
|
to build this correctly, choice of fuel, ammo, or
|
|
choice of target. You are responsible for your
|
|
actions. Be careful and have fun :-)
|
|
If this is illegal in your state, I am not responsible
|
|
if you break the law.
