Cannons And Cannon Accessories
This is such a great forum that I want to get active on it and by showing  some of my efforts.  I am  helping a 10th grader with an AP Physics trajectory project, and decided that I needed my own version.  I wanted something to launch antennas into (over) trees.

My first unit was a 4' long piece of 1/2" Schedule 40 attached to a blowgun, itself attached to an old Sears 100 PSI air compressor. It will shoot a 6" long 1/2" bolt with attached string 75' in the air, easily clearing any tree on my propeerty.

Pursuing greater portability, I made a series of "Carrot Crushers" (favorite ammo is peeled baby carrots from Safeway, on sale @ 4 bags for $5!)  The latest is a Laser sighted unit with a Rainbird valve.
This gun could fire a couple of shots of air from a single fill.
Ammo is loaded by hand for each shot.I prefer lead slugs
Max pressure during testing 20 bar.
I took this gun apart pretty soon after it was finished cause I needed the parts to make a prototype shotgun.
I will get threaded thick walled steel pipe& fittings to make that one however.
Might try to go up to 60 bar (CO2) with that one.
New!!

A possible idea for better mixing of gases in a combustion.
this goes very far
I made this cannon in about 2 hours cost me about 100$. i get it upto about 400psi and it goes about 2k.
Nothing special here, just my first cannon :) It's a travel size tylenol bottle, pen casing, 2 thumbtacks, BBQ ignitor, Old Spice, Q-tips... rest is self explanitory ;) Expect more from me soon!

My first cannon that I built. It has twin 4" sch40 pvc chambers and dual 1" orbit sprinkler valves. The barrel is 2" sch40 pvc and measures 40" in length. I have a buddy that works for a company that does spray on bedliners for trucks so we sprayed the entire gun in Line-X not only for appearance but also for safety. Hope you all like!
Just thought I would add mine
thsi is my newest gun it is the spudinator cp.  the barrel is 2" and about a combined length of maybe 8'.  it has a modded valve except intead of the internal equalization it is external (thats what all those extra valves are for) it is spray paint not real metal.  i fire 2" chuncks of wood cut from a hole cutter and cocking gun tubes.
Small eh? fun to shoot.

My first shooter

ya this is my pnumatic ists really basic but i love it and my friends think im some kinda genious by makeing it. But im actually attributing this cannons design 100% to the geniouses on this web page
Its a normal combustion cannon using propane and a sparker made from a disposable camera.  The spark is so big that it shoots 100% of the time.

I've calculated the max effective range to be around 6000ft, but there's no where open enough to go test that out.

The barrel is 7.5ft long w/ a 36inch combustion chamber.

It also has an internal computer fan that will exhaust the smoke/gases after a shot, and it also mixes the air and fuel before shooting...
