10" is a very large size. I couldn't possibly guess what thickness the pipe is to hold a combustion. Your next video should definately show you going for a basket lol.

About the cost- I "found" this piece in the middle of the "woods" so it cost me nothing. The only thing I bought was the screws to hold the end on. I'm still browsing the garage sales and thrift stores for some cheap basketballs since I only have one at the moment.

This just reminded me of a 20' length of 10" pipe in the back of one of the woodshop classrooms at my school, I keep asking the teacher if our class can make a basketball cannon, but the teacher won't let us.

if you do the math on it the 9.8m/s^2 given the 3.5 second fall from the apex, it fires approximately 130-160' in the air, the variation is because of the second that cant be accurately determined in the video's angle

Thanks alot for the estimate. My friends keep asking me how high it goes and now at least I have some idea.

Heres a pic of some 350mm (13") pipe we have stockpiled at the farm.

Thats a really cool cannon, very unique. Ever thought of possibly filling the basketball with something such as water? may be a little heavier but much worth the video.
