Everybody makes bigger and better potato guns however i have created a butane powered super mini potato launcher. the gun uses simple household items to make an interestingly fun tiny gun
Materials:
Tylenol bottle
2 thumbtacks
pen tube
long grill lighter
How to make it:
First take apart a pen and get the tube out. next cut a hole in the tylenol bottle, not the cap the bottom, slightly smaller than the pen tube stick the pen tube in the hole and coat the joint with pvc glue. next poke to 2 thumb tacks thou the cap and and make sue the closest part of the meal is on the inside of the cap Finaly take apart the lighter and pull out the little white clicker. there are many different versions of these so try and locate the 2 electrodes and solder wires to both then solder the wires to the thumb tacks and spark it a few times to make sure its sparking in the right spot.
to load it just stick the barrel in a potato and shove the chunk down the barrel
then take a lighter and spray butane into the chamber cap it and fire!
it shoots the potato 10-20 feet and gives some good fun!
if anyone has any variations please post them!
