Zzzz... :sleepy1: Seen it.
Just kidding , but that is a good episode. I like the cannon they built to shoot cannon balls. Four nitrogen tanks as the chamber and a 50 something foot of barrel I belive.

i liked the episode where they used a solenoid valve, 50 foot barrel, and 400 psi to launch straw through a palm tree.. but they didnt get it to go through..into it but not through..then they got a piano string to go through and through the backing and into the cement wall

I liked when they built essentially a gun, but it was the ejection seat.

I liked the episode when they wanted to test if a passing train could push you over with the wind it generates. To test the required wind speed needed to knock someone over, they shot a large pneumatic gun (no projectile) at a person wearing safety equipment.

I love how they try to force it to work even if the myth is busted.
I wonder what the pressure rating on a trombone is lol.
