Boom! The classic potato gun harnesses the combustion of flammable vapor.

Hey i was wondering a way to sorta cool down the chamber without using a chamber fan.

Could u make like a few really small holes to air it out or would that be dangerous?

thanks pyro :wink:

If you made holes in the chamber, then during firing hot gas and fire would escape through the holes burning you and burning the pipe.

Yeah. It would not fire. Holes totally defeate the purpose of using combustion to launch objects.
