    I’ve made bottle rockets with my engineering students for years, and we launch them at 90-110 psi. Yes occasionally they explode. We do all our testing and launches at 70 psi then push them as far as we can. Soda bottles are rated for 70psi.
    Try another round but use an electronic solenoid to open the valve for added explosion! Then you could throw on a trip wire for lots of surprise fun!
    Cheers Sam!

      Fantastic suggestion! That's awesome to hear about making bottle rockets, I also was hazy on how much PSI a soda bottle could take thank you for that!
      Thank you for watching I hope you enjoyed it!

    How long will the valve hold the pressure? Does it leak out after a few minutes or hours?

      I haven't tested that yet but you made me curious enough to try it. I'll comment back when I get a chance to test. Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video!!

    For $5 each you could set up a whole battery of them and have a salvo of confetti ready to blast

    Would it be able to launch a potato, or half a potato, also you are super underrated.

      Thank you! I also think i am underrated lmao.
      It should be able to launch a chunk of potato its too small for half a potato.

    Yo dude great video. You don't nearly get the views you deserve. See you at the top
    For feedback these videos r dope af, but i found myself skipping to see what the air cannon could actually do before i could decide if i'd care about the build.
    I have a suggestion. Through editing. You already have a gr8 iconic intro, so maybe you could include some visuals there - quickly showing off what this 7 mins of my life are going to look like. Ease me into it. Lube me up, you know? 🌹
    For inspo (especially for intros) i look at Brad Leone's show, "It's Alive", on the Bon Appetit YT channel.

      I will keep that in mind for future videos, those are really good ideas!
