Making a 330+ Joule Air Cannon

  • In this Video I build an air cannon from a fire extinguisher capable of putting out over 330 Joule at 13 bars pressure. If I had bigger guts it could easily put out more energy...
    It can be used as a potato canon or to launch anything that's laying around :D

    I've never seen a fire extinguisher with that large of an opening. Replace that silly little valve with a two inch ball valve and use a pneumatic actuator to open it and you will be blowing holes through car doors.

    very wise to not weld the tank. Simple but effective.

    Arc welding galvanized steel, like this pipe, damages your lungs with zinc oxide. This has to be done carefully.

    Pumping it up with a bicycle pump was hilarious. At Harbor Freight you can get an electric tire pump for 10 dollars. will a golf ball fit in it?

    • @Mika_357
      @Mika_357  Год назад +2

      I usually pump it up with my shop compressor which goes to about 9 bars. I only use the bicycle pump for pressurizing it to 13 bars afterwards, but even that sure is a good workout ;D. Whether a golfball will fit depends on the barrel you're using. But with the pipe I used it actually fits!
