I have youtube and friends, but none of my friends are stupid like me to do this lol, so I do it with my older brother and dad, or do it with my brother while dad's at work, and then tell him later, cause half the time when I ask him then he'll say no, so I just do it and tell him later lmao, I used to do Co2 "grenades" Used Co2 cartridge, drill a hole in the top Then take sparklers break off the outer powder, put the powder in a blender you'll need probably 30 sparklers per, then poor all into the cartridge, and after that put a 45second fuse in the hole, and then wrap it 6-8 times with electrical tape... put it outside light it and run behind cover and I mean run at least 45 feet away just for safety, we ran about 30 feet away and behind a car, but yeah its very loud so if your in an urban area don't do it, only in a rural environment where neighbors don't mind what sounds like a 12Guage X 3, but with the effect of a firework mortar on the ground, get behind cover cause we recovered shrapnel from the cartridges... if you do this please be safe use a longer fuse if need be, but if you don't have the means of safety it could cost your arm or life

I knew someone who did a similar thing but with steel cans and tennis balls. He cut the tops and bottoms out of four cans and set them on top of each other connected by duct tape. he put a fifth one on the bottom but left the bottom on and cut a quarter-sized hole in the top. He then drilled a tiny hole on the outside bottom of the bottom can. He stuck a tennis ball 3 cans deep from the top and put 3 drops of lighter fluid in the tiny hole, then rotated the whole thing until it evaporated, 20 seconds i guess. Then he set it straight up and put his lighter to the tiny while. UP went that tennis ball around 100 feet or so!

There is an easy way to make the bottles fly straighter and look a lot cooler. You use the cap attached to a cardboard roll. Drill as large of a hole as possible in the cap and hot glue the roll to the outside. Then, make some fins and attach them to the roll. You can make them straight or offset to impart spin. You will have to add a little weight to the nose. A couple of pennies and hot glue works fine. Paint it all OD green and stencil some yellow numbers on the side. They end up looking like real mortar rounds.

Idea: push the whole thing down a little deeper add a 1/2" piece of foam (cut a disk out of 1/2" think foam) then insert a water balloon filled with paintball paint mix (you can buy the powder on the web and mix with water). The bottle would more or less be the propelling force to launch the paint balloon at other players that may be hiding out in a fort or such.

Back in the day of steel pop cans we would make tennis ball cannons.The bottom can just needed a hole punched into the side near the bottom for the hairspray which was the fuel.The middle can was turned upside down and the bottom cut out inside the steel lip those cans had and the third can just needed the top and bottom cut out the same way.Duct tape the three cans together drop the tennis ball in and it would sit on the bottom of the middle can which is actually the top part of the can with pull tab pulled of corse spray in the hair spray in the hole you cut on the bottom can hit the same hole with a lighter and the tennis ball would blast out of site it was very impressive.
@jjohnston9410 жыл бұрын
I've discovered that with aerosol-fueled potato cannons, you have to fire immediately after loading or you get an underpowered dud, probably because the droplets of fuel start to condense out right away. Does the same thing happen with alcohol, or could you, say, load up this thing, walk around a while, and then expect it to fire reliably?

Then shake whole thing like he does with the bottle. to vapor the gas. drop a tennis ball in the top and light the bottom hole with a lighter. and boom the tennis ball goes a good 100 yds. For night time we would soak the ball with a little gas and fire ball time.

I know of someone who made a tennis ball launcher out of five steel Gatorade cans( maybe Nutrament shake cans can be used). He cut out the top and bottoms of four of the cans and stacked them with the onset can on the bottom, and duct-taped them together. Then he bored a hole on the side of the bottom can near its bottom. He stuffed a tennis ball three cans deep, then put three drops of lighter fluid in the bored hole. He retired the whole tube so the lighter fluid would vaporize, then he set the can straight up on the ground and light his lighter near the bored hole. I heard a giant THOOM and the tennis ball mustve gone up over 100 feet.
