Pitching Machine DIY --Leaf blower and PVC -make a pitching machine lob real baseballs

Worx leaf blower $24 on ebay and 3" pvc. Worx model wg506. 180cfm air speed 130 to 160 mph. So any leaf blower with those specs should work. this lobs in real baseballs.

The first Halloween after Covid hit, I made a similar machine to launch the candy to the kids standing in the street. The “Candy Bazooka” is now legendary in the neighborhood.

I love this. I would not have thought a leaf blower like that had enough power to launch a baseball

Good old fashioned American ingenuity. Nice goin!

[@cryptohitlist9324]

Genius! Great work, dad!

[@CruceEntertainment]

Very cool! Teach him to step toward the machine. Teach this at an early age, it will save a lot of headache later.

Anybody else see the hole in the side of the house before the machine started up?

[@alexvlk]

This is so great! You’re a great dad :-) … but man I was hoping this was a parody and it just went 500MPH or something.

[@thewongs6911]

is this at full speed? (if its even variable?)

[@joshpaulschram]

that particular blower was at full speed for the video. 180cfm --

[@vwman1949]

How long is you pipe, and you said a 3 in pipe..want to build for my grandson

[@joshpaulschram]

I think its 4' total and I cut 8 to 10 inches off to connect behind the long sweep T.

[@joshpaulschram]

I don't think they make the blower In the video, but look for a Cheap one that is 130-160mph and somewhere in the 180cfm.

[@silktank8242]

Jus throw the ball 🥴🤣

[@AutobotWarrior]

How fast would you say the balls come out? Around 40 mph?

[@joshpaulschram]

I dont think it would be 40mph. its basically a lob speed

[@joshpaulschram]

@@AutobotWarrior in the video it is pitching regular baseballs. if one loaded wiffle balls-- it would shoot them much faster. I have seen other videos and nobody with a PVC and leaf blower is pitching real baseballs.
