The Binaca Cannon

You are frickin crazy. I love it.
I have never seen such a thing. I was always limited to vinegar and soda.

This is so much cooler.

You should see the flame cannon I came up with after eating a plate of beans and lighting a lighter.

Good one. I would like to make one but I had better not shoot it in the house.

this reminds me of my dad teaching me to take paper matches, wrap foil around the end poke, poke a hole in the end and when you put flame to it the thing shoots like a rocket. your canon is pretty inventive I think the boys and I will haft to try that.

Yeah, this looks like a keeper(and a copier). Cool project Bob.

Rustic,

If you like making things that goes BOOM! you should check out a book called ”Backyard Ballistics” . Nothing too dangerous, But fun things to make.

Awesome great idea, thought of spud gun at first sight, but a film canister is great for small scale. Made me laugh when I saw it initially.

KOOL! Looks like a spud gun you can use indoors ! ;-))

I wonder if it wants to be one of those air cannons on “Punkin Chunkin” when it grows up?

As for me – I’m getting visions of spud guns, menthos/coke launchers and other assorted back yard ballistics.
