Potato cannon powered glider! 

Hope you all like the video and it inspired you to make your own foam gliders! I would also like to give a shoutout to ru-vid.com for basically pioneering the folding foamboard glider design. instagram.com/backyardscientistofficial/ twitter.com/ChemicalKevy

Florida Man: “of course they have a cannon, why wouldn’t they?”

those were super dope! next challenge, at apogee of the pneumatic launch, ignite solid rocket motors for more height!

that Finish... with the dog.... that's hilarious and seeing him chase after makes it more funny

Those shots of the plane flying from POV were absolutely stunning.

Him: it’s only three dollars Also him: take a carbon fiber arrow

*200 years later:* "Mankind has just launched the first potato-powered plane!

7:03 actual footage of a minecraft player using elytra

The cinematics of this are amazing just saying 9/10

I like the dog running away w the plane

“You can make all of these with like.. 3 dollars” *cries in inflation*

Potato cannons I messed with were powered by hairspray and igniter...

8:25 When the teacher catches you on your phone

8:21 nobody going to talk about how high up he climbed?

*You lied to me. You’re now the FieldScientist*

6:40 beautiful scenery

Your friend Joe could probably start his own youtube channel, he's got a good way of explaining things and a good personality for presentation.

Imagine being able to hook a secondary small model rocket charge, see how far you can really take it.

We call that an “Armin Wing”.

Love the ending when the dog ran away with the plane 🤣

Great ending your dog with a very custom selfie stick lol

Backyard Scientist: "My friend Joe" Everyone waiting for him to say joe mama:

0:01 Me: why did he piss himself? *oh.. shadow*

“My friend joe” Oh yeah, it’s all coming together

This is so beautifully made . . . the music, the flights, such a sweet diversion from quarantine. Nerds rule.

I feel like a collaboration with Flite Test could result in possibly the most awesomeness the internet will ever see.

Hey excuse me sir do you have the “Really thin Annoying stuff?” Cashier: *Of course we do!*

The absolute difference in chaos in the newer, but still cool vids compared to these old gems just reminds of how time flies💫💫

Potato cannons are awesome. Nice job. BTW...Sandra should be in every vid. She's adorable.

One of the only youtubers that dosent want to drill his videos out to 10 min just to get a another ad placed. He gets to the building process making it easy for everyone to build and not make it impossible for everyone to afford. Good job, love the videos and always will.

6:32 "perfectly balanced, as all things should be"

“U can build this with dollar store items” Uses carbon fiber arrow

Hope we see a flitetest collab soon!

The best part was at the end, the doggo running :D

7:38 that face when you pause! She was never going to catch that plane :'D

"I love doing projects you can do at home" Me: what kinda home do you live in

you should've said "its plane to see, I've been making concepts all week"

Me at 10:00 pm: Ok I need to get some sleep. Also me at 2:50 am: *watching some dudes build a plane and launch it using a potato cannon*

Looks like most of your launches were with planes that were still a bit tail-heavy. Lots of mild stalling resulted. Also, adding deheidral (upward angle at the root of the wing, like a big, wide, almost flat V) to the wing would enhance stability, and get you longer, straighter flights with no "wing-over" in the middle. Great video! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!

the gopro videos are soooo relaxing to watch, the going up and down faster etc. i love that style !!!

0:38 Definitely thought it was a Joe Mamma Meme

You should do a collaboration with flite test!

I recognize a few of the parks in the video because I actually cut the grass at them, I didn’t realize you were so close but anyway, keep up the awesome videos appreciate the insight!

Yes! Another plane montage with Halcyon days playing in the background

Me: Paper aeroplanes are fun! Backyard Scientist: Hold my glider.

The filming in this video is so awesome. That first drone shot was beautiful

I come back to this video every couple of months because the GoPro footage is so soothing...would love it if you made a follow up video, possibly shooting them off of really tall things 👍👍

I can’t believe this video only has this many likes and views, this video is absolutely amazing, the production is so clean and high quality, and it does beautiful watching the plane fly! Good job dude!

Work with FliteTest and make it RC

I imagined a potato riding an airplane when I saw the title lol

Really excellent music choice at the end. Really cool inspiring stuff. Love it!

This is such an awesome pov. I'd just love to see more launches!

The king of random would have loved this

The dog at the end 💛

It’s so wholesome how excited he gets.

I love seeing all the local areas I grew up around in your videos brings me back to good memories!

As a matter of fact i do actually already have a homemade air cannon lol :D

Damn, this video seems much more... friendly than all the others. I smiled wide open at the end, love the montage.

AH MAN, Kevin, wish I could've gotten to this video sooner! They flew SO well!! Nicely done on the tutorial, btw. And Beautiful flight footage!!!

This made me smile... reminds me of when I was a kid playing with rockets and kites

I didn't get the notification but found it on the homepage. nice.

I remember the times where lawn darts were lethal. They had a nice long needle attached. Man, good times!

The beauty of the flying and the view.. tis beautiful

that is fantastic scenery. and a great way to watch it. thanks for an awesome video, backyard scientist.

I have been following u for 2 years!!! you are so awesome

8:27 meme format? “Gotcha”

This is my favorite video of yours yet Very beautiful video. Keep up the good work and keep going in this direction!

Super fun video. Pretty scenery and fun doggo.

It seemed like the one that almost went into the water was stalling, try doing less elevator or moving the center of gravity back. It will go much farther if it can go straight, not going tip and down. Love your videos dude!

_backyard scientist peter sripol edition_

Oh my god, I love it !!!! These kinds of videos are the best!

if this guy does his own editing and camera angles I applaud him with everything I've got

1:03 “Oh it’s pretty simple just follow the formula” Yeah, okay.

"Anybody can make this" Uses 3-D printer...

That last flight is the best one - I even like the cheeky 'smile' the dog gives :D

This entire video was freaking beautiful.

6:39 I thought there was a car advertisement.

Those fly shots are so relaxing to watch

Beautiful flight videos! Thank you.

Those flights look amazing in the sunset

Kevin: my planes are going to be better Joe😂😂laughs

No one: BackyardScientist: we are going to science the crap out of this

Beautiful shots and beautiful work mr backyard scientist

Dude that glider footage is amazing. Give us more!

I will supply the army in Antarctica with potato cannons once I've turned it into a nation

This was seriously a great video. It was simply a joy to watch. Especially the flight footage, and the doggo, that was great! 😂

Gliders are so majestic.

Happy doggo makes me feel better, thank you.

Man, my RU-vid feed had just gone cold. Your timing is impeccable!

"Interative engineering". We used to call that trial and error :-P

The theme for the test flight was perfect.

You are an inspiration for you younger viewers. Building young engineers, keep it up!

8:47 WHAT A GOOD BOI. YOU RUN WITH THAT PLANE DOG

Viewers Who’s joe? Backyard scientist JOE MAMA

Wow thats very mesmerizing with the music.

I just have to say. I love how smooth your videos look

Dope! Now attach some servos and fly them.

I finally know who joe is.

Wow so cool that plane is like a rocker at flying

I love the camera work!
