Today we're building a super simple tennis ball cannon that can pack a massive punch! We might've lost some tennis balls in the testing process...

Built one of those when I was a kid (1970's, with the old style pop cans). We used lighter fluid, into the bottom can, then swung the "cannon" like a base ball bat a couple times to vaporize the lighter fluid, then immediately lit it. BOOM!

@RayNavarro7 3 года назад

Exactly. We did the same in the 70s. Shake the whole contraption a number of times like a spray paint can, then light at the whole at the bottom edge of the bottom can. The balls would easily go 60-70 yards.

@jaycee4968 2 года назад

I did the same, using tall beer cans I'd find. Worked really well, always wanted to make one to show my now grown kids, but need tin cans not aluminum, bummer.

@MidnightHabit 4 года назад

In the early 70s, soda cans were made with a thick, straight-sided cylinder, had a large, removable pull tab, and a top and bottom that could be removed with a can opener. They were the perfect diameter. We did nothing to the bottom can except remove the tab and punch a hole in the side (not the bottom - you could stand ours up on the ground without losing fluid). Then, we removed the top and bottom of 4 or 5 more cans (4 total is actually sufficient) and taped them together. We just dropped the ball all the way to the top of the bottom can (All of that extra expansion space isn't needed). We could get 50 to 100 feet shots, depending on how much lighter fluid was used and the angle at which we held it.

@mjfox9577 5 лет назад

Put the ignition hole on the side of the cylinder so you can rest it in the ground to get better distances

@davidbean5807 3 года назад

When I was a kid we cut the can lids halfway and folded them under, making sure each was cut on opposite sides. Then we would put them together so that each can matched holes with each other. This kept more vapor in the bottom half of the cannon longer. We used lighter fluid as well and just shook the cannon after adding the tennis ball. And our ignition hole was on the side of the bottom can and not under the cannon.

We used to use beer cans,they were at that time made of steel. This paper thin aluminum now would melt or explode at the seams. They are tight fit, plus the opening was enough to allow lighter fluid to flash off into vapors.

Thanks for the fuel idea. My tennis ball had a great tight fit using asparagus cans but I was struggling with distance using lighter fluid...maxing out at about 20 feet. As soon as I changed the fuel I immediately got two nearly identical 120 foot launches. Awesome!!

Made these often as a kid when beer cans were straight sided. But, my best ones were when I used Hi-C cans and launched nerf footballs!!! Also, paint them black as it helps add heat to vaporize the fuel.

@mitchelll899 5 лет назад

FallingJuiceBox their isn't enough space for two scopes. Each scope takes at least half them for the rings and the long range scopes extend past the upper in both directions even for cheap ones. They already make a red dot on magnified zoom combo they run $299-1,000 USD.
