Build a compressed air tennis ball cannon

Build a compressed air tennis ball cannon

Systm is the Do-It-Yourself show designed for the common geek who wants to quickly and easily learn how to dive into the latest and hottest tech projects. They will help you avoid pitfalls and get your project up and running fast. In this DIY episode, see how to build a compressed air tennis ball cannon.

There's nothing wrong with potato guns... we love sparking up Right Guard as much as the next geek. But compressed air, now that makes for a seriously fun cannon.

We've been asked several times about building spud guns on Systm. Whether you call 'em spud guns, potato cannons, combustible (or pneumatic) potato launchers... and whether you're shooting tubers, tennis balls or random bits and pieces found around the garage, they're fun. And easy to build.

We built a compressed air (or CO2!) powered cannon on this week's episode of Systm.
