Compressed air water cannon.
This instructable will guide you through the steps to build a basic air powered cannon to launch things such as water balloons or t shirts.
This little weekend project is all about water ba.
The video featured in this article demonstrates the function and design of a powerful form of air cannon that operates using a purpose made valve that opens very rapidly.

This allows for a massive amount of pressurized air to be released at once to throw a projectile many hundreds of yards.
The piston or tube were necessary because the air always floats on top of the water so to fire a water gun at an angle without either solution only compressed air would shoot from the gun.
Now don t be fooled.
Measurements for the air tank and barrel lengths found in steps 2 and 3 are the dimensions that we found to.
Don t shoot someone directly with this and never at the face.
The design of the cannon also allows the barrel and the air chamber to occupy the same space and so it.

A lot of you have inquired about the use of co2 in the various guns offered.
The original supercannon had leaks and unusual problems with getting the water out the tube so that idea was scrapped in favor of a piston design.
All my air cannons use air valves to be filled from an air compressor or other source of air.
Yes you can use co2 but it must be regulated before air input to the air cannon.
