Potato Launcher
2023
Objective
As part of the weekly projects I prepared too my engineering club at GHS, I brought materials and plans to construct a simple potato launcher fueled by hairspray. Although a simple project, it introduced aspiring engineers to the excitement of engineering and how rewarding the process can be.
Result
Constructed with PVC piping and PVC glue, the launcher utilized a barbeque sparker to ignite the chamber and launch the potato a couple hundred yards.
