hello! i will be teaching you how to create and build a fully functional compressed air cannon! i do not have the exact measurements, however you can easily just find piping and put it together like me!

Materials

these are the parts I used. Consisting of a total of 10 parts, costing under 35$. I built this as a collaboration with my friends.

Isolating

you will need to wrap the threads with tape or isolation tape in order to create an air tight canister

Assembly

begin to thread and attach all the parts together to form a U shape. however, you can create this however you'd like!

Valve

The valve used has a one way valve included. the air compressor is then hooked up to the branch to be pumped.

Enjoy!
