Build Wiffle Ball Launchers, Beverage Bottle Bazookas, Hydro Swivel Guns, and Other Artisanal Artillery.
Garage warriors will get a bang out of this new handbook from the author
of Backyard Ballistics that shows how to build cannons and other fun
things that shoot, from Wiffle ball launchers and beverage bottle
bazookas to superpowered water guns and model culverins. In Ready the
Cannons!, engineer William Gurstelle breaks down how to safely construct
a dozen awesome artillery devices in your basic home workshops using
easy-to-find household or hardware store materials. Clear instructions,
diagrams, and photographs illustrate how to build projects ranging from
the simple—a supersonic Ping-Pong ball shooter—to the more complex—a
replica of the Napoleon Cannon.With a strong emphasis on safety, the
book also gives tips on troubleshooting, tells the history of how and
when the artillery devices were used, and explains the physics behind
the projects. This book will be indispensable for the legions of
backyard watergunners, model-rocket launchers, and fireworks fanatics
who wish every day were the Fourth of July.
