Block-C
the second project i want to talk about is the potato cannon project. this project consisted in the class designing and presenting plans an then going with the best plan. we built a potato cannon out of PVC pipe and we used hair spray as propellant to launch a potato over 400 feet. my group consisted of nick comosa, Andrew lebowitz, and me. our group made the best design and we thought up of the best one and the most affordable plan. our cannon consisted of a 4 ft barrel two inches in diameter, a 2ft combustion chamber 4 in in diameter, and a grill lighter. this project taught me more in depth about combustion and cycles. i already know allot about the combustion cycle and motors but it was a good touch up. if you do this project again you should try to make a huge cannon on wheels.
