I also fired several “Sundown guns” for ceremonies, and you have what is close to a 75mm pack gun howitzer. I’d love to have one and adjust fires with it. Making mashed potatoes! Kudos!!

this man could build potato flak canon from the exploding potato

I'm disappointed in KZread. They recommend everything under the Sun to me...except THIS!!! How have I missed this video!!??

I would add an Arduino and an electronic gas valve to make a timed gas release, so that you can dial in an exact amount of gas based on the time the valve is open, and always be able to repeat that same amount of gas. You could even have various preset options for more or less gas to hit a target distance. Or go all out with a laser rangefinder too and design an algorithm that calculates exactly how much gas and at what angle is needed to hit that target! Lol Edit: you'd probably need a pressure sensor also to measure gas pressure, because as the pressure in the gas tank drops after a few shots you'd need to hold the valve open longer to get the same amount in the firing chamber.

His howitzers made all the difference for the brave dogs, who fought the battle of Chestnut St. against Squrell shock troops.

I love the improvement ideas. Suggestion, if you are going to add oxygen as part of the fuel, then have the actual barrel be all one piece with no holes and inject the gaseous fuel directly inside that barrel and the igniter also inside the same barrel. This will give your gun quite a bit more umph! Might freak the neighbors out a bit as it will also give a much louder report! But then, not just potatoes, but how about bloated tins of old food? Since the new power will give you a greater range, then you would not have to worry so much about breathing he stench of rotted food! lol

really puts the HOW in howitzer

Convinced that we're living in the best timeline

This dude be straight out of the game scrap mechanic.

i love that build especially that you got most of it for free. the oxygen is a bad idea because it makes the combustion to fast and the pressure spike to pointy (risk of shattering). what you could do to improve reliable and repeatable combustion is to measure the fuel and mount a small cpu fan inside the chamber to mix the gas since you wanted to have a battery powered igniter anyway. use a 3 dollar arc generator module for that. the box shaped ones are usually plasma and the round ones usually stun. the stun ones are not as electronics friendly and draw more ampere. it has been one year we would love to see a part 2

Amazing how you made this all from free junky parts, unlike any diy youtuber I've seen. Keep up the awesome builds!

Two things use a steel pipe. Make every potato the same diameter. When you feel ready to move up the danger level to 20. Use acetylene and oxygen. This also means the potato has to be in a container. But the range is much more than a football field 🤫

I love it. I am a Propane technical trainer. I too built a hand held potato gun. I used map gas when everybody else was using hair spray. What I did to get a reliable mixture was I took the turbo torch and I used the venturi that comes with it. I was getting 300 yards out of a 4' x 2" barrel. I had a ball valve I would open, shoot in the gas and then close the valve to fire. I also sharpened the end of the barrel so as I shoved an over sized potato in, it was sized to fit. With the perfect mixture and a tight seal in the barrel, it was epic. I like the idea of the drilled breach. Perhaps a test could be performed at Sand Land to see which it better.

When I get my own place, I really wanna have a workplace where I can do cool trinkets like these. Kudos for the awesome build you got there buddy!

Years ago we made a propane powered potato gun. We used 2 quarter turn ball valves with a pipe in-between. The way it worked was gas would come in the first valve with the other shut filling the between pipe. Then you close the first valve and open the second valve to release the gas into the combination chamber. This way can be fine tuned by adding length or cutting the pipe between the valves shorter. It took a while to get it right but when it the right volume size it was very consistent.

when i was younger my friends and i would pretend to have wars, now just image having this as a kid

I bet a billiards ball would fit perfectly.

Put a small o2 tank on it to mix with the gas . You will get a hell of a bang .

Maybe redesigning the breach with a hinged door with a quick lock catch on it for quicker opening & closing rather than using a screw-up breach door ( cap) instead. 🤔. apart from that it seems good just redesigning that breach is my suggestion it would not only LOOK FAR BETTER!!! but, I would say loading it would be far easier aswell.

THAT is the coolest tning I've seen this year... Well done ! I would add a circular seal between the potato and the gas... like we do in black powder shooting. Watch playing with oxigen man...

*Scrap Mechanic liked that*

This howitzer is awesome, but I feel like there room to improve. My one recommendation is that if you want to take over small countries faster, you need a faster cannon. So instead of a screw on breach door, try a non threaded cap and put some rubber sealant around it. Then, attach a small hinge to one end, and an industrial latch (similar to those of a suitcase or chest) on the other. This will cut down on the time it takes to reload. Otherwise, everything else is awesome, maybe you should add a cool muzzle on the end though

Try using pressured air + Acetylene mix explosion. It would reach mach 1, but before that change the materials to full iron
