Join the science discord! discord.gg/pw5sZ3PTye This cannon was pretty extreme. It shot a golf ball at speeds approaching the speed of sound and has some SERIOUS power.
We typically used around 1 ounce of powder charge, enough to propel the ball clear through a bucket, and into the dirt.
Electrical ignition was not bothered with, used long fuses instead. Your right Chemcam, it is a PITA :P
