Homemade Science with Bruce Yeany | Rifling an Egg Cannon... attempts to spin a 300 mph egg projectile @YeanyScience | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Shooting raw eggs at 300 mph using a PVC cannon is a unique challenge, In viewing video of the eggs in flight, we noticed they immediately, start to tumble, turn broadside and have a trajectory or path that appears very erratic, much like a thrown knuckleball. Our goal was to see if it's possible to improve its flight by either rifling the cannon barrel or by rifling the sabot that the egg is encased in. One other method was tested, adding stabilizer fins to the egg.
