I made a hybrid vacuum high pressure cannon! Since I saw @SmarterEveryDay and @Jeremy Fielding cannon I knew I wanted to make one and, for the first time in a long time, I made something smaller instead of bigger. I knew that I didn't want to deal with a retractable piston to activate the cannon so I had to devise a method of bursting the disc that separates the two chambers while both are under pressure. Everything in that project proved to be way more difficult than anticipated plus I had some recurring bad luck that I had to overcome but in the end I came out victorious!!
This cannon will be back, probably improved, I really want to go supersonic but not with wooden sides. I need a welder and more alu stock to make the cannon that we all really deserve.
I did almost no research before I started this project so you saw me learning along the way and I really hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a comment down below with your thoughts!!
