Compressed Air Cannon - the
"M60"
This air cannon works on low pressure compressed air. It is constructed of
sch-40 PVC pipe that is rated up to 230 PSI.
The compressed air can be
pumped into the air chamber through the Schrader valve with a bicycle pump
or small electric compressor. 100psi is the optimum pressure to use in this
cannon. The best ratio to have for the barrel/chamber length is 1 to 1.
This
will provide adequate air to propel the contents in the barrel. This cannon
is roughly 3 feet in length and uses 2" pvc pipe for the barrel and air
tank. A 1/4 turn ball valve is the trigger mechanism. This cannon can be
used to launch a variety of loads due to the larger size. Water balloons,
paintballs, etc.
This cannon is no longer available to order. You may still
purchase the plans to this cannon by going to the
