I recently had the idea for this new vacuum cannon design that many of you might be interested in. Since it hasn't been very long since my last vacuum cannon video I thought I would make this a more casual demonstration so I could ramble about all the various features and concepts without worrying about fitting everything into a script. If you would like to see my previous video of my 4" bore cannon you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/cDoUBJbyZ-8

Here is my video about making PVC pistons like the one used for this cannon: https://youtu.be/BCZGWvieJ7I

New Vacuum Cannon Design - No Vacuum Pump Required!

If you enjoy these projects please consider contributing on Patreon and you'll get some other cool stuff like early access to videos. Most of all your support will mean I don't have to rely on the volatile YouTube ecosystem to keep this channel afloat, and new videos will be assured no matter how bad YouTube messes things up in the future.

Can you put together a parts list so that people can make the cannon

Hello, two questions: 1. I was wondering what were the materials you used to make the stand to hold your vacumn cannon. 2. I'm wondering what would happen if you tried to scale down the cannon to a more portable version. Thanks!

The stand for my cannon is a stand made for work lights. I didn't make it. You can't scale the cannon down very far because it needs to be quite long in order for a good vacuum to be made and for the projectile to have time to accelerate in the barrel.
