I have a potato cannon. I use an explosive propellant. You spray it
in, hit the sparker, and BOOM a potato goes flying a couple of hundred
yards. It is much more explosive than WD-40 (or else I would use
that).

It is hairspray.

If you think WD-40 is explosive, you'd better seek a ban on hairspray.

You know of a spudgun fuel *less* explosive than hairspray (actually,
the
butane propellant)? I can't get my cannon to fire without vaporizing
the
potato.

Usually it is just 3 short bursts for a shot. A burst being just
enought get a spray -- maybe 1/4 seconds each.

You're sliding the potatos in like a muzzleloader, aren't you?

Well, yeah. Isn't compression a necessary part of the equation?

BTW, Dixie cups make perfect blanks for a 2" PVC barrel. Sometimes,
you just want to make noise to raise the dead.

I don't really compress it. I slide it in first. It does create one
heck of a seal, though. But I've never made french fries with it.
The spud goes out in one piece. I got "the long way" on the potato so
it's a good, solid hunk of flying flesh.

I've often thought about putting some sort of groove in the barrel so
I can get some rotation on it. they it would REALLY fly.
