So, unfortunately, while shooting the PCMII, I accidentally left an exhaust valve open, redirecting the combusting gas, and destroying my mixing fan. Oops. So I'm not going to be posting a video of the cannon for a while. Sorry about that!
The good news is that I just finished a neat drawing. Our AP Calc class is buying class sweatshirts, and I was asked to do the artwork for them. I took our teacher, Mr. Randall, and drew him like Yensid, the wizard who teaches Mickey Mouse in Fantasia.
This is a website meant to showcase some of the things I've made over the years. There is everything from knives and potato guns to workbenches and tree houses.

Potato Cannon Mark II
Alright, I finally got it working! The PCMII is now fully operational. Here are a few pictures, and a video will be coming soon...
The barrel is detachable, so the gun can be breech loaded, and is seven feet long.
This shows a little bit of the propane metering system, which allows a regulated and precise amount of fuel to be injected into the combustion chamber every shot.
