Here's what you'll need to build your own Air Cannon!
Poke a hole in the cup
Cover the open part of the cup
Make the cup airtight
Fill the Air Cannon with air
Load the ammo
Squeeze the bag and LAUNCH
Did you know?
Because the pom-pom sits tightly in the hole, no air can get past. The pom-pom is a plug, sealing the air chamber. But it is a weak plug that can pop out. When you squeeze, you increase the air pressure inside the Air Cannon. At some point the air pressure overpowers the pom-pom’s seal. Now, the air rushes out, carrying the pom-pom with it. Pea shooters, spitball shooters, leaf blowers, paint sprayers, pop guns, and air rifles all blast out a column of air that can be used to launch objects.
