Wow! All those videos look seriously impressive. I do find it interesting that you were able to shoot so many shots in such a short span of time that they knocked each other out of the way as they slowed at the apex of the arc. Do you mind sharing some of the specs on motor, gearing, and wheel?

In regards to other methods of feeding Fuel, an auger similar to those in Icee machines might be an excellent solution. I've seen several people try homemade versions of an Archimedes screw, but I think that the solid shaft and the rather uniform (albeit spiral) travel of the Fuel in the hopper makes for a more difficult integration than the combination of agitation and propulsion the augers offer.
