Go to Post I will never forget Dean's opening lines: "I want you to know that I am here under protest. I believe that everything you are doing here is repugnant and ethically wrong. And now I am going to tell you why..." And for the next 35 minutes, that is exactly what he did. - dlavery [more]

Re: Air Cannon

I'd still see it as an issue. Since the chance for failure is always present (and mostly the damage is microscopic but at those pressures you will magnify the problems) and PVC does tend to react in the way it does, it would really be your best bet to switch to ABS plastic.

Search on YouTube for Potato Cannon explosions. You'll notice all of those ones are PVC. That's why I built mine out of ABS.
