Here's a video of some spud launching.
So after talking about it for months we finally took a trip down to the hardware store and purchased the plumbing supplies necessary to assemble a spud cannon. Max and Noah (with some instruction) primered and glued all the peices together and after letting it set up for part of the day, we took it out on the water and gave it a try.
We can launch a potato about the length of a football field.
