This is my cannon :)

Now that I am on my holidays, I came up with this ingenious idea to make a cannon.
After seeing my cousin's cannon, I thought to myself... I could do that, and so I did.
Warwick and I were not doing much and so we suddenly found ourselves at Bunnings, buying some PVC pipes. This cannon is made from 4 PVC pipe pieces all put together with PVC glue. We also bought a BBQ starter sparker to ignite the cannon. After putting everything together, and making a very cool trigger, all you have to do is put a mandarin in the barrell, and spray some hairspray/deoderant, close it up tight, push the trigger, and BAM! The mandarin (or whatever projectile you would like to shoot) travels about 250 metres....

Here is my ingenious trigger... Wazza and I are still thinking of a name for the cannon. If you have any suggestions, please place a comment to this post!

And another picture of the inside where the spark occurs.
