<div align="center">BASKETBALL CANNON

Provided By - DR

For ease of handling, the Chamber portion of the 10" C-900 pipe on this one is only 34" long. The Barrel portion of the pipe is 48" long.- (not including the belled end) This will give me an approximate 0.7:1 ratio.

The I.D. of the 10" pipe is approx. 25cm (9.8425"). - 2,586.9 cubic inches!! -It falls short of my first one which had a chamber volume of 3,195.5 cubic inches.

I'm thinking of buyind a mattress inflator/deflator to vent the Chamber, because the cast-iron end cap will be bolted on.

If anyone has any better ideas on how to vent 6,500 cubic inches of pipe, I would be very grateful!

I should have this ready yo fire by tomorrow evening, but I'll definitely have it readt for the weekend. The hardest part of the whole build was trying to cut the end of the pipe evenly. (all by hand with a miter saw) The flared end was cut with a jigsaw, and finished by hand.

That thing is a fricken Beast...
I love it.
Bigger is better
You should get a 120mm fan insted tho.
There is a fan called the tornado that moves like 119 cubic ft of air a min.

What do you use for a fuel

Have you shot anything yet

Does that seriously heave a basketball a consideringly great amount of distance? I'd love to see it. It seems as the basketball would be way too heavy to even go 5 feet...Well, it all depends on the fuel you use. Cool!

he uses metered propane, and a basket ball wouldnt be that heavy, and remember you're talking to DR, the master hybrid man, i believe he's said he shot a bean can full of concrete through a block wall out of his 4" hybrid before

Thats pretty amazing..... Let us know when theres any damage pics or videos of this monster!!!

there were pics and i think video on spudtech at one time.

u would proberly have to use the whole bottle of propane

Oh, come on... it's only 10 times bigger than your typical launcher...

Thats awesome man, although it does look a little big and heavy but sure it fires well with all that work

wow thats frigin huge i've neva seen anything like it the endcap loks reaalll heavy duty and i'm surprised u can even buy pipe that thick! it must be heavy to lug around how far does it fire?

its a great acheivment altogether u did well
AMAZING!

How long did it take for you to build the whole thing including design time? its awesome by the way. you should shoot have shots at a basketball hoop from ages away

that is huge, I would love to see it fire some time.

wow thats some oddball pipe, where the hell did you find that? id love to find a cheap supplier for that...

ok ... DANG! THAT IS ONE CRAZY CANNON! it'd probably like a cannon ball if you could fire it fast enough ... dang ... you got some serious skills ... or just too much time to spend ... or both ... but still ..>DANG<!!!!!!!!!!!!
