Hi Guys, I have a Year 11 Project weighted 15% of my year mark due in 5 weeks. For my project I've decided to build a classic combustion potato gun. This gun will consist of pvc piping, barrel, Lantern lighter, any other components and of course hairspray (combustion)
Anyways It is still only an idea as of yet but I am looking for variables, anything i can record. Also any relevant terms, formulaes or concepts I may encounter during my project.
So far I've thought of concepts such as: Projectile motion, Muzzle velocity, angle affectiveness (Predicted 45 degree best), effects of wind resistance ( On a calm day this will be discounted.
Therefore if you have any other concepts that may help in my project, Dont be afraid to say them, ANYTHING! :)
