Follow along as we build this awesome air compressor powered water balloon cannon (water balloon launcher). This little weekend project is all about water balloons, or launching them, by making a cannon to fire them that is! We shot water ballon well over 100ft into the air with this thing. Of course you can shoot many other projectiles out of it as well. It's made with sprinkler parts, PVC pipe, and PVC fittings. Schedule 40 or higher. You can use an air compressor or bicycle pump to charge it for portable firing, or leave the air compressor attached. Have fun and be safe!

Follow along on this fun weekend project as we build a CO2 Cartridge Rifle. Only rather than being powered by the CO2 Cannister, this one uses the cartridge as the ammunition!!! I spend a lot of time shooting my Umarex Walther CP99 CO2 BB Pistol in my back yard. I've always got a pile of these empty CO2 canisters laying around, and that gave me an idea. Let's turn those into projectiles! Recycle them into ammunitions. Amazingly, they work extremely well! Why all the fuss about 3D printed guns? Who needs a 3D printed gun when you can build one at the hardware store in 20 minutes? No background check required.

Support this Channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheGeekPub Follow along in this video as Mike from The Geek Pub makes a home made mini forge (fire brick forge). This project is really simple, and this little forge will allow you to heat metal for all kinds projects like crafting jewelry, knife making, or even small scale blacksmithing projects. This project requires a firebrick, which might not be readily available in your area. You can usually get them at an Ace Hardware or a BBQ store (that sells fire pits). You get one from Amazon.com for about $5 with free shipping. The main source of heat in this project is a small propane torch. Be sure to use it in a well ventilated area.

Follow along in this video as Mike from The Geek Pub demonstrates a cool use of the Mini Forge! We're going to make copper plated quarters with nothing but heat and a little methanol! The Leidenfrost effect is demonstrated in this video, and results in our methanol boiling twice in rapid succession. It's a really neat effect. In addition to that, our methanol acts as a really cool oxidizer and our quarters become copper plated. The main source of heat in this project is a small propane torch. Be sure to use it in a well ventilated area. In my testing, this effect works on any quarter, but it works *best* on quarters made before 2000 (they contain different amounts of copper and nickel).
