Potato guns are simple devices that use compressed air to launch potatoes or other projectiles. They are often used for recreational purposes, but can also be used for pest control or as a self-defense weapon. Potato guns are relatively easy to build, and the materials required are inexpensive and readily available.
The basic principle behind a potato gun is that when compressed air is released, it creates a pressure differential that propels the potato forward. The size and power of the potato gun will determine the distance and speed at which the potato is launched. Potato guns can be made in a variety of sizes, from small handheld models to large cannons that can launch potatoes hundreds of feet.
