How to Make a Mini Potato Shooter

Okay, this isn't a real potato gun, this is a tin foil ball launcher, but it's just like a potato gun, and very easy to build with household items!

 Steps
  1. 1
    Take a Tylenol or Advil, etc. bottle and cut a hole the size of the end of a highlighter on the bottom of the bottle.
  2. 2
    Take the top off of the highlighter and take everything out of the tube. Once it's cleaned out, put it in the bottle hole nice and snug so it won't fall out, but make sure it is not sticking inside of the bottle, you want it so that the tube is just in it.
  3. 3
    Take your extension lighter and take out the part that lights it, the part that you press in to Light it. There should be two wires on it, take your thumbtacks and stick them through the wires and then through the bottle so that the rest of the thumbtacks are in the bottle.
  4. 4
    Take your tin foil and make a ball that fits into the highlighter tube, but won't fall into the bottle. Don't make it too tight.
  5. 5
    Spray your axe or hairspray, or other flammable gases into the bottle and put the lid on it fast,
  6. 6
    Click the lighter part of it, you may have to click it a few times, then watch the ball fly up to from 5 - 50 feet!

Tips
  • You can use for multiple uses!
  • Decorate it

Warnings
  • DO NOT stick your finger or any other part of your body in the tube or bottle when ignited!

  • Tylenol, Advil or any other bottle of the sort
  • an extension lighter.
