I'm a Junior at Del Oro High School who enjoys 3D printing and inventing. I'm excited to share the air-cannon I built with everyone at Maker Faire!
What Inspired You to Make This?
I had built a water rocket launcher based off of a project my class did in 8th grade, and I also had a PVC pipe air cannon that I had built. After seeing air-powered rockets at the Maker Faire in San Francisco, I decided to add an attachment to my air-cannon to allow for paper rockets to be launched! I thought this would be a fun, hands-on project to have at Maker Faire for kids and adults of all ages!
