Vacuum Powered Ping Pong Ball Cannon

Published 2020-05-16
In this video we look at the power of a vacuum to launch a ping pong ball at very fast speeds. Since we had a misfire on the first launch (not on video) I was pretty conservative this time and we hit about 60 MPH on average over the 4 ft distance measured. I'll install a vacuum gauge next and we'll explore how much force the ping ping ball can produce at much faster speeds.
