The Tornado (updated)

Boom! The classic potato gun harnesses the combustion of flammable vapor.

What do you think?

It's just another mini.

This is my new mini combustion cannon "The Tornado". It's called that because sometimes when I take off the end cap some of the oust that I use as fuel on the chamber walls is still burning and the flame spins like a tornado.

Well you probably saw Insomniacs thread about the paper darts. I can launch one of those darts about 100 yd. with a good fuel mix. No it didn't take long, I finished it in one day and a couple days of tinkering until I got the spark consistent.

EDIT: For fuel now I use un-metered propane. I just spray some in with a blow torch head. It works really well.
