Quad Barrel Air Cannon Helps Me Make Pasta Sauce

Launch anything you can think of with the full-auto R0M4 quad-barrel air cannon!

Major Sergeant Private Major here, demoing the newest in high-powered military grade pneumatic launcher technology! Today we're using it to make a delicious pasta sauce. In addition to it's culinary capabilities, the R0M4 quad launcher features multiple firing modes, adjustable range, and most importantly… FOUR TIMES the capacity of a standard air cannon! Who has time to reload? Just fire again!

Using an Arduino Nano connected to a wireless Nintendo Wii Nunchuk as a trigger, launch each projectile separately with the tap of a button, fire them in rapid succession by holding the trigger, or flick the “boom” switch and launch all four at once for MAXIMUM POWER.

This project was what I originally set out to make when I took Mark Rober’s Creative Engineering Course (you can find my video review of it here:    • Things I Learned: Mark Rober Monthly ...  ). I ended up running out of time when my class was in session, so I temporarily stopped my build when it was a simple single-tube air cannon (check out my how-to video to make one yourself:    • How to Make a Simple Air Cannon  ). I didn’t lose sight of my goal, though. After learning about power MOSFETs, solenoids, and some clever uses for resistors and diodes, I was finally able to make the air cannon I always wanted!

Now that this demo video is complete, I'm going to begin working on the how-to video so you too can have the ultimate in air cannon technology at your disposal! Subscribe and hit the bell icon to be notified when that video is complete.

Enjoy all kinds of messy launches, learn a thing or two about fine dining, and witness the strength of the ever-so-loved superhero, Spider-Man. It’s all here, and delivered in prime Major Sergeant Private Major fashion.

Join me.
