You shouldn’t play along with your meals. Until you’re designing some sort of moveable cannon to fling it throughout the room. That’s precisely what [Backhaul Studios] did.
Step one of designing the condiment cannon was deciding what it ought to hearth. Little low-profile tubs of jelly ended up being the best. They had been stout sufficient to outlive high-speed flight, whereas their low peak was good for aerodynamics. The cannon itself is constructed from metallic and 3D-printed components. A number of iterations ultimately landed on a flywheel launcher design with huge brushless motors and enormous 6-inch discs. It sounds positively terrible in motion and may fling jam (jelly) packets at immense velocity. From there, it was merely essential to design {a magazine} feed system to allow high-speed full-auto jelly supply.
When you’ve ever hucked ketchup packets at a brick wall, you’ve understood the enjoyment of splattering condiments all over the place. This cannon is only a means to do this quicker and extra hilariously. We’ve seen other fun builds along these lines before, too. Video after the break.
