Introduction: Marble Cannon Project Jeremy P
This is the marble cannon project for Mr. Bodenschatz Honors Physics Class
Step 1: Step 1: Acquire the Necessary Materials
Two Foot and Half Inch PVC Pipe
Six Screws
Four Rubber Bands
Half Inch Dowel Rod
Wood Base
One Threaded Rod
Gorilla Tape
Wood Stands
Hot Glue
Step 2: Step 2: Take Measurements and Adjust Accordingly
Measure and cut a Five and a half by ten inch base of wood
Measure and cut 18 inch PVC pipe, now you'll have an 18 inch and six-inch pipe
Measure and cut out two ten-inch wood sides
Measure and cut a 13.5-inch dowel rod
Assemble All Your Pieces
Step 3: Step 3: Assembly of All Necessary Pieces
First, drill a hole on the bottom of each side of the wooden base and screw in a wooden stand on each side
Next, drill a hole at the top of each wooden stand and screw in the six-inch PVC pipe
Leave two screws just barely attached to the top of each side of the wooden stands
Then, put the dowel rod through the 18 inch PVC pipe piece
Drill a hole about four inches from the bottom of the dowel rod and put the threaded rod through the hole of the rod
Attach a nut on both sides of the threaded rod
Then, hot glue the 18 inch PVC pipe to the six-inch PVC pipe
Wrap electrical tape around the PVC pipes to firm the hot glue.
Attach two rubber bands on both sides from the outer screws to the threaded rod
Secure the rubber bands by placing a nut on the outside of the rubber bands
Step 4: Step 4: Beginning Test Shoots and Make Necessary Adjustments
Testfire the different distance increments
Mark your pullback distance from your dowel rod
