For this powerpoint, we researched different Civil War cannons, black powder, PVC pipe, and many other things.

1. PVC Cannon Project by Brandon Skidgel, Louis Hickman, Hyatt Hopkins, and Brad Ivy

3. - Used gunpowder to 'explode

4. - Then Generates a force of pressure

6. - which compresses air

7. from a pressurized air into

8. the barrel

9. - pushing the potato out

13. 1912 first industrial development of PVC starts

14. 1920's try to make PVC copolymers

15. 1932 PVC copolymers are put out on shelfs

16. 1936 to 1939 over 400 residences were installed with PVC

17. 1950 through 1960 PVC pipe had a dramatic advance

20. Carburetor Cleaner

21. Spray Paint

22. Propane

23. Ethanol

24. Hydrogen(All of which was just listed is more expensive than Hairspray but more explosive)Ignition-So when you ignite it after spraying it in the back end of the potato cannon it will explode inside of the firing chamber and force the potato out at extraordinary speeds.

25. Solvent Welding Solvent Welding- Solvent welding is the process of joining articles made of thermoplastic resins by applying a solvent capable of softening the surfaces to be joined, and pressing the softened surfaces together. Adhesion is attained by means of evaporation of the solvent, absorption of the solvent into adjacent material and /or polymerization of the solvent cement.

26. BLACK POWDER What is Black Powder- basic black powder is made of 75% potassium nitrate, 15% charcoal, and 10% sulfur. These ingredients are ground to create a uniformly textured powder. How did Black Powder come out-By the 9th century Taoist monks or alchemists searching for an elixir of immortality accidentally stumbled upon gunpowder. What Black Powder is used for- Black Powder is used in all kinds of things in the 19th and 20th century, such as- Cannons, Guns (muskets), and any sort of bomb. (And there were millions of guns and cannons). A simple, commonly cited, chemical equation for the combustion of black powder is 2 KNO3 + S + 3 C -> K2S + N2 + 3 CO2. A more accurate, but simplified, version is 10 KNO3 + 3 S + 8 C -> 2 K2CO3 + 3 K2SO4 + 6 CO2 + 5 N2.

28. Modern rifles are broached

29. ~Broach-a toothed tool toremove material
