American Air Cannon Testimonials

 

Mick -

Thanks again for the help.  The irrigation supply company had the 1.5" Class 200.
This was a fun project with my 13-yr old son.  It works as advertised - easily shooting 600'+!

This made an awesome Christmas gift for my sons.
Nothing says happy holidays like launching golf balls a couple hundred yards! Great simple and safe design.
Thanks,
Tim

Hey Mick,

When I first contacted you last year, the idea was to be able to launch a golf ball up to 400 yards.

We have never gone more than 380. And that’s okay because the most fun the guys have is on holes that are 280 in length, over water.

When the ball hits the green from that distance, there is actual cheering on the tee box.

Your cannons are awesome,

Marty Perlmutter


Marty Perlmutter from LeaderBoard of Miami South Florida Golf Foundation Board of Directors and Columnist for The Tee Times newspaper used a custom built Golf Ball air cannon to raise money last week. "The first event last Friday was a hit.

I think the tournament raised like $800 just from the launcher." said Marty. Here is a short video of the cannon in action. Contact American Air Cannons for your own custom built cannon

   

   

Hi, my name is Price,

I use my air cannon for launching a tool line over the tops of the trees on my property so I can trim the branches.

Since the trees are over 100 feet tall, the air cannon is the only way to launch a lead line over the tops of the higher branches.

This cannon is also a great source of entertainment when my grandsons come to visit. As you can see we had fun painting it with some spackle furniture paint.

These cannons are the best...

Mick,

Thanks. Didn't have a camera handy. But I did have my video camera.

We had a great time building the cannon. An evening of assembly and a coat of hammered silver paint and we were ready to go.

My nephew and I had as much fun shooting at targets as shooting the potatoes straight up and seeing how high they would go. Thanks for the great plans!

Mick,
 

Attached is a picture of myself and the student who built the cannon.

 

My students and neighbors really enjoy it. We appreciate your plans.

Hair cannons and potato cannons kitsi MIck,
I am writing to apologize. The SDR pipe did fit inside the SCHD 80. Only question for future builds is, is there an easy way to sleeve the SDR pipe? I used WD40, a rubber mallet, and everything else! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and here is a pic of my build. Thanks again.

Hi, my name is Jeff Bracken,

and I am a high school chemistry teacher who purchased the plans for your T-shirt launcher last fall. It is with great joy that I tell you that my physics students fired over 80 t-shirts into the bleachers at last week's Homecoming football game. Absolutely terrific to see the physics kids getting recognized by the audience.

I shared your website with about 35 Central Ohio HS chemistry teachers at a meeting today. They were incredibly impressed with the finished product (my cannon). I hope that they will contact you to purchase the plans. What I said a year ago still holds true, the $20 for the purchase of your plans was an incredibly worthwhile investment.

Thanks again...
Jeff Bracken

 

  
To whom it may concern:
 
I have purchased plans and build the MBTS Air cannon. It has worked phenomenal and have got much enjoyment out of it. Not just myself but also many many spectators at the football games.
 
I did purchase a portable CO2 compressor to facilitate wtih the loading process. I am inquiring if it is possible to convert this type of cannon into a self -loading repeating cannon? If you have any suggestions or answers please share this information with me or let me know if it is available.
 
Thank you

Dear American Air Cannons,

The Cannon is great. Kick ass. The orbit valve has a lever that manually bypasses the solenoid. No real need to tap the valve. Also I installed an air nozzle inline with my air feed. After launch you just squeeze the nozzle to desired pressure and boom, launch again. I also used all galvanized steel fittings from the valve to the launch tube except for the slip bushing.

Talk to you soon
Thanks again for the excellent design

 

 

Dear American Air Cannons,

"I did a few things to trick it out and then took it to a friend's property to test. At 85psi, it shoots about 250 yards. I will try to take some pics and send them when I get the chance."

Dear American Air Cannons,

"Cannon worked awesome at the opening of our new football stadium, thanks for working so quickly with me."

Dear American Air Cannons,

My water cannon is awesome. I was surprised at the amount of recoil it has when I load the barrel with water. The only item I had trouble getting was the pressure gauge. I finally ordered it from Amazon.com, but it cost $12 plus another $7 for tax and shipping. Do you have any better suggestions?

Thanks,
Patrick

 

 

Dear American Air Cannons,

I successfully completed the cannon and I must say I’m very pleased! It works as well as you said and was fairly straightforward and easy to build.

Thank you,
Tim Arnold

Dear American Air Cannons,

Your plans and additional suggestions are probably the best $20 investment I ever made!

Dear American Air Cannons,

The air cannon just arrived and my husband LOVES it! He said to congratulate you on your ingenuity and design and declared anything that is dangerous, runs on compressed air, has a trigger, and fires something is the best present ever.

Thanks for all your help with this! SCORE!
