8 Awesome Science Experiments For Real, Proper Grown Ups

You'll need a few tools and some DIY know-how for this one and it takes a bit of assembly. But, hey, it's a freaking cannon, it's probably worth the effort.

The potato cannon works to the same principles as a real cannon, using the build up of pressure to fire the cannonball/potato out of the end.

This experiment can actually be pretty dangerous, as you're using essentially creating a little explosion in order to fire the potato - not to mention the fact that you're launching a potato at high speed, so we would recommend that you don't try this one at home unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing

Death by potato is definietly not a dignified way to leave this world.
