Shooting a Calcium Carbide Cannon

Craig Beals explains how to build and shoot calcium carbide cannon made from PVC. Included are the chemical reactions and equations for calcium carbide and water producing acetylene gas and the combustion reaction of acetylene with oxygen. The carbide cannon will shoot projectiles several hundred feet using only a small amount of carbide and water!
