![Powerful Golf Ball cannon! [Black Powder in a 1.75" fiberglass tube]](/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkidzovo.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F09%2F1_t54skb9l.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
This cannon was pretty extreme. It shot a golf ball at speeds approaching the speed of sound and has some SERIOUS power. We typically used around 1 ounce of powder charge, enough to propel the ball clear through a bucket, and into the dirt. Electrical ignition was not bothered with, used long fuses instead.
