Build a high-powered air cannon that shoots rolled up T-shirts

Remember The Simpsons episode where Maude Flanders died? Do you remember how she died? Well, here's a hint… it has to do with this Kipkay tutorial.

Yes, that's right— Maude died at the hands of a T-shirt cannon, and that's exactly what you're going to learn how to build in this video. See how to create this high-powered air-driven tee shirt launcher. A trip to the local hardware store should give you all the supplies needed (PVC, adapters, ball valves, hose, etc.). For the full detailed instructions, download the PDF.

Once this tee shirt cannon is finishes, roll up some tees using rubber bands and shove them down the barrel. Then get the cannon ready, press the switch and BAM… watch the fabric fly.
