Important claims and supporting citations
A basic starter combustion potato launcher design utilizes a 10-inch section of 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe for the chamber body and a 36-inch section of 1.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe for the barrel.
An optimal spark gap between internal screw electrodes in a combustion potato cannon is approximately 1/4 inch, and should not be narrower than 1/8 inch.
Aqua-Net hairspray is traditionally used as an aerosol propellant fuel in basic combustion potato launchers.
PVC solvent glue requires at least 24 hours of curing time to ensure mechanical strength and allow flammable solvent fumes to dissipate before firing a spudgun.
PVC pipe and fittings are not approved by manufacturers for the purpose of constructing spudguns.
Over-fueling past the upper explosive limit (UEL) is a frequent cause of combustion failure in spudguns.
In cold ambient temperatures, aerosol hairspray condenses onto combustion spudgun chamber walls, frequently resulting in misfires.
Creating a chamfer and sharpened edge at the muzzle end of a spudgun barrel helps size the potato into a cylindrical plug upon loading.
