    Rockets with failing o-rings give me anxiety...
  • @Smeggit7
    Now if the syringes had needles and the ceiling had a dart board...
  • Ha! Have you seen my plunger vacuum cannon videos? I never thought of launching the cannon itself.
  • @AppliedParanoia
    Was fooling with a 5-ml syringe once, decided it would be fun to block the end with my thumb and pull back on the plunger. When I released the plunger it sprung back and made a jolly sound. That was good fun, so I figured the same thing with a 60-ml syringe would be 12 times the fun. It wasn't - when the plunger hit the front of the syringe it drove the luer-lock taper into my thumb, cutting a perfectly cylindrical hole into my thumb. Bled like a stuck pig and took weeks to heal, and hurt like hell too. 0/10, would not recommend

    I love how you always sneak the science into your projects man :D
  • @MrGiXxEr
    This needs a handheld pistol type frame!

    'I dont really plan to put a hole in the roof of my shed' No one does.. but thats how it happens :P
  • @benstewart5334
    I like at 3:42 when it launches you can see the water condense as the pressure increases
  • @ytfp
    I would suggest eye protection for anyone who attempts these especially with children. Love that you do the math behind each project.
  • Some anti-vax kid walking Flying syringe hits him in the arm Mission Accomplished well done
  • @redsquirrelftw
    I like the slow mo shots and how you can see where energy is "wasted" and where it could be improved. Like the wobbling or the bouncing when it hits. Not sure how you could prevent those but it's still neat to see as in real time it happens so fast you would never see any of that.

    FINALLY! I saw the story and I was like WHAT ABOUT THE VIDEO!!! Hey little teaser!!
  • ........YouTube videos from America— “I’m going to dump 500 rounds through this .50 caliber machine gun into a pile of watermelons” ......YouTube videos from UK — “plastic syringe rocket thing in my backyard”
