A Special thanks to Josh Lake at Pomfret school for introducing me to the concept of a transparent potato gun. It was his idea that spawned this video.

I just love the way he laughs after every shot like a maniac A happy man with a happy potato gun
-
0:51 2 days later... Man killed by high velocity potato
-
7:34 When you get too close to the mic.
-
I appreciate the beauty of this experiment
-
This may be the only video i have seen where the video looks as cool as the thumbnail if not cooler.
-
everyone: HE'S GOT A BOMB GET DOWN SmarterEveryDay: HOLDING AN EXPLOSION at 20,000 fps
-
I've been watching for awhile. I'm a auto technician and your videos are always refreshing to watch. Nothing but problem solving and learning. If you only knew how good of a mechanic you would be
-
one of the coolest channels on youtube! it was nice meeting you at vidcon today man!
-
thats a good neighbor. " you do what you want on your side, ill do what i want on my side" wish all neighbors could be like that.
-
There is now a non-0 chance of getting hit by a potato at orbital speeds,AT NIGHT
-
I watched this Video so often and i always love the way he laughs and gets excited. Also in other Videos. He has passion for whatever he's doing
-
There's a more efficient way that I found as a kid. Instead of loading the potato first, you just get an airtight seal in the muzzle, add your fuel to the chamber (carburetor choke cleaner or starting fluid) and then drive the potato down the barrel increasing the amount of oxegen in the chamber equaling a MUCH greater efficiency and stronger shot
-
You laughing at the blast made me smile and feel all warm inside. Thanks for a great video Destin!
-
That was fantastic I enjoy every second of the video and I got smarter. I can’t wait to tell my son about y’alls channel. Keep up the great work you are doing to educate your viewers. GW

1:40 The SOUND of him pushing the potato in, I LOST IT!!!
-
My hand feels a phantom pain every time you fire the gun with your hand on the back. Brings back memories of when I tried using engine starter fluid and pure oxygen which blew off the end cap and injured my hand. But I am thinking that the flame front is compressing the gas but not igniting it so it would be better to add some stuff to the gun, like balls of copper wire, to break up the wave front and allow a more rapid combustion.
-
Wow, talk about clickbait _, didnt expect that from this channel. I just counted and theres actually only 19942 fps..
-
This channel is no good for me, now I'm addicted and need to get back to work, lol. Thanks for the great experiments you do, it's really a magical experience being able to see the outcomes of your ingenious mind. Continue inspiring the next generation to do the same! Cheers, Orane

The audio during the high speed playback of the ignition is AWESOME. Great sound design for a film project!!!
