PLC is the solution!

Is it possible to obtain the design blueprints for this “Launcher” (kudos given) so I could input design variations??

Overall a very cool hack. It's the kind of parlor trick that you can show off to all your friends but doesn't have a ton of use, like trick shot pool or card tricks :P i give this one a huge thumbs-up though.<br><br>glad to see our astute students of Duke are putting their time to good use I’m guessing it would work for soda; beer cans are 12 ozs, no?

Wonder if there's a bottle version out there. I'm thinking a direct mod of this for bottles would have center of mass issues due to so many different shapes and sizes though.<br>Maybe a pneumatic launcher for plastic 20ozs... for those premixed jack and cokes.

God, even my poor university buds drank OV or 50.. even Black Label or Crystal before they'd touch Miller Lite... That’s a pretty sweet design all right, but Miller Lite?

I have to admit though, I would have to retrofit this with a different ammunition than Miller Sprite!

Lack of time, funds, and ambition prevented the building of the second version. John’s Beer Launcher is everything Eliot and I aspired to build but just never did. Yes, this is Eliot mechanical engineering friend. My hat is off to you John. My design was more of a pneumatic cannon, the original prototype only shot 3 feet.
