Black powder cannon tests

The video tutorial explores the use of a powder cannon with black powder to launch water bottles. Initial trials faced challenges, with bottles often exploding. By adjusting the water content, the launches improved significantly, reaching heights of 400 feet. Advanced techniques involved adding charges for explosive effects. The tutorial concludes with plans to use the cannon for more ambitious projects.
