Bicycle Spoke Mini Cannon
The bicycle spoke mini cannon is one of my all time favorites because it is so easy to make and play with. It does have some safety issues though, but I think that some safety glasses and a little common sense, would go along way. I actually purchased a whole child’s bike from the thrift store just so I could have a couple of spokes. This project goes back to my uncles and my father would use it to shoot at critters, lol. Anyway have fun and be safe, let me know what you think.

Holly crap, this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! It was love at first sight, I have got to make one of these. The great thing is that it is all open source, so that you can build one and help to make it better. I can think of about a billion things that I could make with it. I am not one who has a lot of experience with electronics but I think that I could have a friend help me with that, I know that I could put it together fairly easy it looks manageable, and it might take awhile but I could figure out the software. So tell me what you think, I would like to here your thoughts on this one. I have provided some links below to help you get started.
