We used paper and model designs on the computer to construct a rough cannon idea. We also Incorporated a double chamber into our design so we could generate more pressure. After taking the general design our group each took up a specific task on making each piece. After making each piece we all came together and used the tape provided to piece the parts together. The cannon was broken into three parts total so as to limit the tape usage and the risk of escaping pressure. The cannon barrel was kept short and the reactant space kept in ratio with the barrel. The double chamber design was very difficult to make but the rewards for such a design outweighed the risks. The constraints on material made the design difficult to build, however, our finished product was almost sure to create maximum pressure and thus, fire the ball further.
