Happy 4th of July from MAKE – 4th of July projects

“Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better” – Albert Camus

Here are a few fun projects/examples I thought would be good for the 4th of July – We’re a nation of tinkers, inventors and most of all – makers, it’s a good day to celebrate all the things important to you as an American.

Have a great holiday!

Make a potato cannon. The Night Lighter. Launch potato projectiles 200+ yards with this stun-gun triggered, high-powered potato cannon with see-thru action. MAKE 03 – Page 108 – Link & PDF.

Make a water rocket. You don’t have to be Burt Rutan to start your own rocket program. With a few empty soda bottles and some PVC pipe, you can build a high-performance water rocket. MAKE 05 – page 78.
