Hello, I've been promising to upload some info on my leaving cert Engineering project, bear in mind I only had ~6 months to design and make a working launcher and I also had 7 other subjects to be studying for at the time [LOL], you can find info along with schematics in the descriptions to the right in the following links...feel free to send me your comments and questions on youtube.

and just click on my username on youtube to find the other vids mentioned.
Unfortunately I don't own an air compressor(I was using the one at school and a stolen fire extinguisher) so making a video of it fully operational isn't possible...yet.
You can see a proof of design in my video entitled egg launcher in which I shot an egg out of a 1m long pneumatic cannon [I made that over the summer i usually shoot golf balls from it] (which was pressurized by a foot pump, so no continuous flow of air from that baby... and it's only a one shot muzzle loaded launcher so I can't hook it up to my table tennis launcher to show you guys how that was designed to work...just one shot from it, so I'm not going to bother.
