Design / Plan

Design Plan: Our design is to have one tennis ball can as the base and the other used as the combustion chamber. We plan to cut the hole of the top canister so it will be more stable for the can going on top. The combustion chamber will be attached by tape and be fixed at a 45 degree angle. The ignition hole will be on the bottom right side. We think that the ethanol will set more in the top of he can so if we but the hole lower that gas won't escape. We will just have to put the splint higher into the canister when we are ready to fire that cannon.

Launch Angle: We decided to have our launch angle be a fixed angle at 45 degrees because we believed that with this angle we would be able to get the ball to go far and high without it being too much of either. It also gives the ball some time in the air to travel farther because it won't be traveling too close to the ground.
