We expected our cannon to fire about 10 feet. But when we really launched the cannon it didnt fire at all. If we could do this again we would still try the internal combstion but try to make the cannon more air tight. In the end none of the cannons fired. We think that this happend either because of the temperature or the ethonol was bad.
