How to make a propane gas popper:

As told by: http://www.instructables.com/id/Propane-Pop-Gun/

Supplies

  • 1 Bernzomatic TS4000 torch
  • 1 can of MAPP gas or propane. Be sure you get a can that fits the torch. They are often sold together.
  • 10’ of heavy vinyl tubing with 5/8" or 17mm ID
  • 2 wide mouth plastic bottles (gatorade)
  • 5’ of 2” pvc pipe
  • duct tape
  • 50lb 12” zip ties
  • Heavy duty pruning shears

Basic popper build

What is the difference between propane and MAPP gas? MAPP gas is also used in combustion with air for brazing and soldering, where it has a slight advantage over competing propane fuel due to its higher combustion temperature of 2,020 °C (3,670 °F) in air.
