All I know is that it involves pvc pipe and flammable gases. You'll have to look up instructions through google(shouldn't be that hard to do).

Spud, as in potato? All you need is some sturdy plastic piping, with it blocked at one end, a BBQ starter button, wires large battery (maybe) and hairspray, you rig the spark button with the wires (and battery) in the back and space the wires right to create a spark, and you spray hair spray into the open end of the tubing, then you take half of a potato, and push the end of the tubing on it so that it cuts the potato into a perfect fitting slug, then you force it down a bit further and prepare to fire, and click the starter to fire.

Yes a potato. Sweet. But there isn't a way to do it without the BBQ starter? And how much hair spray?

I'm sure you can do it without the BBQ starter but I had a friend who made one, and thats exactly how he made his, and I watched him fire a few rounds over the neighbors house so it should work.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

All you need is a tube that is capped at one end, and a small hole near the capped end to light the fuel from.
