This guy and I come up with projects ~1/month. These have been everything from modding a bb machine gun, to building a wii nunchuck computer mouse. We built a potato gun. For some reason this project resonated with the other guy. He did research on the chamber to barrel volume ratio how to paint ghost stripes etc.
One thing he wanted to do was have a glowing potato explode against a hard backstop. He thought about it and tried various things. Eventually he figured out that if he blanched the potatos and put them in a vaccuumed jar of highliter ink for a day they would glow under a black light. It was so cool to see.
Unfortunately, we either don't have a good enough camera or the skills to record it well. So he came up with a juvenile script and posted a video of the potato exploding in slow motion. If we figure out how to record the "glow in the dark" potato I'll report back.
