They use a long piece of PVC with a cap glued on one end. Drill two holes in the cap and thread a piezo spark-gap device from a gas grille in one. The other is used to squirt the aerosol deodorant spray into. Tamp a spud part way down the pipe, charge it with hairspray, aim, spark, Thwooob! It hucks those spuds a couple of blocks. Quite ingenious actually! And relatively safe as explosive fun goes. I've never heard of anyone being killed by a potato missile. So long as they don't start spraying gasoline in their instead of hairspray... Boredom? Oh, yeah. I have an older teen-age boy... -Fred W
