Wind tunnel design theory...

Uh, cool. I liked the short-burst pressurized version particularly; much like a glorified spud gun. I wonder how far down range it would put a raw potato...

Considering the temperatures it produces, the potato would initially break the sound barrier if properly fortified against chunking, and then fry to a crisp.

But I'm betting we could get a new world record out of it before the projectile fried completely.
