The Hot Dog Launcher


A video about the effort it takes to design the Phillies’ air cannon that shoots hot dogs at games. This is scientific stuff - they go through small trial runs and even position people in an otherwise empty stadium to gauge how far they can launch and figure out the angles. But you can see that they have a lot of fun with it.

the video is long - so skip up to about 3 minutes to see the launcher in action.
