I’m looking for someone in the northwest IN / greater Chicagoland area with private property open field or large yard space (~min 150x150ft area) who is open to me and some friends launching some pumpkins in it. Will pay cash, $75+, negotiable.
I recently finished turning a washing machine into a powerful mechanical slingshot. It functions by the original direct drive washing machine motor driving a large steel gearbox and boat winch strap, with the main drum suspended on springs being pulled backwards and then released all at once, sending whatever is in the drum flying out the front. It can send a 10lb pumpkin about 40 feet (photos attached).
Ideally looking for someone who loves mythbusters/top gear type projects and would like to make a bit of cash for allowing us to do this on their property. And you’re welcome to launch whatever you can fit in the drum too!
We will leave no trace besides possibly some marks in the dirt or grass. All of us are professional engineers in our mid 20’s.
The date we are aiming to do this is Saturday, October 24th, likely a half-full day project.
Please comment or DM me if you have a space and are interested.
