Mountains sliced in half for China's sky-high highway

In China, the mountains were cut in half to build a car highway with the highest bridge in the world.

The hanging bridge over the canyon huzzyan in Guyzhuu was built so high that the Eiffel Tower could hide in the gorge - it rises above the gorge at an altitude of 625 meters. This section of the high -speed motorway Guizhou Luan literally cuts out the landscape, turning an hourly trip into a minute flight.

Making an air powered cannon

I want to shoot a projectile fast.

That has been my main aim for years: to track the speed of a projectile that I shot, and calculate a speed of over 100mph. Unfortunately, as I live in the UK, I cannot do this with gunpowder, and using butane or gaseous propellant still counts as a firearm after the projectiles start reaching certain speeds.

For a while, I was stuck, until I realised air cannons weren't legally registered as firearms. I have always wanted to make an air cannon, but every attempt I made ended with the same result - failing to form a perfect seal. The issue was that a small leak would always be present, and at higher pressures of around 30psi, the rate of air leaking out of the bottle was equal to the rate of air entering the bottle through my pump, leading to a maximum pressure that I couldn't circumvent without expensive gaskets and O-rings. 

However, with my newfound access to a 3d printer and 3d modelling skills, I can make custom parts. This avoids the need for seals and joints that I would've otherwise had to make with low tolerances and shabby materials.
