What this video covers

This short clip offers a quick look at a homemade potato launcher built using a CO2 tank and an air cylinder valve. The creator keeps the demonstration brief and acknowledges that fittings and assembly details are not fully covered, directing viewers to other channels for deeper technical guidance. Despite its brevity, the video serves as an interesting proof-of-concept for a pneumatic projectile effect that could find a home in a haunt or yard display.

Key takeaways

  • Core components appear to be a CO2 tank and an air cylinder valve
  • Build details and fittings are only lightly covered — supplemental research is recommended
  • Creator points viewers to other potato gun videos for more thorough instructions
  • Short runtime makes this more of an inspiration clip than a full tutorial

Who this is for

Haunt builders and Halloween enthusiasts curious about DIY pneumatic launchers who are willing to seek out additional technical resources to complete a safe build.

Materials mentioned

  • CO2 tank
  • air cylinder valve

⚠ Safety notes

Pressurized CO2 systems can be hazardous if improperly assembled. Viewers should research fittings and safe pressure handling thoroughly before attempting this build, and consult additional reference videos as the creator recommends.

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
