In Videos: Extreme French-Fry-Making with Pneumatic Spud Bazooka
Make magazine presents a reader-submitted video from Ted Goessling and Zachary Gens, who have created the Uber Tuber, a compressed-air-powered potato bazooka that they use to propel spuds at a grid of wires that slices them into fries. Behind the grid is a backstop that catches the potatoes and funnels them into a waiting fryer below. It's more Rube Goldbergian than it is practical, but it's fun stuff nonetheless.
This Make video is just a taste of what you can expect from Make TV, a show premiering on public television in January 2009. [via Kirk Draut]

You're right, it's fun. They should call it a Spudzooka.
