I think it would be really cool to build something like that... I wonder what size steel balls he uses?  Also how much black powder and grain size?



ETA:

Found another site that actually sells "Nano-cannons"

Perhaps an 1/8" ball bearing.  Should be able to get some idea of scale from the cigarette.

Did not look like he was using black powder.

if you watch the movie in the right upper corner of the screen he tells that he use pyrodex
but at 100 dollars each I dont think he will sell many of them

And he crushes the pyrodex up...not good.
