The old-fashioned way of just throwing water balloons yields unsatisfactory results. We need something bigger and better.
You Will Need
- A funnel
- 16-20 ft. of rubber or latex tubing
- 2 washers
- A few feet of rope
- A drill & drill bits
- Water balloons
Step 1: Drill holes in funnel
Drill four holes in the funnel; two a few inches apart on one side, and two more directly opposite those.
Make sure the holes are larger in diameter than the tubing.
Step 2: Cut the tubing
Cut the tubing so you have two 8- to 10-foot sections.
Step 3: Thread tubing through holes
Thread the tubing through the two holes on the same side. Repeat that for the other piece of tubing.
Step 4: Tie rope and secure with washers
Take the rope and tie it through the washer and then insert it in the end of the funnel. Drop the second washer through the rope and tie a knot to keep it from escaping.
Step 5: Make water balloons
Fill up as many water balloons as needed.
Step 6: Fire away!
Get two friends to help you and fire away!
The world’s largest water balloon event was held in April of 2006. More than 2900 people gathered at the Coogee Beach in Australia and threw about 50,000 water balloons at each other.

This is awesome! I totally built one of these in high school, but I think this approach sounds even better.

This can be a lot of fun. Last time we had a water balloon launcher, we ended up having one of the girls with us really get hurt because she thought it would be a good idea to look right at the balloon as it was flying toward her face. Yeah... That didn't turn out well.. :-?
