Plunger video: Will be on prime time German TV soon

As you may recall, a German film team visited me a while ago. They filmed me shooting a plunger ("Pümpel") with a slingshot crossbow, for a "science entertainment" show called "Galileo" on the German Pro7 network.


Watch the trailer on youtube

The piece will be a part of a Galileo "plunger" special.

It will air August 25, 7:05 PM. My "turn" will be around 8 PM, truly prime time. The network will make it available worldwide on the web, I will post the link after the show has aired.

    The trailer is both awesome and funny. I'll be waiting eagerly for the actual show.

    Is there any change for "Pümpel" - the movie?

    Folks, the network will offer the show online for everyone to see after they have aired it on TV. So no matter where you live, you should be able to see it (as long as the web is uncensored).

    Josh, yes, your comment qualifies you. If you are a subscriber, you will get an extra spare band set if you win, non subscribing winners will only get the slingshot with one band set mounted. Subscription is free of course.

    i saw your recent video on gizmodo.com . Very cool stuff. do you think the blade would have sliced through the meat completely if the meat was thawed, not frozen?

    Just saw a youtube video if you shooting a spike through a leg of lamb. LOL. I really like the metal slingshot you made. I think it's called the Panther. I don't know what a Cougar is though.

    Heheheh.... Competition for winning one of your sling-shots is getting fierce with new subscribers coming on. But, it's all good. Let the chips fall where they will. Looking forward to the new Plunger show. I even wish they make it a series of you busting crime with your plunger. Heck, it would even make a great cartoon show for the kiddies! (As long as you have a kitty with a sling-shot as a side-kick.) :)

    Was really looking forward to the airing of the show. As I do not possess a TV I thought of getting one especially for that purpose (and then send it to you for a massive destruction video with your super slingshot cannon ;-)) Really looking forward to the first shots.
