"Punkin
Chunkin" is the United State's annual contest to see whose homemade
machine can hurl a pumpkin the farthest (without explosives!).
Every November, thousands of amateur engineers converge on a farm
in Delaware to put their contraptions to the test. The machines at
the Punkin Chunkin festival rely on physics to get the pumpkin
airborne & Hank is here to give you all the fascinating details of
how it works. Happy Thanksgiving!
