So I love making interesting projects, however I'm running low on ideas at the moment. I'm looking for more projects that you can build and have alot of fun with. And I'm hoping to keep the budget to projects that cost under $100 (unless its a reeeeally awesome project). And preferrably something that doesn't take a whole lot of time to build, maybe 1-5 hours total work time (not counting breaks, letting glue dry, etc.
Some of the things I've built recently are some awesome Potato Cannons, A trash can sized Air-Zooka, Skim board, Various padded beating sticks (sort of like american gladiators), Water rockets. Diet coke/mentos devices, Fire wire (lighting steel wool and spinning it).
So thats the type of stuff I like. Anyone know any ideas of any others I should try. Or also know any great sites online with plenty of ideas?

Well you could try making a Wimshurst machine. This is a static electricity producing machine that can make up to 4 inch sparks so it is pretty cool. It might take longer than you would want to make but it is pretty cool to have it.

Ever thought about atlatl and thrower?
Sling? But that will take a much longer time training to get any good.
Siege engines?
Here is a link to a website that has a lot of these things:
