Mark French had a big dream in January of 2013. With a subsonic pingpong gun already built, French wanted to take the idea to a whole new level. So French and his team created a supersonic pingpong gun, which can shoot a pingpong ball faster than the speed of sound.
His team consisted of Ph.D. students Craig Zehrung and Jim Stratton. Davin Huston, a continuing lecturer of electrical and computer engineering technology, watched over the tests as they were performed.
