For those of you Mythbusters fans, they recently did an episode on this very subject:

It is possible to build a working sail boat out of nothing but duct tape.

Myth confirmed:

The Mythbusters built an entire sailboat using 690 square feet of duct tape for the hull and sail. They then took the boat, dubbed the Stuck on You, into San Francisco Bay. The duct tape boat showed no signs of failure, confirming the myth.


It is possible to build a working cannon out of nothing but duct tape.

Myth confirmed:

The Build Team created a small scale test cannon using inch thick tiles of duct tape. Tests confirmed that the duct tape was strong enough to withstand a cannon blast. Next, they built a larger duct tape cannon having a two inch thick barrel. They compared the performance of this cannon to a conventional steel cannon. While it didn’t perform as well as the steel cannon, the duct tape cannon stayed intact and managed to successfully fire a cannonball.
