Dispenser Lever Cannon

 * ''For use in Tutorials/TNT_cannons.

This simple but powerful manual dispenser-based cannon only has 1 power source - the lever. Flip it to "powered" state to release the charge. Flip it once more to release the shell.

Pros: Very simple and powerful.

Cons: Expensive dispensers, slightly tricky to efficiently use.

The technical name for it is 216.0MM3 dispenser:
 * 2 (overlapping) rows of TNT
 * 1 shell
 * 6 charge TNT total, 2 rows of 3
 * .0 - no condensation.
 * M - manual cannon.
 * M3 - slab mounting block.
 * Special:
 * dispenser - dispenser-based cannon.

Also, you can add a comparator and a hopper for manual setup. But you'll want to compensate the extra tick of the comparator by adding a repeater on the other side. The darker blocks are 2 high:

The measure of hopper A is subtracted from 15. The output will be 0-3, depending on the amount of items in hopper A.

Hopper A must contain at most 3 full stacks (or non-stackable items) and 60 items for the adjustable row to work on full strength. Each additional 23rd item will turn off a dispenser sequentially, beginning from the front. See also Redstone_Comparator for the exact values.

Stone-Cart-Stone, or Stone Centipede

 * For use in Tutorials/Rube_Goldberg_machine.

You can have a cobblestone generator to push stone or cobblestone into a straight line. Next to this line are minecarts on powered rails. Once a block of stone generates next to a minecart, it will go away from the line and fall onto a rail going to the generator and activate the piston to push out another block. The line will launch another cart to push out stone once more... Don't forget that pistons can only push up to 12 blocks!

There is the schematic:
