Wham-O released a toy for children back in the 1960s that used this principle. It was around 6" in diameter and had a handle and trigger to fire it. Seems ever few generations every old is new again.
@uploadJ yes I bought some when I was a teen. Small bottle sealed with wax. Had to discard after opening. Walmart and bass pro shops sell all kinds of urine, used in hunting.
This is amazing and funny at the same time. When I was a kid or maybe a teenager you could buy a toy that did this exact same thing but on a much smaller scale. I think it was during the 1990s.
Add a wind tunnel inside the cannon to speed up the air within, then fire it off. I’m thinking it would give the vortex more velocity which could give it more distance. May have more damaging force, start small.
There is an optimal volume and speed. Faster just makes it unstable never forming a rolling ring. Just like blowing harder doesn't make a whistle louder.
Could not skip the ads, never got through to actually watch the clip in the end. Tell youtube the oppressive ads are stopping me watching your clip which looked cool.
@4:58 The plastic deforms, wasting energy. If it were completely rigid all the energy would go into the blast. The US Military made one with Gunpowder back in 1998 that could do 109 mph (48.7 meters per second).
The limit of energy is the potential energy of those rubber bands. You can not increase energy of the shot by narrowing the exit hole. More power could be gained if they used stronger rubber bands and more solid container to prevent losses (like 4 mm steel instead of that plastic).
Faster wouldn't create the vortex ring, just chaotic fast moving air. The vortex is cool because it stays organized and can carry an effect much farther down range than anything else.
Not biggest, child size actually. Nuclear Institute №12 in Russia has air cannon to simulate shockwave from nuclear blast. Its used for testing armored vehicles. They just putting the whole tank into the barrel of cannon and shooting it. Simple cars from 40-50 meters that cannon tears to pieces.
I would put in some type of plaster mold to go into a vortex a hurricane type swirl for air pocket vortex hurricane swirl with enough Force of 10 lb maybe 30
i wonder what would happen if the tank was filled with a 50/50 mix of starting fluid and smoke. shoot the vorticy at a candle and see if it lights the vorticy.?
@@tanjmazmaz3731 the hail cannon does create a small shockwave but its focused into the vortex from the design of the cone turret. a explosion from the combustion chamber forces air out of the cannon at a insane speed then quickly stops. the cone shape of the cannon only stops the flow near the sides letting the air through the center spinning the air into a doughnut creating a vortex. the process is so quick it creates a shockwave inside the vortex in the process. here's the difference between a vortex and a shockwave. a vortex can be completly invisible if its just air with no smoke. shockwaves are always visible. shockwaves bend light and creates a distortion as it spreads out. in order to see a shockwave from a hail cannon you'll need a expensive slow motion camera to see it.
6:24 the way the boxes came out so perfect!!!
Delaware Smashhhhhhh!!!
*Clears throat* This blows!!
What would happen if 2 vortex rings collided?
Psychedellyfish the would break up
a new rick and morty episode appears.
A black hole would form
Gravitational wave
They would butts and weiners.
Really wish they'd used it directly on a person!
yhea they should, I would personally test it, not from close distance trough
It would definitely have knocked them over from 30 or even 50 feet. After that I'm not sure...
me too
that kill kill your insides if you were to close

Dragon born would be a good nickname for the air cannon.

Is this the optimal air cannon? What happens with a smaller hole in the front, or does it have to have certain proportions to make a proper toroid? :o
Andreas Aronsson It has to have the right size to form the vortex ring, otherwise it wouldnt go as far.

What normal people see: a huge air cannon
What gamer see: ray gun in cod
That would be a fun game. Two teams, each has a cannon and has to build their box castle, then air cannon the other team's castle down.
Holy shit
I would love to spend time messing around with that.
Love the air cannon, and the factory you guys are playing in.
We had a small one of these. Animals hate it. This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
Yes, Wham-O made it.
I used to shoot our German Shepherd from around 20ft away, and it would agiatate the dog every time.
Shoot farts at friends

Why is he not saying "FUS RO DAH?"
the hole has to be smaller on the shooting side for compressed air too to reach maximum velocity
You would think a group making such a large example would have done all the calculations and built it correctly. I do
Fus ro DAH!
Ayyy skyrim
should've put down a couple mattresses and mowed down some people
4:14 DENDI?!
lmao
Dondo
I don't know anything about physics but I think if they put a choke on the exit point, they would get more velocity,range and a tighter ring .
Right but you won't get the organized air event. You would get faster air with no vortex ring
I think if you change the mechanism to unlatch and let it go instead of dragging the rope it would cause more Force
Absolut toll. Macht echt spaß das anzuschauen ^^
I tried to look for these online and I don't see any except for some little mini ones.
Greta job my friends , congratulations on your suscess! Very cool video thank you for sharing it with us.

I saw one that was much bigger. It was from a japanese TV show or something like that.

who else thinks this looks like the 'Unrelenting Force' shout from Skyrim??
This reminds me of sending a fart across the living room to my unsuspecting kids.
In the great cardboard box war of 2047, these guys will be the only ones to survive.
Probably good for near distance (probably riots) combat/usage as it didn't actually creates those explosion which can self destruct it's user
That looks like a lot of fun
The first step towards a Death Star cannon.
Hopefully they are working on the next one which will be pulled back by some sort of motor.
what do you do in your spare time? i see if i can knock boxes down with air. oh my i see.
Those rings was so awsome
Imagine if they made the exit a lot more narrow, the air would be going way faster
Now imagine it being the same size as a barrel of a gun.

Sealing the hole shut then pumping a lot of air. Make a barrel aswell and a fast open system. It will go fast and far and can propell projectiles
Faster wouldn't create the vortex ring, just chaotic fast moving air. The vortex is cool because it stays organized and can carry an effect much farther down range than anything else.

this is going viral.
Lol no it’s not
@@Ghost-ts1wi Give it some time my friend, it's only been 4 years. :)
what if you put weight in the boxes will it still work ?
Now imagine if we could do that with gravity in place of the air.. aim high!
Orisa can do that
Nah those boxes fall like a physics simulator
That's frickin awesome!
How effective would this be as a weapon?
Fighting candle monsters? Great
... could work keep shooting at protesters as a non- deadly weapon??? May be
What material did they use, to pull out with a rope?(min 4:56)
Coud plasma be discharged like that?
3:21: Very beautiful
So amazing and so bigger
What's the point if you don't test it out on a person? It looks like it would be fun to be the "target". I'd definitely volunteer!
At 5:36
they had to take out the BMW production line for this project..
in b4 viral af becuase this is awesome af
Do the workers in this factory have nothing better to do than to build an air cannon?
That was awesome!!!!
Firing like Sarajevo? What does THAT supposed to mean? :O
i wonder what would happen if the tank was filled with a 50/50 mix of starting fluid and smoke. shoot the vorticy at a candle and see if it lights the vorticy.?
Sure if you sent a flammable mixture as the ring it would definitely ignite 60 feet down range
This video is very cool
After trying and trying again, we finally realized we needed top aim higher.
Duuuuuuhhh
Keep up the good work I guess
3:40 good camera man
use it with propane , that would be interesting
If they made the air exit taper to a smaller end I'd bet the force would be greater and more accurate
You say bet. You talking money?
1:55 sounds like he's talking in reverse. haha
Wamo toys made a toy gun that did the same thing, you could move the curtains in our house at 60 ft. That was about 50 years ago.
I mean, is 100m 360feet? or is it just over 328 feet?
100 m = 0,1 km = 1 hm = 10 dam = 1000 dm = 10 000 cm = 100 000 mm
328.001 ft.
Freedom units make European 240v 50Hz calculators misfire and run a bit rough. Always have.
I legit think can be used to deflect raining arrows in the age of swords and crusaders. Lol
Hmmm could it be used to prime tornadoes or stop them??????? hmmmmm
Now that's a fus ro dah

thats big? lol look up hail cannon. they are designed to shoot a vortex at the speed of sound into the clouds to disrupt hailstorms to prevent hail.
... so it's like a shock wave then ???
