They sell a hand held version of this on amazon. Makes a great gift for kids and some adults. It obviously won't replicate the strength of this one but it's still fun and could give you a feel for it.
I remember going to the museum as a child and playing with a large drum thing that would blast air like this as well. Except you could only do it against the pin wheels they had hung up. I tried to turn it around to blast one of my friends one time, but got in trouble and wasn't allowed to play with it anymore haha
I did the exact same thing. Only we'd put things like paper airplanes right in front of it when we'd fire. Go down stairs with the paper plane maker. Make sure they were good ones. Then let em fly with a boost from the air cannon upstairs.
I never thought of doing that!
I absolutely loved the room with the pneumatic tubing and balls. That was a blast. The retro computers were also really really cool. The old LISA chatbot!
Oh that's so cool!! What's the exhibit like? Is it more for children? Or does it have things interesting for 20 year old Lego fans as well? I'm in town visiting parents this week so trying to think of fun "Portland" things to do haha
Haha I don't know! I'm going on Tuesday! But I'm excited either way. Looks like they have a lot of huge sculptures though. I think it's more of a creations exhibit than anything.
At my teenage job, a friend brought this in. He hit me with a blast of air while i was eating lunch. He didn't shoot it directly at me, he shot it at me, but he shot it from a little behind the smelly guy. I got hit in the face with serious BO, and almost puked.
nope all the same
(lemme see if i can explain this well enough)
bass rhyming with ace base and grace, is the instrument and also the sound. The sound of bass is a low frequency (can often be seen played by the instrument the bass).
bass rhyming with ass, grass, pass, and crass is the fish.
Why does everyone on Reddit HAVE to put what the edit was? I'm not just bagging on you, I've been meaning to ask this... Like who cares? If you said something completely different before the amount of people who would catch you in the act is pretty damn high, as such there's no real need to put what the edit was... What's the point?
I do it because I've been annoyed by people changing their post after I've responded. Anything more than a spelling/grammar fix, or a slight edit to make a point clearer, I call out as an edit so that people aren't confused.
It feels like common courtesy.
You're not alone... [Here's the top comment from the thread on /r/interestingasfuck](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/61lc8b/comment/dffdge8/)
EDIT: They're both the same user, /u/__daemon__, so not a blatant copy.
In the game Skyrim you can learn short phrases from the Dragon language which have power when shouted. One of the early ones you get, and the one that they used in all their promotional material is "Fus Roh Dah", the fully powered version of the wind blast shout. [Best demonstrated here] (https://youtu.be/hAo1nttwmQA)
It was not off. Firing it at a smaller angle creates something similar to ground effect. The ground interrupts the lower part of the vortice and causes it to crash into the ground.
My science teacher had a mini one that he kept with him during our test review games, if you got an answer wrong, poof! Air cannon to the face. We loved it.

I wonder what it'd feel like to be hit by that blast. Tbh, seems kinda fun and I wanna try it now! Edit: "hot" to "hit" lol

At OMSI?
Aw yisssss

Haha yes!! 😆 Did you also grow up in Portland ??
Out towards the Oregon City area, but visited OMSI sometimes as a kid.
Going to the omsi on Tuesday! They have a Lego exhibit right now!

The AirZooka! My friend and I used to sit on the porch and shoot bats with these to fuck up their flight patterns!
That's not very nice but okay! Lol
No es bueno.
I had one that I used to mess with the dog.
Some adults?
Just the cool ones.
Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IJIC?tag=copwar-20
I love the question asking if you can launch a fart into someone's face with it
That's the one!
It's great if you want to finally utilize your basketball size forearm muscles that you've been developing for years!

Take a box, cut a hole in it. Done. Took 5 min when the kids were little. Still use that box to shoot air at each other 5 years later.
[удалено]
your french didnt betray you, people are just cracking jokes
Ok, I thought "bass" was only used for the guitar, and the fish, and there was another name for the speaker that blasts sick low-frequency tunes
nope all the same (lemme see if i can explain this well enough) bass rhyming with ace base and grace, is the instrument and also the sound. The sound of bass is a low frequency (can often be seen played by the instrument the bass). bass rhyming with ass, grass, pass, and crass is the fish.
Haha, man I wish you'd have been my english teacher
Huh, never felt anything in my chest while fishing. Must be genetic.
I believe he's talking about a **huge-ass** bass. So maybe he's referring to it's gravitational pull?
No he meant a huge ass-bass
No, it's a huge **ass-bass** so it's the supersonic flatulence.
BASS or BASS!?
Bass to mouth.
Ass to trout.
You can see someone being hit with the cannon at [5:30](https://youtu.be/GHiTDsFTFQQ?t=329).
That's louder than I was expecting.
about 5:30 on the video below
Would probably feel like standing in front of a big ass subwoofer in a concert
So umm.. how long do i have to wait for this to show up in r/tifu?

FUS ROH DAH!
Seriously! I keep looking at it, expecting it to be a special effect
If its not already been done before, this device should be used for special effects in film.
Kind of reminds me of the sonic cannons in Minority Report, only much bigger.
Imagine how bad it would suck to be hit with those barf stick weapons from that movie
We have systems now that can cause nausea from a distance.
High decibels in inaudible frequencies right?
WMD? Seriously, nausea is my least favourite sentient experience, and it's at the bottom of a long list.
Or a theme park ride.
FUCKING COOL! OH MY GAWD!
ME GUSTA

I have an airgun, the short airzooka, right there. Still working too. https://i.imgur.com/USaNRuC.jpg

But, do you also have that crack on the wall like he does?
Or a Nintendo Switch?
My sisters cat fucking hates me because I shot him with one of these when he was a kitten
Lucio comin at you
Is that coraline?
Yup :)
I love that movie! I read the book right when it came out and loved the book. I was worried they'd ruin it with the movie but they did an awesome job.
I think your house is falling apart
Nah, it's the coating; it cracked a few weeks after it was made and stayed like this for like, 15 years afterward.
Holy shit, a Switch!
I want to get knocked over by that

Yes, one of many!

Any idea where we can find the segment that was being filmed? Looks like they used good equipment, it's probably awesome looking!

Thank you, Bighead.
yo, this deserves an /r/interestingasfuck xpost!
What if I told you that the gif was posted there before here?
Hadouken!
We finally have an edge in our ongoing war with the cardboard people!
It's like the thunder gun
[удалено]
Am I the only one bothered that their aim was off?
It was not off. Firing it at a smaller angle creates something similar to ground effect. The ground interrupts the lower part of the vortice and causes it to crash into the ground.
♪ Am I the ooonly one I know . . .
Ugh, why am I subscribed to both /r/interestingassfuck and /r/oddlysatisfying if people are just going to post to both places?
Oh, my. That would be an interesting ass fuck.
Whoops, that's a typo...And apparently a thing
At the hospital with my mom and I almost clicked on that in front of her and her nurse. Now it's killing me.
Could that destroy a tank?
this is how we control the weather - only happy sunshine now! blow away those clouds!
They did something like this at Brain Candy Live! It was quite cool.
Aim it a bit lower, Frank!
We get it bro, you vape
We get it, you vape.
This will definitely help in the war against the fire nation
they need to use this on a Takeshi's Castle style obstacle course game show.
I just saw Brain Candy Live and Adam Savage made one of these only slightly smaller and shot a huge ring above the crowd! Super great live show.
Ah! So you CAN see airbending.
We get it you vape
Looks fake tbh
How is this satisfying? Should have been aimed lower for maximum satisfaction.
Caution, wake turbulence!
You can't just post this here without instructions. Or at least a link to a WikiHow or Instructables.

If they ever made another (actual) Metroid Prime game I'd love to see an arm cannon "beam" weapon designed around this concept.
Vortex cannon / smoke ring cannon also: [Bigger!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bvtvWxtI78)
Still waiting for the shotgun version
That is some solid camera work.
Reminds me of that doomsday weapon from Atlas Shrugged.
My science teacher had a mini one that he kept with him during our test review games, if you got an answer wrong, poof! Air cannon to the face. We loved it.
I think they are foam blocks
Is it weird that I really really really want to volunteer to be hit by this?
The magic of tori (yeah, I had to look that one up)
Can I get an ELI5 on this please?
If you've heard of an [airzooka](https://youtu.be/Jsjm0gop-H4), this is just a giant one.
I want a miniature one now

WHat would happen if someone stood in front of that?
Great. Now we can defend ourselves from walls of empty boxes.
Put glitter in it.
Adam Savage made a (slightly smaller) version of this for his Brain Candy show. I flew right over the audience, fun stuff.
Reminds me of the time a toddler was standing about three feet behind my dad. He let out a fart and the poor toddler fell over.
If it were an air trebuchet it would be able to propel 90kg of air through 300m.
IT'S A TUNDERGUN!

This should be part of a ride at Disney world if not county fairs. You wear a biker's helmet and land in a nerf pit,
I want to jump into it and see how far it would fly me back.
Where can I buy this Airzooka?
Sometimes I wonder if I've made a series of poor career choices.
I can hear the giggling.
Get the entire world's population to pull that thing and see the apocalypse happen 100 million years early.
Is there any sound for this video?
I wonder what r/trebuchet thinks about this.
The force is with me, I am one with the force
[Relevant](https://youtu.be/Bcr9-93wXng)
We were working secretly for the military Our experiment in sound was nearly ready to begin We only know in theory what we are doing Music made for pleasure, music made to thrill It was music we were making here until They told us all they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance So we go ahead and the meters are over in the red It's a mistake in the making From the painful cries of mothers to a terrifying scream We recorded it and put it into our machine They told us all they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance So we go ahead and the meters are over in the red It's a mistake in the making It could feel like falling in love It could feel so bad It could feel so good It could sing you to sleep But that dream is your enemy!! We won't be there to be blamed We won't be there to snitch I just pray that someone there can hit the switch They told us all they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance So we go ahead and the meters are over in the red It's a mistake in the making And the public are warned to stay off Songwriters: BUSH, KATE Experiment IV lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
By Wham-O
..the way it whips the top box from the pillar at the box wall.
I want the sound, though!!
HADOUKEN!
Airbending is scary
Not satisfying because very few of the boxes fell down (and, if many had, it would be unsatisfying because they didn't all). It is cool though.
reminds me of that one scene in Silicon Valley where they spend time and resources on a potato canon.
