hey guys welcome back to the king of random thanks for joining us today not
random thanks for joining us today not
random thanks for joining us today not too long ago we showed you how to build
too long ago we showed you how to build
too long ago we showed you how to build your very own air vortex cannon it’s a
your very own air vortex cannon it’s a
your very own air vortex cannon it’s a fun toy that shoots at a ring of air
fun toy that shoots at a ring of air
fun toy that shoots at a ring of air that travels for a surprisingly long
that travels for a surprisingly long
that travels for a surprisingly long distance today we’re going to take what
distance today we’re going to take what
distance today we’re going to take what we’ve already built and we’re gonna see
we’ve already built and we’re gonna see
we’ve already built and we’re gonna see what happens if we scale it both up and
what happens if we scale it both up and
what happens if we scale it both up and down now when I say we’re gonna scale it
down now when I say we’re gonna scale it
down now when I say we’re gonna scale it down I mean we’re going to get a lot
down I mean we’re going to get a lot
down I mean we’re going to get a lot smaller and when I say we’re gonna scale
smaller and when I say we’re gonna scale
smaller and when I say we’re gonna scale it up I mean we’re going to get a lot
it up I mean we’re going to get a lot
it up I mean we’re going to get a lot bigger let’s start by making the tiny
bigger let’s start by making the tiny
bigger let’s start by making the tiny air cannon for this tiny air cannon
air cannon for this tiny air cannon
air cannon for this tiny air cannon pretty much all the supplies we need are
pretty much all the supplies we need are
pretty much all the supplies we need are a tiny plastic cup and a regular balloon
a tiny plastic cup and a regular balloon
a tiny plastic cup and a regular balloon now we want to make a hole in the bottom
now we want to make a hole in the bottom
now we want to make a hole in the bottom of our cup that leaves a little bit of a
of our cup that leaves a little bit of a
of our cup that leaves a little bit of a border around it it would probably be
border around it it would probably be
border around it it would probably be pretty simple to cut that out with a
pretty simple to cut that out with a
pretty simple to cut that out with a knife but if you have a drill bit that
knife but if you have a drill bit that
knife but if you have a drill bit that makes nice big holes why not use it with
makes nice big holes why not use it with
makes nice big holes why not use it with a hole cut in your cup the next step is
a hole cut in your cup the next step is
a hole cut in your cup the next step is to cut your balloon we want to cut off
to cut your balloon we want to cut off
to cut your balloon we want to cut off the neck of the balloon and then a
the neck of the balloon and then a
the neck of the balloon and then a little bit more so we have mostly just
little bit more so we have mostly just
little bit more so we have mostly just the widest part of the balloon now with
the widest part of the balloon now with
the widest part of the balloon now with our balloon cut we just need to stretch
our balloon cut we just need to stretch
our balloon cut we just need to stretch it over the open mouth of the cup that
it over the open mouth of the cup that
it over the open mouth of the cup that will actually hold itself on pretty well
will actually hold itself on pretty well
will actually hold itself on pretty well but just to reinforce it I’m gonna use a
but just to reinforce it I’m gonna use a
but just to reinforce it I’m gonna use a little bit of tape to ensure that it
little bit of tape to ensure that it
little bit of tape to ensure that it doesn’t go anywhere and believe it or
doesn’t go anywhere and believe it or
doesn’t go anywhere and believe it or not just like that
not just like that
not just like that you have a miniature air cannon most
you have a miniature air cannon most
you have a miniature air cannon most balloons will have a little bit of a
balloons will have a little bit of a
balloons will have a little bit of a dimple on the back end so if you use
dimple on the back end so if you use
dimple on the back end so if you use that to grip you can get a pretty good
that to grip you can get a pretty good
that to grip you can get a pretty good powerful shot out of your tiny cannon of
powerful shot out of your tiny cannon of
powerful shot out of your tiny cannon of course this is shooting out very small
course this is shooting out very small
course this is shooting out very small rings of completely clear air so it’s
rings of completely clear air so it’s
rings of completely clear air so it’s hard to see what’s going on we’re gonna
hard to see what’s going on we’re gonna
hard to see what’s going on we’re gonna set up a few different things to
set up a few different things to
set up a few different things to hopefully illustrate more clearly what’s
hopefully illustrate more clearly what’s
hopefully illustrate more clearly what’s going on I have this hanging mylar
going on I have this hanging mylar
going on I have this hanging mylar decoration which moves very easily with
decoration which moves very easily with
decoration which moves very easily with just a little bit of air current so it’s
just a little bit of air current so it’s
just a little bit of air current so it’s a great target to see if you’re actually
a great target to see if you’re actually
a great target to see if you’re actually hitting it with these little rings of
hitting it with these little rings of
hitting it with these little rings of air first let’s try it out with the
air first let’s try it out with the
air first let’s try it out with the normal sized air bazooka they go our
normal sized air bazooka they go our
normal sized air bazooka they go our regular air bazooka works pretty well
regular air bazooka works pretty well
regular air bazooka works pretty well you can see how much it moves the
you can see how much it moves the
you can see how much it moves the curtain we’re going to be dealing with a
curtain we’re going to be dealing with a
curtain we’re going to be dealing with a much lower volume of air with our tiny
much lower volume of air with our tiny
much lower volume of air with our tiny one but I bet it will still work I’m
one but I bet it will still work I’m
one but I bet it will still work I’m gonna try it from pretty up close just
gonna try it from pretty up close just
gonna try it from pretty up close just for the first couple shots
for the first couple shots
for the first couple shots see how this works it moves doesn’t move
see how this works it moves doesn’t move
see how this works it moves doesn’t move nearly as much as a bigger one but it
nearly as much as a bigger one but it
nearly as much as a bigger one but it definitely moves all right I’m gonna try
definitely moves all right I’m gonna try
definitely moves all right I’m gonna try backing up from a little farther away
backing up from a little farther away
backing up from a little farther away and see how it does
and see how it does
and see how it does oh there it is huh
oh there it is huh
oh there it is huh seems like it travels really fast too
seems like it travels really fast too
seems like it travels really fast too like like the instant after it snaps
like like the instant after it snaps
like like the instant after it snaps making our mylar shake I want to try and
making our mylar shake I want to try and
making our mylar shake I want to try and find a way that I can see the air coming
find a way that I can see the air coming
find a way that I can see the air coming out of this so I’m going to start by
out of this so I’m going to start by
out of this so I’m going to start by just using a little bit of smoke from a
just using a little bit of smoke from a
just using a little bit of smoke from a match and see how well that works
well there we go getting some good smoke
well there we go getting some good smoke rings coming out you can probably see
rings coming out you can probably see
rings coming out you can probably see instead of grabbing it and firing it out
instead of grabbing it and firing it out
instead of grabbing it and firing it out the way I was I’m just kind of tapping
the way I was I’m just kind of tapping
the way I was I’m just kind of tapping it on the back I think it fires so
it on the back I think it fires so
it on the back I think it fires so quickly that any smoke rings would just
quickly that any smoke rings would just
quickly that any smoke rings would just dissipate before you could see them I’ll
dissipate before you could see them I’ll
dissipate before you could see them I’ll try one where I just shoot it out at
try one where I just shoot it out at
try one where I just shoot it out at full speed I think it’s just gonna be
full speed I think it’s just gonna be
full speed I think it’s just gonna be too hard to see anything but we’ll try
too hard to see anything but we’ll try
too hard to see anything but we’ll try it Wow yeah like there’s a little bit of
it Wow yeah like there’s a little bit of
it Wow yeah like there’s a little bit of smoke that just disappeared almost
smoke that just disappeared almost
smoke that just disappeared almost immediately went way too fast you
immediately went way too fast you
immediately went way too fast you couldn’t see the shape of it so I think
couldn’t see the shape of it so I think
couldn’t see the shape of it so I think you’re trying to make visible smoke it
you’re trying to make visible smoke it
you’re trying to make visible smoke it works best to just tap on the back of it
works best to just tap on the back of it
works best to just tap on the back of it that seems to work out pretty well let’s
that seems to work out pretty well let’s
that seems to work out pretty well let’s try that again there you go it only
try that again there you go it only
try that again there you go it only takes a couple of minutes to make this
takes a couple of minutes to make this
takes a couple of minutes to make this tiny little air bazooka which has
tiny little air bazooka which has
tiny little air bazooka which has surprisingly good range and make some
surprisingly good range and make some
surprisingly good range and make some really cool little rings if you add some
really cool little rings if you add some
really cool little rings if you add some smoke to it we now know how to make our
smoke to it we now know how to make our
smoke to it we now know how to make our tiny air bazooka now let’s move on to

bottom of our bucket leaving a border of two or three inches our bucket full of
two or three inches our bucket full of
two or three inches our bucket full of tape has a bottom that’s just the right
tape has a bottom that’s just the right
tape has a bottom that’s just the right size for our circle you can see that the
size for our circle you can see that the
size for our circle you can see that the bottom of our trash can is not perfectly
bottom of our trash can is not perfectly
bottom of our trash can is not perfectly leveled but I’m hoping it’s level enough
leveled but I’m hoping it’s level enough
leveled but I’m hoping it’s level enough that it won’t cause any problems

bungee like we did with our small air
bungee like we did with our small air bazooka but on this one if you just hit
bazooka but on this one if you just hit
bazooka but on this one if you just hit the back like a drum it will actually
the back like a drum it will actually
the back like a drum it will actually send out a wave of air from the front
one of the other advantages of an air
one of the other advantages of an air bazooka this size is that it makes
bazooka this size is that it makes
bazooka this size is that it makes really large rings so let’s try filling
really large rings so let’s try filling
really large rings so let’s try filling this one with smoke and see what kind of
this one with smoke and see what kind of
this one with smoke and see what kind of ring as we get out of it a very simply
ring as we get out of it a very simply
ring as we get out of it a very simply activated giant air cannon however I do
activated giant air cannon however I do
activated giant air cannon however I do have one more thing I want to try using
have one more thing I want to try using
have one more thing I want to try using the exact same design we used on our
the exact same design we used on our
the exact same design we used on our regular-sized air cannon I went ahead
regular-sized air cannon I went ahead
regular-sized air cannon I went ahead and used a different trashcan and patted
and used a different trashcan and patted
and used a different trashcan and patted the spring loaded back to it so let’s
the spring loaded back to it so let’s
the spring loaded back to it so let’s see what difference that makes in our

out of this way I have here a batch of
out of this way I have here a batch of some of our colored smoke powder and
some of our colored smoke powder and
some of our colored smoke powder and last time I was trying to light some of
last time I was trying to light some of
last time I was trying to light some of this stuff off I had in a paper bowl and
this stuff off I had in a paper bowl and
this stuff off I had in a paper bowl and the bowls kept lighting on fire so this
the bowls kept lighting on fire so this
the bowls kept lighting on fire so this time I’m using a terra cotta dish pretty

sure this is not going to burn instead
sure this is not going to burn instead of lighting the smoke out here and
of lighting the smoke out here and
of lighting the smoke out here and trying to draw it into our smoke bazooka
trying to draw it into our smoke bazooka
trying to draw it into our smoke bazooka I’m going to try putting this entire
I’m going to try putting this entire
I’m going to try putting this entire terracotta dish inside the trash can and
terracotta dish inside the trash can and
terracotta dish inside the trash can and light it up there so all of the smoke
light it up there so all of the smoke
light it up there so all of the smoke that it produces will stay inside we
that it produces will stay inside we
that it produces will stay inside we shouldn’t lose any it start was just a
shouldn’t lose any it start was just a

it starts burning I’m gonna start trying
it starts burning I’m gonna start trying to fire this air bazooka there we go
to fire this air bazooka there we go
