    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.

    • @joeKisonue
      @joeKisonue Před rokem +1

      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.

      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).

    • @FullOilBarrel

      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

    • @joeKisonue

      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.
