To everyone asking what it feels like, imagine belly flopping into a pool, but the water turns to air right when you hit it, or someone slams a door in your face but it turns to wind as it hits you. It slaps your clothes against your body with enough force it kind of stings. Overall it’s not that bad, it’s actually fun!
I explained all this in the video… but the first shot knocked my mic off and I was stepping on it when I talked about it haha.
i nevergot hit by one but i can somehow feel it just by looking this video.
banan
I bet it feels very similar to standing next to Top Fuel Dragsters when they take off
This was an oddly specific childhood wish come true...
the belly flop thing makes sense to me given the explanation that air is like a liquid yea
Sir, this is not your backyard.
alienating his audience with this one
Not in my back yard !?
It’s somebody backyard
How do you know that?
Put sum respek on him
Yo! That video editing trick amplifying motion was pretty cool!!! The vortex gun was cool too I guess !!!😁
😂
lmao
Check out Posy's tutorial on it :)
@@tomclanys when next video? ive been waiting 8 years
Posy has a great video describing his process of using the effect
That air visualization editing trick was phenomenal.
its popularized by creator Posy on CZcams. from a video called motion extraction.
He did way more on the trick and has a video on how to do it. check him out!
I can see EVERYTHING!!!
I want to see this on a foggy morning
YES
or put inward pointing fog-machines around the barrel
No@@Sanguiris
@@KingSpartan95 Maybe
And in rain
This man is creating new lists to be on.
linus styropyro colinfrozen elecetroboom backwardscience i love all those!!!
It's funny you say that, because the Nazis actually tried developing an anti-aircraft air cannon that was supposed to send blasts of air that would cause planes to go into an uncontrollable spin and crash, but as usual, it didn't work out before WWII ended.
@@ShawnF6FHellcat That sounds like it would work against drones
😂😂😂😂
he clearly didn't cobble this thing together
This would be an AMAZING practical "special effect" in all sorts of things, like when they have those minor shockwaves in DBZ or some of the more modern superhero movies. All of the fabrics suddenly whipping and the minor stance change from the actor would make it look super neat.
I'm in love with this
What, an expensive machine, 10% more powerful than a nerd?
Makin the jet version of this?!
The sound that thing makes is absolutely wild!
That ring of air transmits some power, interesting, i can develop it for my army.👑
Shame is was used in possibly the dumbest scene in all of star wars lol
That 'tearing' sound sounds a LOT like artillery. Or at least what artillery sounds like in every movie and game I've seen.
Watch Ukraine war videos it sounds pretty similar
Because that's what happens around a shell or a bullet as it accelerates. This cannon has no round it is accelerating air.
Search for "dutch carbide canon! 😄
sounds like an f-16
this is the most cringe comment/response ive seen lmaoooo artillery shells are soo loud you cant hear for like 10-30 min after.
VRAD is such an appropriate name, because that is indeed very rad.
One of my all time favourite pieces of videography is the slow motion of explosion and the visible pressure waves they create and seeing the vortex cannon showing its messing around with air did not dissapoint either, the rest is pretty cool and impressive but seeing air manipulated to me is just stunning
Those vortex hits look like way too much fun to be legal! I love it! I would totally pay for this at a carnival to be hit by such a vortex cannon a couple of times haha.
@@Speed001lol yeah right try probably under a dollar
@@PrestigePotato maybe, but that's a large area to fill up
Vortex Dunk Tanks Need to be a Thing!!!!!!
im surprised it didn't shatter his bones when it hit him
@@SlavicUnionGamingWhy would it? Earthquakes can shatter mountains but at most jiggle humans around.
Good sir you can’t buy all of Nevada as your backyard!
And 10000x more expensive.

7:12 you sir have extremely specific childhood dreams
This could prove crucial for anti drone technology by blasting drones out of the air, with minimal visibility
They recover extremely quickly with the flight controllers and esc I build them
An Obama basketball says it all
Kevin is building quite the arsenal; A car mounted megawatt laser cannon, the focused laser cleaner, a liquid metal squirtgun, and now a freaking air cannon.
I probably missed a few implements of destruction but you get the idea

He didn’t build this one
Don't forget the table saw machine gun
@@LincDN I knew I missed a few
You could blow candles from a birthday cake with this. The design is very human.
Seeing a shockwave like this is so awesome. You’ve turned a concept into something visibly real.
That sound is WILD!! Sometimes you hear something and you’re just like “someone needs to use that in a movie.”
Alright. I’m back to say I just got to the part where it’s explained that it’s already been used as a movie sound effect so… good for them haha!
It also reminds me of the planetary defense gun from Subnautica in its physical appearance lol
They took the cool sound away in the movie clip. It would've been cooler if it was the actual sound
That cutaway bit at 0:26 absolutely killed me
Had an idea for a while. Using multiple of these or even larger vortex cannons installed above the structures around it in cities and areas that are prone to tornado activity. Would be interesting to test the theory if multiple cannons could break up a funnel cloud or even an active tornado.
Weather formations are very large. According to the U.S. NIH, a typical tornado clocks in with a total kinetic energy (TKE) of 62.1 GJ, or the power to move more than 62 _billion_ kilograms by one meter, or smaller amounts much farther, if that power was directed into one vector. One giant VRAD cannon did not knock over a skinny CZcamsr weighing perhaps 65kg. When you're talking "multiple" cannons....imagine typical Nerf dart guns versus an angry hippo or elephant. There is a point at which it would absolutely overwhelm the target. That point is _absurdly_ high.
65 is pretty close to 62, so let's just estimate a little further and divide that first number. One billion cannons _might_ knock tornado Kevin out of the sky, if he's an average or smaller tornado. It probably would not do anything to the weather in the area that spawned the tornado and may spawn more.
You also have to factor in recoil at the base, which wasn't featured in either video but is equal and opposite to the force of the blast, short though it was. The truck trailer moved by some measurable amount. Horizontal rocket engines atop tall buildings might not be good for keeping those buildings intact before the tornado hits (or misses) them.
Something really crazy to think about is the reality that every nuke in the entire world detonated on a tornado or hurricane wouldn't stop it. Natural disasters are incredibly powerful.
Definitely a cool canon. Glad to have you back
Somehow this man survives yet another recording process.
I don't think I've seen you any happier in a video 😂
Okay this has been one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time.
love to see you use the motion amplification technique it's so cool.
I wanna see that thing in schlieren imaging
6:07 "prank em John"
I was JUST watching videos of hail cannons and literally thought “What would happen if that vortex ring hit you?”, and then this was uploaded as I was thinking that.
This feels like as close as we will get to watching a Floridaman fight God.
you are the chosen one. the universe caters to you and you alone.
I liked how easy that video effect was to add. Something you might want to look at is "Live Video Magnification" at least I think that is the right software name. I sometimes download YT explosion videos just to enhance the compression wave. But I also use it for personal projects like seeing if the way trees bend in the wind can predict which ones will fall on me. Or if you want to see how vibrations move through mechanical equipment. It also does color change magnification so you can watch your face change color with your pulse.
your video style is incredibly unique and refreshing! ️
This video is going to go off. No pun intended.
It’s full of “whoa!” moments.
How many doomsday weapons do you need to have before you legally become a "Mad" backyard scientist?
The visual of the explosion inside the barrel is amazing
You crazy tomato ....watching your content ...😂😂😂 makes me remember watching TV com , The big bang theory.
Great video , all the way from the U.K.
Keep em coming pal.
i have to admit, the "effect" of you being shot by an invisible forcefield... Its hilarious
that can be damgerous because it could possibly cause him internal damage on his own organs
@@SlavicUnionGaming to say the least, ruptured ear drums, and microscopic damage to blood vessels similar to vibration disease that can cause blood clots and stroke :> ... But man it looks so.. Movie-like! Force push!!
I love that motion visualisation with the difference. Thanks fot showing that!
Thank you sir, since the days of Mythbusters I wanted to see a giant vortex cannon. I imagined them making one out of a full size garbage can, so this is even better!
Excellent CrunchLabs embedded ad. You and Colin Furze own the high ground.
So cool! Actually seemed like a seriously good drone disposal option, in Marks video
Kevin, the most florida-man of all the florida-men! Loved this vid!
That editing trick to show motion was insanely cool. Wow.
That is a very cool editing technique!
i really should start my homework...
Same
Bro same 💀

Did you finish it?
Don’t worry you will still find yet more distractions to keep avoiding it 😂
6:30 Imagine if the portapotty was full.
One of the coolest videos I’ve seen on CZcams in a long time 👍
I love how upbeat your video
is about a cannon
He finally posts a video
Too busy spending his millions lol
1:32 this is epic
You should really post a couple clips of the vortex cannon firing with no commentary or music, that sound is magnificent
2:14 - it sounded like the arrival of an artillery shell, only without the explosion. Some people are lucky, they can have fun and do all sorts of cool things for a ton of bucks...
You should have won the drone challenge with this, but still glad the boys got together to make a 10min commercial 😅. Of course William finished his device at deadline.
that was the coolest thing i've seen in a good while
I love how the sound of the vortex just gently stopped when it hit the tree love it! 😂
Undoubtedly that is one of coolest things I’ve ever seen. It’s 2nd only to my MIXTAPE! In stores!
This looked like a fun time..! Great video.! Thanks for sharing your awesome creativity.!
id like to see this connon in heavy rain
great idea ! and fog.
Jaw-dropping! I'm in awe of the sheer magnitude displayed.
That's an impressive vortex gun. But it's interesting that the air comes from the outside, yet it have almost no airflow related design around the outside. It would be cool if it had some sort of sloping taper to bring in more air. Maybe it could be even more powerful.
7:37 im sorry what??!!?!

Hi im TheBackyardScientist, welcome to Jackass 6:15
Love it each time a Backyard Scientist video is uploaded. Only thing is, and I'm sure others have noticed, but using a vortex cannon to put out a fire would spray out the embers and possibly start more fires.
I know you guys are sensible though, and wouldn't try this if there were high chances of it happening. 😀
The name "vortex cannon" unironically goes so hard even though the actual device isn't that destructive. Sounds like something you'd hear and see in a transformers movie.
This is the kind of weapon you need if you want to mildly inconvenience the enemy.
@@captain-poppleton true. Still looks and sounds cool though.
Thank God you are back! You are my favorite youtuber
Oh my lord 6:51 looked terrifying
I want to see this thing shot at: A pond/pool, a large patch of chalk dust, a roaring bonfire (can it actually feed it if the fire is big enough?) a filming drone, a paper airplane in flight, a kite, and, of course, a pile of flour near an ignition source.
This video put a smile on my face! Happy Friday America!
The air sweepers in clash of clans when you deploy the dragons

At 1:58 you can see the reflection of the vortex refracting the view of the ground to the right of the boxes.
Glad to see you take direct hits to show people that it doesn’t hurt the birds it’s meant to scare.
That is one of the coolest gizmos I’ve ever seen. I assume you’re going to have to build one to see how small you can make one and still get a decent effect?
I did not expect to hear you say the word "nuts" 😅. That was great.
Backdoor scientist strikes again! 😂 ty for cool vid!
It’s been 5 months!! 😂 it’s cool that you’ve been filming with Mark Rober tho!
You won that mark competiton dont care what anyone one says.
Dude, that vortex gun could be a good anti-riot weapon. Loud, dealt something to your body, but basically 'harmless'.
That putting out the fire was so cool!
Bill Nye hands down his gilded scepter of scientific tomfoolery to you.
Vortex cannons like this have been tried in rain making experiments. Maybe BackyardScientist could do a video demo about that?
This was way more impressive than I was expecting. Wo0t!!
The return of the king
Wouldn’t the pressure change mess up your ears?
If you're close enough. That's what the ear protection (sometimes just hands over ears) is for. You can induce ringing in ears (temporary damage) just by clapping your hands by them.
It's actually pretty interesting to watch if the vortex is disrupted by something. If it can continue its same ring shape after it gets interrupted
Good to see you back!
guys this is a literal banger 💀
Bro always uploads when you least expect it
Finally I check every week just in case I am not getting notifications and I finally see a new video.
Next time you get to play with the vortex cannon you should see what the effects are on remote control planes or drones since the idea was tossed around, during WWII, of using a vortex cannon to disrupt allied bombers over Europe. Cool to see if it was even possible or not.
Imagine your cannon being linked to the worst Star Wars movie ever made
I never imagined to see nerd Luca Modric getting hit by a giant vortex canon. Thank you internet.
0:22 this looks like the hail cannons that were used at the Nissan facility in Mississippi to prevent hail damage on the vehicles stored on their property in the early 2000’s. When the weather got bad they fired the two of them up and it was a sight to be heard and felt.
Right around 1:45 as youre talking about it being like a tornado. it looks like a small one passes you slowly in the background, it looks like a column of dust blowing by.
There were a lot of dust devils in the fields that day!
using a cartoonishly large gun to gently tip over a porta potty was pretty hilarious, should invite steve-o over to have some fun with the thing
I wonder how long it will take for William to post his kamikaze drone video
He said "soon," so maybe sometime between now and November? lol
Good sir, that vortex cannon KILLED the fire.
Good to know that there are people out there making vortex cannons with their free time. And he's me tryna make rent lol.
3:34 OBAMA.
Well, I survived a blast from my grandma's cabbage soup cannon, so I think I can handle a vortex cannon!
Ayooo this man is crazy AF talkin bout "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE" while he and his crew still in the line of fire, bruh
I can't tell you how excited I was to see you in a Mark Rober video. Next you should do a collab with the action lab
I don't know if the world is ready for that much "Woah!"
I think I could withstand it, I’m literally Batman
Glad to see Kevin is back, it’s been almost half a year, I could still withstand it though
