This project was inspired by many things. Large commercially made vortex cannons are used (theoretically) to disrupt hail formation and prevent damage to farmland. German scientists during WWII also constructed a large vortex cannon designed as an anti air gun. The plan was to use a powdered fuel that would mix and ignite within the vortex ring, allowing it to increase in strength as it was fired into the clouds. The purpose in that case was to create an impact with allied aircraft powerful enough to snap the wings off. It never did see use. In a future video I may try integrating a fuel into the vortex rings just to see if the idea really had merit.

In any case this project was an interesting one, and a great first project to film with my new high speed camera. Leave my some feedback in the comments!

Thanks once again to my sponsor ThruNite for helping to fund this video! Revenue from YouTube has been in decline over the last year so my sponsors are a huge support to allow me to make the best videos I can. I've been really happy with all the lights I've been able to test, they're extremely impressive.
