Design a Better Vortex Cannon - Science Friday.
This paper aims at increase in efficiency of one such eco friendly system named vortex tube used for industrial spot cooling and process cooling needs, such as Spot cooling, Weld cooling, Plastic slitting, Extrusion cooling, Foodstuffs cooling etc.
An air vortex cannon is a piece of weaponry that releases doughnut-shaped air vortices — similar to smoke rings but larger, stronger and invisible. The vortices are able to ruffle hair, disturb papers or blow out candles after travelling several metres.
Vortices in general, and vortex rings in particular, have a long, interesting, and sometimes dubious place in the history of science. In the 1500s, the great Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) made sketches of vortex motion in water falling into a pool. Though no “rings” are formed for obvious reasons.
We predict that the shape of the cannon, the size of the hole, the volume of the cannon, and how much strength is used to pull back the membrane, are variables that affect the vortex outcome.We think this because the hole is the last the air reaches in the cannon, so a smaller hole will force the air differently than a bigger hole; the volume of the cannon determines how much air will be.
Hence, the aim of this paper is to determine the gap in the vortex power plant technology development through past works and a set of research recommendations will be developed as efforts to accelerate the development of GWVPP. Export citation and abstract BibTeX RIS.
Pappus of the dandelion which produces a separated vortex ring in order to stabilize flight. There has been research and experiments on the existence of separated vortex rings (SVR) such as those formed in the wake of the pappus of a dandelion.

How Does It Work. The correct name for the air cannon, smoke-ring device is “vortex generator”. The “ring” of air that shoots out of the cannon is actually a flat, vertical section of of air. The outer edge of this moving air is rolling backwards on itself.

Vortex cannons have been used by physics teachers for years, mostly to teach the continuity principle. In its simplest form, a vortex cannon is an empty coffee can with a hole cut in the bottom.
Excerpt from Research Paper: Mill's Canon mainly deals with induction, which is defined as the process of arriving at a causation. The methods of induction are agreement, difference, joint method, method, residues, and concountant variation. These methods are aimed at establishing what causes a certain phenomenon under investigation.
Cannon’s research on homeostasis and the fight-or-flight response led him to delve into mechanisms of “voodoo death” and to propose a new theory of emotions, known as the Cannon-Bard theory. Cannon thought that the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal medulla operated as a functional unit, with epinephrine as the chemical messenger.

A low cost, reliable, maintenance free solution to a variety of industrial spot cooling problems. Using an ordinary supply of compressed air as a power source, vortex tubes create two streams of air, one hot and one cold, with no moving parts.
How to Make a Vortex Cannon Want to turn yourself into a real life Ironman? Well, now you can! Except using cardboard, not iron. But cardboard is cool! You will need - Sticky tape - A bowl - Scissors - Ping-pong ball - Rubber bands - A plastic bag - Some help from an adult! Step 1.
Materials List: Paper Cup with lid A latex glove or balloon Tape Scissors Notes: While I don't want to condone the consumption of awful food, McDonalds has cool lids for this. Try and get the lids that have the circle cut in the top (maybe McFlurries). If you use a balloon, it is actually better to use an old one that you have carefully deflated.
