An air vortex cannon is a device that generates and propels a doughnut-shaped vortex of air, which can be used to create a concussive wave of air or to propel small objects. The principle behind a vortex cannon relies on the creation of a rotating column of air that has lower pressure in the center compared to the surrounding air, resulting in a stable vortex that can travel over a distance.
