We’re taking the idea of knocking over milk bottles with a ball on its head in this O Wow Moment episode from the Children’s Museum of Houston! We build ourselves a torus cannon – it is an air cannon that shoots blasts of air and forms rings of air. The air rings are called a torus (hence, “torus cannon). Don’t believe they are air rings? Well, I’ll prove it to you in this video.
You can buy versions of these cannons in some toy stores for about $10, but for under $5, I’ll show you how to build your own with a few materials you can pick up in your local hardware store! Have fun blasting everything with air rings!
And a special thanks to our friends at Regions Bank for sponsoring O Wow Moments with Mr. O!
