Those are so cool, I remember making one in intermediate school many years ago. Not quite as powerful as it was basically a drum that you hit manually. Results were very surprising as the vortex travelled alot further than you'd expect.

Bloody stupid how he acts surprised that the bricks fell down when they are just loosely stacked.

The German Army experimented with then in WW2 as an anti aircraft defense

Bloody stupid how he acts surprised that the bricks fell down when they are just loosely stacked.All of those bits could have been knocked over by a gnats' fart.

I was quite surprised how focussed it was though.

I think a spud gun would be a lot more bang for the buck.

Pah! I saw that kind of action for two weeks while I had a stomach bug...it may sort out straw, wood and bricks, but smooth porcelin with proper hydrodynamic curvature is too much for vortex action.

Although I do like to think how excited the bloke would have been filming my vortex action :moon:
