air cannon
Pressurized projectile shooter
An air cannon is a device that uses compressed air to propel objects or create a powerful burst of air.
Industrial air cannons clear blockages in silos and hoppers.
Entertainment versions shoot T-shirts into stadium crowds or produce dramatic fog rings.
Simpler homemade versions launch potatoes or other projectiles: We built an air cannon out of PVC pipe.
