Check out this clip from BBC’s “Bang Goes the Theory.”  Host Jem Stansfield plays with a vortex cannon, and extremely powerful canon that is loaded with “one of the most dangerous gas mixes in the world.”  In the video he aims to knock down three types of huts made of straw, sticks, and eventually bricks.  Catch the ‘Three Little Pigs’ reference here anyone?  The action is filmed at 1300 frames per second; that is VERY slow.  You can actually see the ring of energy the vortex cannon emits when activated.  Stansfield’s infectious British accent and over-the-top reactions make it all the more enjoyable to watch.
