The air bazooka or airzooka, is a toy built to shoot a blast of air for a distance up to 20 ft or more. The airzooka can be made from a plastic tube and resembles a bazooka. The look and its use is where it gets its name. The airzooka is very much like a slingshot but in a different form. This redesigned slingshot doesn’t need a stockpile of ammo, either. The airzooka is never out of air. It is a practical jokers dream. It does not require any power source; it just needs a pull on an elastic air launcher.
Looking to startle someone safely, what is better than a sudden blast of air? You’ll have people and maybe animals wondering, what was that? Maybe, you just need some help blowing out all those birthday candles. Or, better yet, do you need that startling gust of air for a haunted house prop. Make that ghost show its presence or seem to when it blows past you. If you want a visual of the distance you can blast air try adding smoke to the barrel and see how far it goes. The airzooka is a miniature vortex generator, with similar effects to that made by a tornado, but smaller.
The vortex generator, now a fun hand held device, is mostly referred to when talking about airplanes and their design. The aerodynamic surface with a bump triggers a vortex that helps planes to fly. These bumps are placed on vehicles to help maintain airflow. Now this use of physics can make quite the plaything. Unlike an aircraft or other vehicle, you can make an airzooka in your own home without too much effort and with supplies found around the house. This construction can be done using any tube like shape, from a paper cup to a bucket or bigger, as long as it is tube shaped. This can be a very entertaining project that can easily be made into a great arts and crafts demonstration at a school. You can buy the Airzooka at Amazon.com
