GoPro: Fire Vortex Cannon with the Backyard Scientist

Kevin Kohler, the Backyard Scientist, shows you how you can apply the physics behind an air vortex cannon to make one 10 times bigger. Then, to make things really exciting, he adds some fire to the mix.

[@TheBackyardScientist]

Wohoo so stoked GoPro posted my video! So.. if some kid sets the family cat on fire with this i'm in the clear? ;)

[@DevourMitchell]

no.

[@LowLightVideos]

Leap through the Propane / Smoke Ring with a Sparkler in your mouth at dusk. Obviously you leap in the *_opposite_* direction that the Ring is traveling.

[@DevourMitchell]

***** science.

[@Wetkeazle]

You deserve it. It was bad-ass! I know a vortex cannon but the fireballs were an added bonus. Congrats.

[@trychaseme]

Night shot with the fire would have been awesome :)

[@titorocha8992]

We get it you vape

[@James-rg1pp]

Damn you beat me to it

[@sebmaster36]

+Holden Strickland-Amico you beat me to that as well lol

[@Wetkeazle]

And you even beat me to that. Oh my, this thread could get long.

[@moose5582]

For one, this comment is stupid, and for two, it makes almost no sense, for three, I know it my opinion, maybe I want to share it.

[@Owen-ri9mq]

Wetkeazle !0

[@tateadams4382]

Honestly I saw this in my subscription feed and thought it was one of his videos.

[@Daveluvutube]

Same

[@themrjones]

me too

[@n8guy]

Yeah, I was confused there for a minute.

[@emanuelrivera94]

It's not even in his channel

[@giovanni9292]

GoPro needs to get into the regular handheld camera game and start competing against the Sonys and Cannons that all these youtubers use on a regular basis. You already own the action camera market. Now expand.

[@paulleimer1218]

Those would be tough to compete with in that market

[@KingOfSpadess]

Where's the Hawaiian shirt?! Clearly a fake.

[@grabben9062]

these are my favorite gopro videos when they make something instead of doing something!

[@nickdoeseverything431]

No way haha I love this guy. I subbed to his channel a while back. He's got some good content

[@TheBackyardScientist]

thanks!

[@nickdoeseverything431]

***** Hey thanks for replying to my comment! Love your content!

[@leonard3979]

my kids are going to love this...thanks for sharing.

[@iunnox666]

I like how you fired up that torch right next to the propane cylinder like that.

[@GEARGAMES0]

that chick was like, wtf im doing with my life right now

[@fr33th3sn4rk]

Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony, then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked.

[@cesardelatorre6303]

LMFAO!!😂😂🤣🤣😭😭

[@05wishful]

this is my faveoriye one yet

[@tonyrosam]

toroid geometry creates systems that have low amounts of entropy, thus the smoke stays in its shape longer than expected. The shape is extremely effective for many new technologies, including fusion reactor test beds.

[@TheodoreGimeno]

Oh my this is freakin awesome and so inspirational content for small creators like myself :)

[@TheBackyardScientist]

rock on!

[@chrustables9746]

+TheBackyardScientist what if you put a small smoke bomb inside the cannon instead of using a fog machine? I think that would look sick

[@Something2LookAt]

Totally off topic, but I wonder if they sent GoPro a gold play button?

[@bardhi0105]

wellthe should've

[@seededsoul]

Something 2LookAt What do you need for that? 1 mil subscribers?

[@mattbowman3641]

that looked cool as!

[@josephstone7528]

1:39 SO SATISFYING!!! 😱

[@Photosystem1]

You could have done this with any camera... but still, so cool!

[@dsty292]

Yeah Backyard Scientist!

[@alaschgari]

That's amazing

[@juanedoses8715]

a carne asada burrito and a match ,,, is all a real man needs.

[@robertpatten9755]

Is there anything that you could use to produce the fire vortex with a more sustained flame than propane? I think that might make for a cooler effect to watch!

[@VinceTheCreatorr]

I know what to build for my little brother's science project now.

[@burgholte]

'This is why you don't buy cheap tools' Clever advertisement I must say

[@MrFelixProductionz]

#TeamValor 's way to get to the top

[@clarkharris1364]

This is insane

[@TheWilkesBros]

Damn that's cool

[@CharlesPeck429]

"what if it was bigger" my favorite question.

[@lauraclark8407]

The great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn is coming up 😃

[@parkiel54]

0.26 Playing the Fleeca job in GTA BE LIKE...

[@charleswanous]

I have the plastic small cannon and it's supposed to blow air out on you and be like a blast of fresh air

[@HorribleSonofa]

Good fun for when the neighbors are grilling.

[@martinhagenbruch286]

Thumbnail looks way cooler than the actual vid -.-

[@TheRealPlato]

i expected loading with e-cig vapor most e-cig juice contains propylene glycol; I think your fog machine juice is pure propylene glycol

[@volodymyrberezhanskyy9111]

awesome !!

[@MissJessicaShuler]

i have to try this

[@sarahj.5440]

Try mixing oxygen & propane or oxygen & acetylene into the vortex cannon and aim at an open flame.

[@DazeDream]

My mom said no....

[@yoblazes]

dammit mom, you never let me do anything fun!

[@DailyFoodie]

Cool! 👍🏼

[@LowLightVideos]

KEVIN! Where's the Garbage Can?

[@lordoshaha]

Who are you? Kevin Kolher or Kevin Kohler, because in the video says Kolher in description says Kohler

[@JeanFull07]

Top Man!

[@kaniehtisare4653]

i wonddr if they use this technology plus fire extinguishers to combat fires??? any firefighters out there have anything to share????

[@haloreachmw2]

Keep this comment at an even amount of likes

[@regi5058]

Is zero even

[@moritzschernus8281]

i think so

[@jplata558]

+Juuzou Suzuya it's neutral

[@TheBackyardScientist]

Don't tell me how to live my life!

[@jplata558]

+TheBackyardScientist what

[@mariorijo_]

nice!👏👍

[@kent....]

better use some vape stuff for the good rings

[@geraldcrusenberry4247]

Do a Mary Poppins kite test

[@jenniferjohnston5861]

2words to describe you awesome fire

[@kaeosfactory]

Thats a damn Hadoken.. LOL

[@FettHuhn]

ring of fire :)

[@cleantoast3]

Is this also why cannons sometimes make a smoke ring?

[@SecretAgentMan00]

The larger cannon is not even close to 10 times the volume of the smaller cannon. The volume of a cylinder is πhr^2, calculate it and see.

[@PLAYERSLAYER_22]

it was an exaggeration, he said "like 10 times"

[@shivpalpatine]

Radius is like 2-3 times larger (lets say 2) Length (h) is like 2-3 times larger (lets say 2.5) 2^2*2.5 = 10

[@esmondchen4569]

nice

[@alan2here]

fire at distant smoker :)

[@ketmax2805]

woah! funny clouds here eh?

[@SkeetRadar]

did anyone else think that the propane ring exploding was funny?

[@FutureWorldNow]

canon game tight, bro.

[@EzequielBaltazar]

would it light with a cigarrete 6 meters away?

[@myrobloxlife0780]

cool

[@zenokaufmann9728]

How it looks at the night?

[@SmartAutoDetailing]

How do you do the video selection thing at 2:15

[@BBROPHOTO]

It's in the channel settings under where annotations used to be. I know this comment is 10 months old, but just incase you're still wondering. KZbin got rid of annotations and replaced it with those slides.

[@malcolmtyler1622]

It really annoys me, he didn't attach the drum at the center of gravity.

Sounds like something everyone would care to do.

I wish i can do stuff like this with my life instead of someone who doesnt do anything ,and is a dissapointment to my parents.

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]
