Our Vortex Cannon Project by Nathan Le https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq Made by Nathan, Cameron, Leana, and Jemia en-us 2019-05-06 18:19:43 UTC 2025-11-15 00:16:54 UTC hello@padlet.com Background Information Nate137947 https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357334580 How does our vortex cannon work? (The science of the vortex cannon). There are air molecules in the box. As you press on the sides of the box, the volume of the box decreases. Therefore, pushing the air out toward the target, knocking it down.

What does the Bernoulli's Principle have to do with this? Bernoulli's Principle states that fast air has low pressure and slow air has high pressure. This is relevant to our project because the air inside the box has high pressure and as we put pressure on the box it causes the air to go at low pressure toward the targets, knocking them down. ]]> 2019-05-06 18:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357334580 Build and Design Procedure 425601 https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357334740 Materials- a box (medium sized) and some duct tape. 
(Our vortex cannon was 48 by 42 by 32 centimeters)

Step #1 - tape the box in any holes and sides so that you get the maximum amount of air out of your cortex cannon.

Step #2 - take a cup or use tape  to draw a on the face of the box. 

Step #3 - cut out the circle you made

Step #4 - Have fun with your new vertex cannon!!!]]> 2019-05-06 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357334740 Operation and Use Procedure 425601 https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357338221 Step 1.- set up a targets to shot down (ex. paper cups, paper cards, or file folders)

Step 2.- push the sides of the box

Step 3.- look at the pyramid of light weight materials fall.]]> 2019-05-06 18:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357338221 Nate137947 https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357344339 2019-05-06 18:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357344339 451057 https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357346522 2019-05-06 18:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/Nate137947/cyshy2rs09nq/wish/357346522
