Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the Candle Cannon was created.

Previously Erbert & Gerbert made a Human Flipbook using 150 t-shirts.

In 1987, Survival Resarch Labs built a shockwave vortex cannon powered by a propyline/oxygen explosion. The device was powerful enough to break windows several hundred feet away.

True, SRL’s shockwave cannon could probably eat this guy for lunch. I think they should challenge each other to a duel.
