Thread: You'd have to be keen to fire one of these...

Ive seen vacume (stuffed if can spell the suckymoto word)cleaners that work off a air hose...the jet of air going into a pipe at about 30degrees creates suck in the end of pipe it is scooting past,it wasnt a huge amount of suck but more than enough to clean dust etc out of truck cab,and the particles fall out the other end of pipe onto ground...

Yep, you're on to it Micky. Basic venturi vacuum ( correct spelling ) we have small vacuum generators on our robot at work for picking up cartons.

Yep. I've fired a licorice allsort nearly 30 metres before (from an elevated position). Saw the a guy with the cannon at a kids science show. It's a big hit at birthday parties

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
