They did this on QI with much greater effect using a smoke machine.

Slow-mo and glitter makes everything better.

They now have craft supplies herpes.

I'm sorry for the guy that had to clean that up.

Your science looks fabulous.

I want another Airzooka. I miss my old Airzookas...

You guys will still be finding glitter for the next 5 years.

Guys, smoke is used by almost everyone with one of those cannons. I've seen a kids presentation use one. I wouldn't have clicked on this if it said smoke :)

glitter isn't a bad idea, but you needed a much much brighter point source light to highlight how it orients as its dragged by the vortex. Or you could try multiple lights with gels so the color changes as the glitter is rotated.

I wish that KZfaq Science channels would do videos for people actually interested in science rather than mass appeals videos that barely touch on scientific concepts. I could have done a similar quality video with just myself blowing smoke rings past a lamp light. Now, excuse me while I go watch a video on the preparation of potassium periodate from potassium hydroxide and potassium iodate... You know, REAL science.

On a scale from one to ten, how much of a mess was the set after you were done shooting?

How fabulous

another video the slomo guys can't make anymore :D gregs expression was gold

I had one of those cannons, but I don't know what happened to it.

I feel like you guys misses a better phenomenon when you were using the glitter. and the vortex enter and passed through the glitter, it phased and the shock spread throughout the mass.

Search and you'll find Vortex Ring Weapons

Just shoot some fog from a fog machine into that thing, way easyer to see the vortex.

if you put smoke in the cannon you get a much better effect.

+Brit Lab What music was used?

Powdered Twilight DVD's - At last it looks good on screen. - Torus all the way

why didn't you just use dry ice in the canon

Why did you spell doughnut like that, *Brit* Lab? Also, shouldn't it really say torus?

You guys must have been cleaning glitter out of every part of your body for weeks.

I think a lighter material would've been better to use. Like baking powder or even finer material.

Do the video again but fill the cannon with smoke :)

Music?

what song is that?

What's the song?

First!! Or at least I think I am. Bring longer James May Videos...

your crew has asbestosis now :)

use smoke we do it loads

We get it, you vape

HD my foot

I'd rather have some Krispy Kreme Do(ugh)nuts

I fart these out all the time.

doughnut

Immediately clicked thinking this was a new Slow-Mo Guys. Instant disappointment with poor quality. And the lack of Dan and Gav.

Liked, but less spectacular than the title suggests.

Why such a gimmicky video? Surely you guys are not desperate for views. You know that a much MUCH better effect can be seen with other methods, and apparently glitter does very little to highlight the vortex. I have to conclude that using glitter was only a choice of grabbing attention, and for the subject at hand I must frown upon such gimmicks when used.
