This is legit. It can and does work this way. The problem is that his "houses" are less structurally sound than a garden shed and the vortex dissipates into the air much to quickly to really be effective at long range. However, if the distance were halved, I presume the cannon could do a dangerous amount of damage, especially towards animals or people.

The only part of the brick house that was actually knocked down was the top, the weakest part of the structure (note this at 2:12). Notice also that the vortex only shook the bottom and sides of the brick "house"-- it was either not strong enough to knock it all down, or it was concentrated in the wrong area. Nonetheless, considering the speed and force of the blast, I don't doubt that it could do some damage to the side of my house. Not much, but enough to piss me off.

BabakoSen he pushed over bricks with just gas/air from quite a distance, its not about it being powerful in an overall sense but its powerful in the fact just purely gas/air pushed over bricks from far away. cannons with cannonballs exist and have for a very long time and are much more practical, this is simply just a cool demonstration.

Heh, it's pretty impressive that they can make a blast of air that strong for that distance with such a relatively small device. Even if the bricks aren't cemented together, it takes a reasonable force to knock them over. Especially considering they were just using air from such a long distance.

@@THESLlCK You're saying a massive compression of air capable of exerting pounds of force from a hundred feet away isn't impressive solely because more forceful compression exists elsewhere. That's what you're saying?

Really neatly done! Though I imagine that the Vortex Cannon wouldn't have been able to knock down the bricks if the brick house had four walls and a complete roof like the straw and stick houses did. Fairly easy to knock over just a wall that isn't otherwise anchored by anything.
