Airzooka

Blast 'em with air!

You've heard of air guitar and air kisses; well now prepare yourself for the astonishingly entertaining Airzooka. Physics really isn't our strong point, but for some unfathomable scientific reason this amazing fun gun is capable of blasting a 'ball' of air at unsuspecting victims up to 20 ft away! No, we don't really understand how either, but believe us, Airzooka is a total blast.

All you have to do is pull back the elasticated rear section and release it catapult-style. Airzooka then propels a powerful pocket of air straight at your intended target. It's a bit like having an invisible pair of mega-powerful bellows. With its walloping phantom blasts, Airzooka is ideal for convincing workmates there's a poltergeist in town, or simply confusing them to the point of insanity. They really won't know what's hit them!

You can also have immeasurable fun ruffling a vain colleague's hair, furtively blowing his/her paperwork all over the place, or indulging in a little target practice with a few paper cups. So what if Airzooka resembles something that Dick Dastardly might use to bark orders at his Vulture Squadron. The point is, this colourful cartoon-esque contraption is brilliantly simple, never runs out of ammo and brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'air gun.' Put simply, Airzooka will blow you away!

It's not exactly rocket surgery...

How Airzooka works

The Airzooka is what physicists call a 'vortex generator'. A vortex is a body of air or water that is swirling around itself. Tornadoes, smoke rings, and whirlpools are good examples.

When air is forced out of the front of the Airzooka air gun, some air hits the edges of the hole and slows down. This slower air is then pulled forward by the faster moving air in the center and starts swirling around itself in a ring.

The vortex can travel a long distance before breaking up, and you can actually feel a strong blast of air when it hits you! Vortex concepts were originally discovered and written about by Viktor Schauberger, in the context of boring science stuff, but it took the genius of some guy called Brian Jordan to see the real potential of utilising this phenomenon to create this fantastic toy. Three cheers for Brian!

Myself and my friend Dave who I made the film with were media students at one time. We've both been graduated a year or so and now work for a small video company in our home town of Hull. We spend a lot of time making corporate videos which was why it was so much fun to create something less then serious and get creative.

press review "The workplace is stressful for many. Lighten it up by creating some mischief with the Airzooka. It's a fun gun capable of blasting a 'ball' of air at unsuspecting colleagues!"
Health & Fitness Magazine - Oct '03
press review The physics of this device—involving the Bernoulli effect, toroidal vortices, and other such phenomena—is so intriguing that teachers may be using the AirZooka for their classroom demonstrations. But the wacky pleasure of shooting air balls requires, fortunately, no advanced degree.

visitor avatar Aside from the assembly aspect of the Airzooka, which had me (sort of) cursing the makers for not making it complete in the box, this is a really fun product. It has quite a surprising range, after I tested it in my garden on a windless day. My garden is about 15 meters long, and this reached the other side (inaccurately, I must add) in a few seconds, signalled by the rustling of a plant. Madness, I tell you! MADNESS!

visitor avatar I watched the video ODDZOOKA which was funny but where did you get the oddball I want one sooooooooo badly.

visitor avatar These are amazing. I have a smoke machine and me and my brother sprayed smoke into the Airzooka and fired it and it made smoke rings. It's such a cool toy.

visitor avatar I have much enjoyed ruffling a few hair styles (and the range gives me plenty of time to run away).
Adam Vertigan, Fakenham Norfolk - 29th May 2008
visitor avatar These are really cool, its suprising how far it travels ! Can have lots of fun shooting things .... Only downside is the bang it makes every time u do it (would be good if it was silent so people didnt know you were firing at them)... Good product though - recommend for kids and adults who act like kids :).
