#### Purpose and Information
This simple device uses a fire blast from a butane torch to generate an air vortex ring. Unlike a normal air blast, the vortex ring produced by this nozzle travels through air with little drag and can hit objects up to 15 feet away. Despite the way it works, this is completely safe and the brief explosion is not able to set any object on fire in front of the nozzle. Even if you put the nozzle near your skin, the blast will only singe hair. The ring itself is unfortunately not particularly powerful, a good one might be able to knock over some Styrofoam cups. The design takes inspiration from various elastic- and explosion-powered vortex ring guns from YouTube, such as Allen Pan’s repulsor.
#### How to Use
Slide the attachment over the barrel of your butane torch. Half-press the trigger for a few seconds to fill it with explosive gas, then full-press to detonate it. If the correct amount of gas is used, you'll get a moderately loud *pop* sound, a pointed fla
