0.15 SECONDS OF FAME

Here, finally is a clip from two summers ago that appeared on the History Channel’s Weird Weapons of WWII. It was part of a segment with Mark Pauline from SRL demonstrating the “shockwave cannon” on myself and two of my good friends. It’s a powerful column of air that hits you with a fair amount of force, and while it doesn’t do much damage to humans, it was demonstrated to be a serious threat to panes of glass, trees, and trash cans. It’s actually quite a fascinating technology that the Nazi’s tried to implement in WWII. It never really quite worked, but the concept is interesting.
