Physics: Vortex air ring shooter?
Using air only & a PUSH or a PULL with a 32 GALLON bin how do i make a vortex ring that
travels Furthest?

- Whats better than a regular plastic trash Bag?

- Use a bungee cord?

- How big does the hole in the 32 Gallon Bin have to be in order to shoot reach furthest?


Here are some videos, but it doesn't seem to go that far:





PLEASE HELP!

Why don't you consider the characteristics of the trash bag - why is it good and how could it be improved?

Perhaps you can use this approach with each item and test your conclusions?
