Airzookas shoot balls of air. Is it possible to build an airzooka large enough to shoot air into space? How big would it be?
Size wouldn’t be the issue. Accellerating the air to escape velocity would be the issue.
Then there is the question of why?
Why not?
If the Airzooka works the way I think it does, it doesn’t exactly fire “balls” of air, but vortices: Sort of like smoke rings without the smoke. These depend on interactions with the surrounding air to stay together. So if you shot one into vacuum, I’d imagine that it would quickly dissipate.
And UncleRojelio, with big guns, one never need ask “why”.
Yeah, I’d also say the air would simply diffuse. You would need a different way to get a volume of air away from the atmosphere. If you really want to see airballs though, just watch some local highschool basketball games.
Because thats what men do.
You wouldn’t want an airzooka, you’d want a big-ass air pump with a hose stretching down into the atmosphere and a long ‘barrel’ of narrowing size so that the air velocity would build up towards the tip. Then the air would shoot out. It wouldn’t say in a steady stream, but spread apart due to pressure. But the molecules would keep on going until gravity pulled them back. To get them to leave forever, they’d have to be going escape velocity. Can we build an air cannon that shoots air at 25,000 mph?
