The world's largest and most powerful air vortex cannon.
The site has a video of the cannon blowing out candles from 180 feet away! There's also a behind the scenes video that shows how it was made.

the Pizza Machine in Springfield, Illinois has a 6 foot long by 3 foot diameter airzookavortexblower that you can play with inside the restaruant. It looks neat under the smart scan lights and laser in the restaruant. oh, they have 60 inch pizza too. Those guys need to send in makezine submissions... they are way cool
