@ 4:00 the video shows the Cannon System followed by a test firing of a few probes about 100' or less in the air so the probles can be drawn into a tornado to collect data. Why waste time and money building some fancy Cannon System?

How about this simple idea..Attach each of the data probes on single Helium filled Balloons. Then just release those Helium filled Balloons and watch the probes keep rising into the air and drawn into the tornado!

Us Poor Men always have better ideas LMAO

@snowgoosebob (myself)

Yous tried a Fancy Cannon System and in the past RC Planes to get probes into a tornado. Give My simple idea a try! LOL

@FrequentOmegaHeritic well well well,arent u a little cocky bastrd?

[FrequentOmegaHeritic]

Nice Reed!@snowgoosebob my dad came up with the idea of the plane and air cannon!!! so shut ur mouth! my dad works with TVN and Tim Samaris!!!! HAH HAH !

Good for you guys doing direct damage to the dominator to test it from severe impact, perhaps a some sort of density coating inbetween door layers for extra protection? dense foam would likely give nice noise cancelling as well without a lot of extra weight?

@snowgoosebob balloons will pop from the high winds hail and debris

[MeanStreet1981]

@snowgoosebob Also, Reed and the crew can launch the parachutes directly into the tornado with the cannons, you can't do that with ballons. Not only will the ballons pop under the enormous amount of pressure, you take a risk of the ballons being popped by debris.

[MeanStreet1981]

@snowgoosebob That sounds good and all but the problem with the wind still remains. You would still have to release those ballons at the perfect moment to catch the inflow, if you do not catch the inflow your ballon will be pounded into the ground.

hey morons, here's a thought. what happens if that nice 2 by 4 hits the window? doesn't matter if the rhino lining works if the 2 by 4 hits the window instead. might wana test that yourself before nature does it for you

[grg7l]

Reed keep up the good work the things that you guys are doing out there are very helpful and it's keeping us safe. I salute you and if I see something in the part of Kansas where I'm at best believe you will know about it if your not here.

@snowgoosebob

Poor men seem not to think before they write...

the probes need to be shot in the tornado, a balloon will either pop or swept away to nowhere
