The boomstick version has the most force, but the garbage can version is an easier build, and with a small hole for a small, focused vortex... you may have _some_ hope.

After seeing those shots of the cannon shooting at the camera. Now I know how they did special effects back in the original Star Trek eposides.

With those "shots" into the camera, it's almost like some sort of space-age explosion/pulse or something!
