Vortex Cannon vs Drone

Mark Rober's team built a giant vortex cannon that destroyed a drone. They also tested other DIY drone defenses like a Tesla coil goo gun and a dart turret.

• 💥 The vortex cannon fired a blast of air that disintegrated the drone on impact.
• ⚡ A Tesla coil shot electrically conductive goo at a drone, eventually frying it.
• 🎯 Mark Rober's turret fired darts, but it took multiple shots to take down its target drone.
• 💨 One competitor used a fog machine and special effects to obscure his drone's approach.
• 🤖 Another competitor built an autonomous drone that hunted and smashed into the target drone.
