OOOOoooooh.
Constructing one IRL!

Maybe you could make it small and magnify it, and then just use a pellet gun or
a paintball marker for your air cannon.

Perhaps even shoot the air through a small hole in a mirror to hide the

You could even use a webcam or something so that you could composite the
stargate ring and the kawoosh somehow.
