Figure | Air cannons and electromagnetic cannons.

Caption

Air cannons produce visible vortex rings by generating rotating air pressure differences, while electromagnetic cannons emit electromagnetic vortex pulses using coaxial horn antennas. The electromagnetic system also demonstrates self- resilience properties and skyrmion topology, offering unique potential in high-capacity communication, target detection, and data encoding due to their complex wave dynamics and topological features.
