Thank you for contacting Zero Toys!
 Joel and Alan Aronie, two brothers from
Concord, Ma, both engineers in love with physics, developed
the Zero Blaster, a perfect toy which demonstrates
the toroidal vortex, the donut shape.
Why does a ring keep its shape was the question; the
Buck Rogers guns of their childhood, the inspiriation.
What can we make that wouldn't be violent that would
still be a gun, and maybe even teach? They brainstormed
one night after work in their small shop where they
manufacture tools for the restoration of old buildings.
The Camel ad on Broadway was one of their earliest
memories. "How about smoke rings?" they said,
almost in unison. From the drawing board to the marketplace
took about two years.
Last May they traveled to China to see that the factory
workers were being treated fairly. They were impressed
with the gentleness of the people. Gentle is what the
rings look like as they float up to 14 feet across
a room. The material used is the same non-toxic vapor
that is used in theatrical productions.
They have been written up in Wired, Fortune,
Focus (Italy) and in many physics periodicals. Science teachers
all over the country are using the blaster as a teaching
tool in their classrooms. It's the perfect gift for
the kid in all of us.
