Der Begriff Kanon (m., Plural Kanones, v. lat.: canon Norm, Regel, aus griech.: kanon Richtschnur, Regel, Messstab; v. arab.: qanah Rohr) bezeichnet
A cannon is a modern day rifled machine gun with a calibre of 20 mm or more (see autocannon). "Cannon" derives from the Latin canna (a tube). Cannon fire is an audio experiment that produces a series of crackles and bangs like gunfire. The noises are produced by hydrogen peroxide and potassium manganate(VII) reacting to produce oxygen. These increase with the rate of burning of the ethanol. Wear eye protection / full face shield. Avoid inhaling. Be aware of the pale blue / invisible flame. Kuan Yin is the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara of compassion as venerated by East Asian Buddhists. The name Kuan Yin is short for Kuan Shih Yin which means "Observing the Sounds of the World". In Japanese, Kuan Yin is called Kannon or more formally Kanzeon. With eleven heads gazing to the front and sides, Avalokiteshvara possesses the unique gift to see everywhere at once and reach out to the needy. |
