You can also make one of out a 5 gallon bucket and some plastic if you want more volume, the issue would be actuating it.

Re: Do you think air currents will be an issue?

We did some brief tests with fans pointed up to see if it would deflect a frisbee. Our conclusion was that it was not a viable means of defense. The discs are pretty dense and are moving fairly quickly.

Re: Do you think air currents will be an issue?

We did some tests with a leafblower and came to the conclusion that:
  1. The narrow beam makes defense with a leafblower impractical
  2. The leafblower may end up deflecting desks up into the goal making defense counterproductive
