Q&A

Would pressure be a viable way to make a forcefield or reflective device?

I was recently learning about pressure in my high school science class. I will admit that I am not extremely well educated in the subject and thus this may be an extremely stupid question. But anyways, I was curious about if in any way one could possibly make a forcefield or at least something that could repel objects coming towards you. My idea was that if you were able to create enough pressure (via heat), so much so that it was being made even faster than it was being released, that you could repel objects. Because of the objects having a lower amount of pressure than your "forcefield" the high pressure would, in theory, go towards the low pressure and push the object away. Again this may be a very stupid question but I was curious about whether our not it could work.
