Create yourself a cube that is not rendered and flagged as a trigger only. Place this cube where you want the ball to be "affected" by the air jet. In your ball gameObject, attach a script which has code similar to the following:

 function OnTriggerEnter(other:Collider)
 {
    rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.up * 20, ForceMode.Impulse);
 }

What this code says is that when the ball enters a trigger area, an instantaneous impulse force will be applied in the "up" (Y Axis) direction. I tried this out and it worked like a champ.

how can I make it so that this object can still be destroyed when the ball collides with it? in other words, is there a way to add a script like this to an object and not a trigger?
