Summary

  • In nature, tornadoes are powerful and often very destructive, but this Build uses their underlying physics to create a fascinating spectacle.
  • The build, inspired by existing tornado machines, creates a visible vortex of air using a fan and a mist generator.
  • While the vortex is not a tornado, it does give a good representation of the airflow, which can be fascinating and helpful for study.
  • Additionally, the vortex itself can be aesthetically interesting, and could be used as a design feature in its own right in future builds.
  • If this interests you, try building your own version, or browse hackaday.com for further inspiration.
