    Vicky, you are one brilliant lady I've always wanted to make one of this, it absolutely neat, but also for my little 5 years old fascinated by tornadic forces this is one great demonstrator, and I will make one for our vegetable garden, thx for sharing

    Great video, learnt something. You could improve your intonation though. It sounded like you were trying to sell me something on As Seen On TV!

      @markpanko7116 7 років тому +1

      You shouldn't comment on anyone's intonation when you seem to have a bigger problem with spelling. Didn't you notice the red flag when you typed "learnt"? That's not even a word.

      @iwanttwoscoops 7 років тому +6

      Mark Panko you shouldn't comment on anyone's spelling when you seem to have an even bigger problem with ignorance. Didn't you notice the LACK of a red flag when you typed "learnt"?
      seriously though, learnt IS a valid word in British English.

      @kubectlgetpo 7 років тому +6

      Chill dude. I was making a friendly light hearted comment. BTW, here you go: en.oxforddictionaries.com/usage/learnt-vs-learned
      Learnt is a proper word in part of the world where I was educated.

    wait--so the reservoir underneath has to hold the water capacity of the vortex container PLUS how much water to keep the pumps primed and working ? when you shut if off, the water drains back into the lower container ?

  • @LincolnsCreationsandRentals

    None of the links appear to work anymore and I am very interested, but I would need better descriptions of the materials list, such as size of cylinder and pump capabilities.

    I really enjoyed this "DIY" video. You give exact ... detailed... supply list at the beginning, then very clear, easy to understand and follow directions. No surprises. Thank you for the tip on drilling a hole in glass. (some people assume everyone has done this .... well not all of us have ... then you have to go to another video to figure out why your glass shattered!) Thank you.

      Pity that the only thing you focused on was the water quality. IMO it is probably the best vid I have seen so far on "how to" make the vortex waterfalls. Thank you Vicki, would you be able to give the GPH of the pumps you used?

    • @OnTheFlyDIY

Just be a bit more conversational when speaking, as if you were talking to a good friend over the phone. I hope to see many more projects from you. Have a good Day and a great life!

    I made a vortex force reactor from a Zen water filter that does not take nearly as much work. The design of the water filter is already set up for building a vortex. All I did was put a 82 gallon per hour fish tank pump in the bottom of the filter and run the hose through the hole where the water is supposed to come out. I ran the plug for the filter up through the middle section and made a hole for the plug. The next step is to get it to produce more electricity than it uses by tapping the explosion of water that flows from the bottom of the vortex. I have filed for a patent on the device and am reworking the claims for final approval. To see the project please visit vortex.energy
