This is a really awesome project. I love that it also doubles as a visually fun, cool mist humidifier. I’m definitely saving this one to build when my kids are old enough to appreciate this type of project.
I've used a number of your builds to produce practical effects for film and video productions. Just wanted to say thanks - your work never fails to inspire.
The biggest one is getting scored right now - I'll send it your way once they release it. Have you ever thought of doing a meetup? I'm fairly confident we live near each other, and I can think of a couple of guys who would love to spend a weekend learning and building something cool.
Cool, I'll look forward to it. I haven't thought about doing a fan meetup, mostly because I don't particularly like the idea of my address being public knowledge.
This was AMAAAAAZING! I’m going to do this for my five-year-old, who is hyper fixated on tornadoes and absolutely loves the tornado machine at the museum in our city, but it would be so incredible to have one at home!!
You rock dude. I have wanted one of these things since I was a kid in the 90s. Yours is the best one ive sewn that isnt in a Mueseum or something. Yours will be the one I finally use. I just never had a nice dad to help teach me things like this. But you describe things perfectly and I think with your video I will finally have my tornado one day. Thank you. Great video and great presentation
excellent video, and great project! always loved tornado machines. I really like it using those ultrasonic foggers, because using a regular fog machine with those presents so many problems which are pretty much all fixed by using water vapour instead.
This Tutorial was a lot of help for my 6th grade science fare. I like what materials you used bot instead of PVC board we used wood. Thanks for explaining everything it helped a lot.
Omg I got saved! I need this to make a project for my science fair! I was really wanting to make something that had to do with weather and I was able to find this vid!
I am in the process of moving from San Jose Ca to Mesa Az and looking at buying several humidifiers this seems like a much cooler alternative thank you for the inspiration and keep up the great work!
Cool project! Hopefully one day I'll get space, time and money to do projects like this one. I've always been willing to do some of your creations but I just can't do them right now. But once I've done something, I'll share it with you!
I really don't get why you have so few patrons… Unfortunately, I'm still in school and don't really have any money for things like this right now, but I've shared your videos with a few friends and they all really enjoy them. Thank you for providing such high quality and super interesting videos! Apart from that, you seem like a really nice guy ;)
He appeals to students, scientists, teachers, and young (middle school to early college) engineers - all people who traditionally make very little to no money. Edit: It appears Patreon takes a 10% cut. Well, that sucks for both him and the supporters.
Thanks! this video is what inspired me to build a tornado machine in the first place. except my tornado machine is well... made from a cardboard box and is really cheap, but the results are worth it. Thanks for the idea! 👍😁
You could make this even more awesome by adding a water tornado underneath. Just get a fountain pump, a couple of buckets and a clear pvc cylinder. I Don't know how well the vaporizers would work with it, but it might, and be awesome. Great project though, the laser really brings out the awesomeness of it.
I wish i could help but i cant even pay my rent at the moment. I agree you should put something up after the intro, just a quick mention about your patreon than a longer explanation at the end.
I have the same problem. LOL I've helped countless people over the years with all my DIY repair videos(saved them lots of money), electronics videos, and much more. Hard to figure.
You would think so but I'm not sure. The cool thing about these inline duct fans is that they use an impeller which outputs air at a much higher pressure than normal fan blades. I don't know if a PC fan would be able to force air down into the legs.
@@Pengquy I went great! But my verson had a plastic tube, I cut slides at each end and had a fan at the top for an updraft. and at the bottom there was ultrasonic mist makers. When I first tryed it I COULDEN'T BELEVE MY EYES! this is a great video please do this!!
Awesome project. It would be really cool to shoot smoke rings at and near the tornado with your vortex cannon to see the interaction between the two. Watching the tornado destabilize and restabilize plus watching the smoke rings get drawn into the tornado may be quite interesting.
That's an interesting design. As far as I'm aware, the tornado machines in science museums only use one fan. My design has two fans, one in the top and one in the side. In my machine the bottom box is pressurized by a high air flow computer fan which then leads the air pressure through four pipes. The cords for the top box assembly run through one of the pipes, giving the machine a "wireless" look. Obviously your design is way less expensive, but you could definitely run the fan for cheaper. I'm getting away with a ten inch box fan that's being run through a dimmer, though I don't have to worry about the pipes being pressurized by that box fan. Overall you've made a very nice and simple design, and it looks professional.
Yeah I should have specified. It's easy to make a tornado machine with only one fan if it's the kind where you fully box it in with glass walls and slits in the side let air in at an angle. That's the kind that I've seen most often in museums. I haven't seen any others that only use one fan and let you reach in and touch the tornado though. Usually this sort of design has at least two fans as yours does, or even one for each leg. Not that there's anything wrong with that at all, I just wanted to try something unique.
I've been considering building a tornado machine for a while. Many of the designs I have seen use dry ice or liquid nitrogen or CO2 to produce the cloud. That was a turn off for me because it requires I keep a source of dry ice or liquid nitrogen on hand in order to run it. As alternatives I considered using propylene glycol (a fog machine) to generate the cloud. One day I was experimenting with an ultrasonic transducer from a water fountain and it seemed like it might be a good way to go as there is always a supply of water and, its non toxic and can also act as a humidifier. Seeing your video confirms that the ultrasonic transdueer idea works. I am going to experiment with different designs, small & large and see if I can duplicate similar results.
its cool bro , i make a mini tornado machine but your jab is def rent for me , so good jab bro , you have a nice mind , tanks for your video & thats very nice yea
Wonderful project on a budget. It looks great and very professional as well. Also, at the end I noticed you have very interesting two tone eyes. Anyways, love your projects. Keep on making these wonderful things.
I just love this!! It would really push my building abilities but I'm going to be looking for someone to help me and who knows, I may just attempt it myself. . Thank you so much!!
If i wasn't such a klutz with tools and had the funds to do so i would certainly try something like this i could certainly think of good creative photos to use with this
I'd love a part list in the description. It's nice to not have to go back through the video to find the spot where you say, for example, the diameter of the PVC.
very cool for parties and the way the laser dissects a section showing all the spinning details like you see on the weather channels lol,,if you can get the lighting and the tornado to respond match to sound by music would be awesome
I think You tube hurts you views because I for one never see your notification but I always check to see if you have new videos. You have over 1 million subs but your videos are looked at way less I think is crap because you are one of the best content creators in here
Yeah a big part of that is that I don't post videos often enough. I make them as quickly as I can but they just take too long for UA-cam's standards. Email updates still usually work, so you can click the bell next to the subscribe button and make it so you get an email whenever I post a video.
That's really impressive. No glass panels on the sides needed!
Hi
TAOFLEDERMAUS I
The last bit using laser to show the cross section was amazing.
This is a really awesome project. I love that it also doubles as a visually fun, cool mist humidifier. I’m definitely saving this one to build when my kids are old enough to appreciate this type of project.
I've used a number of your builds to produce practical effects for film and video productions. Just wanted to say thanks - your work never fails to inspire.
Like what? I'd be really interested to see some of your work with that stuff!
The biggest one is getting scored right now - I'll send it your way once they release it.
Have you ever thought of doing a meetup? I'm fairly confident we live near each other, and I can think of a couple of guys who would love to spend a weekend learning and building something cool.
Cool, I'll look forward to it. I haven't thought about doing a fan meetup, mostly because I don't particularly like the idea of my address being public knowledge.
I've seen a similar machine. But this one is a more polished and a better tutorial. Thanks.
I like how you lit a slice of the vortex, and that simulates a satellite view of a hurricane.
Exactly!
This was AMAAAAAZING! I’m going to do this for my five-year-old, who is hyper fixated on tornadoes and absolutely loves the tornado machine at the museum in our city, but it would be so incredible to have one at home!!
I am going to ask my engineering teacher if he would be interested in building this with me. Great video always love to watch them!
make sure you dont stay there overnight unless your parents know him personally
You rock dude. I have wanted one of these things since I was a kid in the 90s. Yours is the best one ive sewn that isnt in a Mueseum or something. Yours will be the one I finally use. I just never had a nice dad to help teach me things like this. But you describe things perfectly and I think with your video I will finally have my tornado one day. Thank you. Great video and great presentation
I thought I'd seen all of your videos. That's OK. I just watched it. I can tell you used your knowledge to make it the best tornado ever!
Nighthawk always comes to the rescue.
I've been thinking of making one of these, and now I have an idea for a design of a smaller one of these.
excellent video, and great project! always loved tornado machines. I really like it using those ultrasonic foggers, because using a regular fog machine with those presents so many problems which are pretty much all fixed by using water vapour instead.
I agree, I really like the ultrasonic foggers. I was pretty excited when I discovered they existed. Lots of uses for them.
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday! Great job with the mandolin. You're a genius!

I use to watch your videos a ton a couple of years ago, never knew what you looked like and I gotta say, you look like a CEO of a company.
You should promote your Patreon more. You deserve a lot more
I really don't get why you have so few patrons…
Unfortunately, I'm still in school and don't really have any money for things like this right now, but I've shared your videos with a few friends and they all really enjoy them.

holy crap! you only have 38 patreons!? wtf
Wish I knew what I was doing wrong there myself.
Start to annonce it every time in the beginning of the video?

i will become one
I have the same problem. LOL I've helped countless people over the years with all my DIY repair videos(saved them lots of money), electronics videos, and much more. Hard to figure.
I've been waiting for this
Alrighty then.. I'm gathering all the supplies tomorrow to build one. Thanks and good Job!
good guy NightHawkInLight
video is more than 10 mins
only one ads
Really great design
I guess this would scale down really well using a high volume 12 volt PC fan and small buckets?
Great project, thanks for sharing.

This is pretty cool, if I had more money I would try it.
cool project, well built & explained.
This was a really cool build! i really love the effect of the laser!
Dude I'm building this! Thank you so much!
Well, how did it go?

@@milespeterson5049 wow! I got 4 small humidifiers for like atleast 6 or 7 dollars but I couldn’t find an up lift fan.

Very nicely done beautiful and a very defined core ❤
very very cool! i work as a cooling machine repair, install, etc. guy and if i get my hands on that kind of fan, i will build this
Let me know if you do!
i will :)

THANK YOU I made this my 8th grade meteorology project and I got an A thank you soooo much
damn lucky, and u get a cool decoration
great job and very well edited and narrated. i enjoyed watching :)
Great video! Enjoyed the more in depth and lengthy video
its cool bro , i make a mini tornado machine but your jab is def rent for me , so good jab bro , you have a nice mind , tanks for your video & thats very nice yea
It's amazing what you create in every single video!
Amazing work! Thanks for linking the ultrasonic foggers!
I've been wanting to build one of these for so long. Thanks

I've been with you since 100k and it so cool to see how much this has grown
I just love this!! It would really push my building abilities but I'm going to be looking for someone to help me and who knows, I may just attempt it myself. . Thank you so much!!
excellent work dude.
Wow just subbed. You should be the most popular channel on youTube
Nice job man
Awesome video. I'd love to make a smaller scale version of this, maybe with a PC fan like somebody else suggested.
cody was right. your awesome!
Hi, Coming from Bones S7: EP5 "The Twist in the Twister" i was looking for a DIY Project and voilà' found yours. Thank you, it was very Helpful.
That’s my favorite episode of the show
Very Cool. and thanks for listing the links to the materials.
Expert skills!
coolest humidifier ever
Exceptional work sir. I'm a proud to have subscribed to this channel.
I am planning on making one of those very cool
wow so amazing. I totally have to make one of these. great job
great video !
If i wasn't such a klutz with tools and had the funds to do so i would certainly try something like this i could certainly think of good creative photos to use with this
it helped me understand how they work
That was really cool
Thank you for such awesome projects my friend. You are a well full of knowledge just waiting to be poured over the world 🙏🏻
It's ok night

@@MrMisterChiliPepper88It's a joke
Wow! Thank you for making these videos! I will make this!
Very nice! I built a 6 footer using a design from the Tornado Project Online.
Nice machine!
I want one! I want a desktop sized one even more. Patreon'd :D
Thanks it's awesome very good idea
I've gotta make one of these! Thank you for sharing, and excellent job! Cheers :)

Very good instruction video, to the point, continue the good work.
with a few relatively minor changes/additions you could adapt that into a wicked & entertaining air conditioner for some parts a the country.
Awesome! Was hoping you'd post this video soon!

Mm
You really should make Small videos in between to keep up with the youtube watch time and all.
maybe progress videos like the one you did for this video
I guess you already know this but still. I just feel you should get more exposure
ive watched two of your videos and am already in love. awesome
+MaDeLapHnT Thanks!
This is really cool. Glad you made the video!
This was so cool! I want to make one!
This is awesome
Thank you very much bro for explain construct the tornado machine,its my child dream o dude its beautiful
That is awesome. I so want to make one of these
Great video like always!
I love this and I'll be building one with a hope of a 6 foot tall spiral! I have larger shop fan for fume extraction.
Man that is so awesome! !!! Keep up the good work.
love your experiments bro and also you sort of look like Will Wheaton
That can be cool for architecture for in homes
great work! it was worth the efford! you machine looks amazing!
Great video
its so sick
I am on it! I am science teacher and will build for the student and will let you know how it turns out.
Awesome!
your an awesome teacher :3 if i were your student that is
How'd it turn out?
