@steveg769, that isss soooooo coooooool, why cant i hav that at my room?!, ur awsome, hopefully u make more vids of that with like u init or some legos
@TroySundt - I didn't have a camera with me at the time, but I have done that with a few smokebombs. It was really cool! I'll have to do that again sometime and record it.
It's simply a large (30") ceiling mounted "whole house" type fan - moves around 5000 cfm. It's mounted in the center of the ceiling and the air goes out an attic vent after it goes through the fan. If I had known it was going to do this I would have used right-hand doors to put a clockwise spin on the vortex to match the spin direction of the fan blades. Just before it reaches the blades, the funnel reverses direction to match the fan.
I want to try it with a few colored smoke bombs. :P
Ok, this video is very interesting, I will try to look your others tornados, bye.

you should film it with a couple of containers of dry ice placed around the outside of the vortex 'circle'. THAT would be amazing :)

That was really cool. Been looking at you vids. Curious about Helical gears and how you made them.

The fan is sucking air from the room and blowing it out the attic vent. The original idea was to have air circulation when it's hot.
