diy tornado machine

[yhoefman]

What kind of light did you use?

[Ignantredneck]

dude you suck at explaining things...next time dont smoke so much dope before you make a video about your dumb machine. You sound like an idiot trying to explain something that you have no idea about and somebody else built.

[Babypunter117]

Do you remember the web site you used to make this?

[budsiskos]

@Babypunter117 actually most of the design was in my head. i used a couple ideas i saw around here on youtube to figure out the main principle but beyond that i didnt use any website

[Babypunter117]

@budsiskos ok i've been trying to make one of these so what materials did you use to make this? like the top and bottom look like they're made of wood but the glass or plexiglass? all what you did can you tell me?

[budsiskos]

@Babypunter117 its plexi glass from ace hardware. and most of it is just simple wood work. the windows slide into slots in the base that i cut with a table saw

What's causing this to rotate? Most machines have a pipe with a bunch of holes that blow air in circles as well as use the blower to suck the air up the center. I don't see the tube in yours unless it's hitten in that black part. Great work too!

[budsiskos]

i thought i explained that in the video, darn, oh well. the secret to the rotation in this version is the square layout of the plexiglass walls, the slightly underlap each other on one end so that the airflow comes in spinning

[BRUXXUS]

Okay, maybe I missed something. That's a REALLY good idea. I'm thinking about building one myself. Great work.

[budsiskos]

well i definitely recomend it. its a fun experiance and a cool piece of furniture. just be prepared to spend 70-100 dollars on it.

[BRUXXUS]

Yeah, just watched it again, I must have been really tired when I saw this the first time. Yeah you explained it perfectly. I happen to HAVE a spare, NEW bathroom fan just chillin here, great idea, and good idea on how to simplify the design. I'm going to try to mold a piece of plexi into a cylinder and have it overlaplike yours but with only one slot for the air to come in. Ill keep you posted if you care, lol. I need to find the humidifyer, thrift store shooin I will go.

[budsiskos]

yah i definitely want to know how it works out. thanks

How loud is this and how much did this project cost?

[budsiskos]

its rather quiet, about as loud as a refrigerator, the whole project cost me around $70 dollars

[strit2000]

nice creation! what were you using to make the mist? am quite interested in making one of these myself.

[budsiskos]

thanks, im using a water nebulizer from a fog fountain to make the mist
