Fire Tornado

Read the full experiment at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/fire-tornado When you picture a tornado, most of us imagine a whirling column of air poking down from the clouds. But this tornado-like effect is not limited to just the air. A fire tornado or fire whirl is just like a tornado but it's made of fire. As the heated air from the fire rises, strong air currents (often whipping through the trees) cause the air molecules to spin (often referred to as angular or rotational momentum) which shapes the flame into the shape of a tornado.

Excuse me Mr. Spangler, I'm going to do a science experiment on dry ice do you have any more experiments i could do on this topic? Thank you... But just to let you know, I also might do an experiment on something else that I'm interested in..... could you give me some advice of other science projects? I'm in 6th grade but i want a science project out of my level.... I'm more advanced than my class so i want something amazing Thank you Mr. Spangler

so when you respond to comments are the videos who is it?and so you still responde to comments

[Stevespanglerscience]

@thumper51000 there are multiple people who monitor this channel. Sometimes Steve will comment, other times one of our people from our video department will comment... In this case it's not Steve!

that water vortex is a great tool in real life! i used to work in a restaurant and we had giant sinks to wash things in and at the end of the night we had to drain them and clean them. but it took them like 30 min. to drain!!! my friend taught me to use my hand to get the molecules moving circular like that to create the tornado. needless to say it only took one minute to drain it from then on. its so fast and efficient!

he should got to science worldddd
