Tornado Machine

This is a science fair project that I did for one year. This machine helped to show the look and formation of tornados. My project got me all the way to the Canadian science fair were the best and brightest of all Canada were competing. Needless to say I didn't do as good their as everywhere else.

[Johnny5isthebest]

@lickanegg Ya I know. I have redone the description which I know was horrible. But in my defense I did upload this video while at nationals and surrounded by hundreds of other people that are constantly asking you questions.

I like your machine. gonna go right to it "Johnny5isthe best" I want to know what did U use to hold the Plexiglas glass sheets to the base and have the liberty to create the slid to ur like for the air to move inside the machine?.

[Johnny5isthebest]

ok, the plexi glass is held in place by foam pipe insulators that you can find at home depot or any hardware store. They are just hollow foam tubes with slits on one side to slide over a pipe. I just alined them then just put screws with big washers throw them to hold them in place. The glass just slides in between the top and bottom. You just have to measure really carefully to make the top and bottom perfect mirror images of each other or it will not look or work right.
