Fire tornadoes are dangerous in real life, but what causes them? Today were going to create a small scale fire tornado and explain what needs to occur for a fire tornado to form. As warm air from the flame rises, Strong currents of wind whirl through the trees(In our case metal screen) and cause the fire to spin. Which in turn creates the fire tornado/vortex.

  • thumps up if all who tried this in their home and ignored the warn9ng

  • @troymvmoneyman lol fail by him, its called a lazy suzan not a dirty suzan...

  • It's spongebob with his abrasive side!!! :D

  • You could also place the plate with the sponges on an old record player and then you wouldnt have to have those "skips" when you had to respin it.

  • Make sure You Wash Your Hands With Lighter Fluid Before Lighting The Sponges

  • you can actually replace the fire with smoke or dry ice and make a safer smoke tornado

  • You had me at fire.

  • LOL ITS LAZY SUSAN!

  • would love to build this concept into a backyard firepit tornado.

  • You should have seen the look on the ladys face at walmart when I asked her where they keep the dirty susans lol
