DIY Tornado Machine
A great looking project via Make:Blog. Just need to add some LED’s to it, sync it to some music and it could be one trippy light at your next party.
“The document available on this page describes how to build a tornado machine. The tornado machine is a vertical cylindrical box of about one meter high (3 to 4 ft) with a front opening. Air is rotating and rising in the machine, and with the means of a fine water mist a tornado vortex will form.
Can you build this? Yes! However, the design of this machine is more elaborate than it would need to be to just produce a vortex - it is meant to be put in your living room or somewhere else that requires it to look nice. If you follow the construction plans carefully and methodically, you will find that building this machine does not require a lot of work, and the results will be well worth it!”
