    I have a suggestion for you: splitting the glass in 2 is the hard step but you can even avoid that. You can use a glass tube and the impeller of a centrifugal pump as base. the air will flow-in through the impeller end therefore with vorticity. If you get the right impeller (or just reproduce it with baffles, being static is not that hard as buinding a real impeller)it works really well.

    This is a really great idea. I was trying to figure out how to build a fire pit for my yard in such a way that it would have a cyclonic effect, and I figured I'd have to rig up some kind of sophisticated turn table. I'm going to try basing the shape on this design.

    Thanks for the cool video. I am a HVAC tech so I have alot of experience with gas combustion and welding and was thinking about somehow making a fire tornado but after seeing all your effort and expense I have deceided to give that idea up .As a side note, I welded legs on an old washer tub and put some ventilation holes in the bottom. When a wood fire is burning in it, it develops a pretty good draft that brings in alot of oxygen into the fire and reduces the smoke considerably. A process called primary air, the same thing that makes a gas flame burn clean and blue. Without this primary air, a gas flame will burn yellow and sooty and the combustion gas will be full of carbon monoxide from incomplete combustion

      @thundercell13 7 лет назад +1

      Lone Wolf WRONG, if you want to get technical then here it is...a tornado specifically has to form from a cloud to the ground, hence why they are called funnel clouds till they hit the ground and why water spouts are not called water tornadoes as well dust devils are not called dust tornadoes. This would properly be identified as a fire devil or fire whirl. It is a whirlwind made from fire, and since air acts as a fluid, a vortex.

    @TheBackYardScientist you could carve out of wood or 3D print a base that holds the flame source, the glass sets recessed into the base, and then a ring on top that recesses over the top of the glass without blocking the air from going straight up. you can then drill a hole, if you're careful, and use pins to secure the base and lid, and it will be a solid object that you can pick up and use as a mantle piece or decoration

    @joeldezwaan1149 7 лет назад

    TheBackyardScientist - the trick to getting the glass to break along your score lines is not using too much of a temperature difference. Run the scored glass under your tap alternating between hot and cold water every 15-30 seconds, after 5-10 minutes the two halves should just fall into your hands. I make drinking glasses out out wine bottles with this method. If your scores are clean the finished product is spectacular. Hope this helps in your future endeavors!

  • @TheCammerhammer
    @TheCammerhammer 7 лет назад +9

    I would definitely not recommend using the hand glass cutter option. It's nearly impossible to get a clean cut on a curved surface.
    Also, I don't think you stressed enough the importance of proper physical protection when cutting glass. Long sleeves, gloves and safety glasses are a must. I would strongly recommend a face mask as well since the glass slivers get everywhere, and glass in the mouth is extremely painful.

    • @Shadi2
      @Shadi2 7 лет назад

      never use gloves with grinders & rotary cutters; and roll up your sleeves, too. if you're worried about it shattering, wrap the glass object in masking/painters tape.

    • @TheBackyardScientist
      @TheBackyardScientist  7 лет назад +2

      Shadi2 actually gloves and angle grinders is one of the exceptions to the "no gloves or clothes near spinning tools" warning. I believe leather glover are recommend, if not required PPE. A better suggestion would be to always keep two hands on the grinder at all times!!

      Probably a hardware store. Rotary tools and angle grinders are getting incredibly cheap, in Australia angle grinders can be had for about $35.

      @TheBackyardScientist  7 лет назад +2

      boric acid for green. You can buy a glass scoring tool for $5, but you need to practice a ton and you will break 9/10 vases. it is possible, just hard, and its a good skill to learn.

      Go to Amazon. Look up HEET. Buy that.
      after that look up "Dremel" pick one you like, and buy that. Should come with the wheel, but if not, you can look up "diamond cut off wheel" and buy that. All without even leaving your house.

    I did something pretty similar using a centrifugal fan, a little container to hold the fuel, and a "cylinder hurricane vase."
    No need to cut glass; the centrifugal fan was where the spin occurred.
    The idea came from the "Fire Tornado Science Demonstration Show" video on RUclips (most likely the one coming up next, or at least in the links to the right, but easily searchable).

    • @Sylencer1982
      @Sylencer1982 7 лет назад

      Originally used just a normal hurricane lamp glass cover thing. BUT the top part got hot a lot quicker than the bottom, and it shattered due to the heat difference in the glass.

    Thanks for the video!
    Perhaps the split cylinder is an original idea and it's so simple!
    Could find some other applications where a vortex is required.
    No moving parts could be a damper on making some cool gadgets.
    The small home popcorn maker has formed angular slots at the bottom of the encased cylinder
    And a fan which delivers air, enclosed below it.
    A simplified way to do this is to have an offset air entry ( not radial) with manually operated bellows.
    Could fun or maybe something more!

      if you can think of any other material that meets the requirements of 1)transparent, and 2)heat proof, then go for it. also, tell the world, because a lot of other people will want to know.
