    I really enjoyed this "DIY" video. You give exact ... detailed... supply list at the beginning, then very clear, easy to understand and follow directions. No surprises. Thank you for the tip on drilling a hole in glass. (some people assume everyone has done this .... well not all of us have ... then you have to go to another video to figure out why your glass shattered!) Thank you.

    Vicky, you are one brilliant lady I've always wanted to make one of this, it absolutely neat, but also for my little 5 years old fascinated by tornadic forces this is one great demonstrator, and I will make one for our vegetable garden, thx for sharing

    Loved your water feature and the clear, concise way you explained what was needed and how to put it all together. You have a sharp mind, a good eye for great projects and a beautiful voice. Just be a bit more conversational when speaking, as if you were talking to a good friend over the phone. I hope to see many more projects from you. Have a good Day and a great life!

    • @markpanko7116
      @markpanko7116 7 лет назад +1

      You shouldn't comment on anyone's intonation when you seem to have a bigger problem with spelling. Didn't you notice the red flag when you typed "learnt"? That's not even a word.

    • @iwanttwoscoops
      @iwanttwoscoops 7 лет назад +6

      Mark Panko you shouldn't comment on anyone's spelling when you seem to have an even bigger problem with ignorance. Didn't you notice the LACK of a red flag when you typed "learnt"?
      seriously though, learnt IS a valid word in British English.

      Chill dude. I was making a friendly light hearted comment. BTW, here you go: en.oxforddictionaries.com/usage/learnt-vs-learned

  • @stephenperry1867
    @stephenperry1867 7 лет назад

    Thanks for the video Vicki. You gave very clear instructions, except for the size of pumps needed for the ¾ inch outlet hole. Would a smaller hole require smaller pumps and be enough to keep a constant water level?
    I've read that this vortex system will naturally energise the water passing through it. It works by vortex implosion and it would be interesting to see if fish /flowers /food crops can benefit from utilising the water passing through. The pioneer research of Viktor Schauberger sheds a lot of light on this principle -- he claimed that the piped water we've long used in modern times is "dead" due to being stored and carried in a linear fashion. So unless we've access to fresh spring, well or ground water, even our drinking water is mechanised. But this vortex system can re-energise it. Lucky goldfish.

  • @SailorAllan

    wait--so the reservoir underneath has to hold the water capacity of the vortex container PLUS how much water to keep the pumps primed and working ? when you shut if off, the water drains back into the lower container ?

    • @OnTheFlyDIY
      @OnTheFlyDIY  8 лет назад +5

      No, but only because there was minimal leakage, it didn't impact the water flow inside the cylinder, and I didn't need the cylinder to be watertight (it was just dripping back down into the planter base/pond). I don't think it would hurt it to seal with some epoxy (say, if you were having issues keeping your 90 degree elbows in place), but I didn't find it necessary. Thanks for the question!
