A million views. Neat! A lot of you guys have asked a few questions I thought i'd answer. Feel free to read through but it is a word wall. 1, How the heck did i make it? The living room of my father's place had a very strong ceiling fan, which could go in reverse. Instead of blowing air down, it would pull the air up. That would create an updraft strong enough to sustain the vortex. Next, I had a box fan and a blanket set up to redirect the air flow so it rotated around the center of the room. You can see it as the dark blue object in the back right. After the fans were turned on, I laid out an old dark red bed sheet with a small PVC pipe underneath it connected to a fog machine. The bed sheet allowed the fog to gently seep through and get pulled into the vortex, as opposed to being blasted out of the pipe. And then it was all a matter of letting the ceiling fan's updraft and the box fan's rotation mix into a 10 ft tall indoor tornado!! 2, can I do this again? Well, possibly. My father has since moved to a new place which does not have a similar setup. I live with my mother now and our main living room DOES have open space and a reversible ceiling fan, however, it is very old and does not produce a sufficient updraft. It's possible that I can recreate this in my own room, however my ceiling fan does not reverse. I suppose I can replace it with one that does, and if so i can use my laser projectors and lights to make a very cool effect. Though, I'd have to disable the smoke alarm LOL, don't want that racket. We'll see! 3, can you make mini buildings? Yes! I did this a lot. My favorite trick was either making a series of card houses or lego houses for the tornado to interact with. It was surprisingly forceful, it would flatten card houses in one go. I had some model trees, the kind you see with railroad models, which I would place and they'd get toppled over too. Another trick I did was that i would make a lego house with a playing card as the "roof". When the tornado passed over, it'd blow the roof right off! Using Monopoly game pieces was fun too, since it made the tornado seam really big. 4, what about lasers? at the time, I didn't have my collection of laser projectors, but i Did have a set of prisms and a powerful green laser. I managed to make a solid line which looked REALLY COOL with the vortex. It had an eye much like a miniature hurricane. 5, is this dangerous? No, not really. The vortex does look realistic and behaves much like a rope tornado, take a look at the Ashby, MN tornado or the Ellis County tornado, quite similar structure. However, this vortex can only do so much as to move a few playing cards and toss feathers around. You can certainly feel it if you stick your hand, and you might notice it "tugging" the red sheet a little bit too. I think the most dangerous part of the whole setup is the fact that the fog leaves a slick residue on the floor after several uses, but that can be cleaned up pretty easily. That, and it can sometimes set smoke alarms off and makes the room hazy for a while.
I once made an actual mini tornado and it was around my feet and it was wind wrapping around me with leaves and dirt and I saw ants in the tornado so rip ants
I have the reversible ceiling fan (it's actually a setting for winter to redistribute the heat that rises) & this looks like fun! I may have to try this myself with my kids. :) Thank you for the complete instructions yay!!
all of the fans in my house are reversible but i dont hsve a smoke mashine. also i would have o put somthing over the carpet because the carpet would tell the tornado to go to hell
this could be used as scientific research to interpret how tornado's work... very fascinating... if I go by the video, there has to be enough upward wind with enough dust to create a tornado, then we got a tornado... I think that could be the reason plus more factors added along to it with theoretical mathematics, then we have figured out how a typical tornado is formed...
"GOOD LORD What's happening in there!?" "Uh.. a tornado..." "Ah... a tornado?! At this time of day, at this time of the year, in this part of the country, localized ENTIRELY within your living room?!"
there has to be many other factors such as wind shearing (for the spinning air to be rotated vertically allowing the clouds of the storm to be apart of the rotating vortex of air) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado
Brilliant demonstration! ✨️🌪 ⚛️ I love how you can clearly see the various elements of the tornado, like the core, the funnel, and the whirlwind force of the actual tornado, evidenced by the swirling vapors that seem like they're invisibly attached to the funnel. 🌪 This shows the similarity between tornadoes and black holes, the tornado event horizon, which makes them far bigger than the visible funnel. 🍵🙏
⚛️ Upon closer examination, you could also see the rapid intensification of the tornado with a sustained updraft into turbulent aerodynamics of F3+ tornadoes. 🌪 This seems to suggest that tornadoes are much like tops. With "minor" periodic influx we see these very esthetic cylindrical funnels characteristic of many F0 and F1 tornadoes and land spouts, and they also tend to travel quite slow in comparison. Very fascinating
Experiments like these are why I'm very in favor of the tornados start at ground level theory Or at least ground level vorticity plays a big part in formation. You basically made a landspout. Super cool
@Scott Luther This is not a bad joke I only made this joke because I was bored. The reason why I made that joke is because in the show Aang is an air bender and in this video this person made a homemade tornado and I just thought it would be a funny joke if you don't like the joke then why are you in this comment section?
This sort of thing is why we need decorational/ornamental holograms!.. having this thing on in a room with cool lighting as a table lamp would be cool as hell
I remember seeing an educational "tornado machine" kit that was about 2 feet tall and produced a very similar vortex to mine, so i guess thats the closest thing we have to a "desktop" version other than water vortex lamps.
Then your mom comes and sees the blanket on the floor and says “wow your room is so dirty it looks like a tornado hit” (Yes I read the pinned comment I know this isn’t his room)
Finally, mother nature doesn't only make tornados. A quick question will not be quick but how do you make them tornados indoors? Hey Alex you are good at making that stuff!
You had me going there for a moment. Then I had to read abt how this was done. I have to admit, that was a pretty cool trick. I cat would've enjoyed trying to catch it.😀🌬🌪
i had a small machine that was able to produce miniature tornadoes out of water vapor, it was fun to use when i was younger, ive forgotten its name though. edit: the machines name is “teaching tornado”
you changed your house into a miniature supercell! small-ish fan to make the air rotate first horizontally, to get pulled up vertically by the ceiling fan.. you are a genius, and showed us the core principle why a supercell its updraft is rotating, and spawning a tornado as well.. gets me thinking tho, would the inside of a supercell updraft look like this, but then massive and huge?
If you have a fog machine on one side, and a heater on the other, then the PBC pipes and fan... Oh my, I can see the potential impact and it might blow you away! Ahhh.
But you know what? A homemade tornado like this in a full out intensity (inside building only) may be safer than dynamite, and Better for the environment... Dear Lord may people not try this at home 🙏
Fun fact: if a tornado is a skinny rope like this you can bet they won't live for much longer I've heard cases of these tornadoes not living very long a tornado chaser himself said that when tornadoes go through this phase often their end is near or at least close but some tornadoes can last for hours in this form

And how it dies it literally looks like a tornado that’s dying out (and it looks mostly like a EF1 tornado even though it’s a mini one I can tell from the shape and size it’s at least gotta be an EF1)
That’s actually a very interesting idea, imagine if some guy decided to build a giant room that simulates stuff like updrafts, downdrafts, creating mini supercells and clouds that produce rain, a museum in my state has something similar but it’s very small
