hey guys welcome back thanks for joining us today on the king of random not too
us today on the king of random not too
us today on the king of random not too long ago we showed you how to make a
long ago we showed you how to make a
long ago we showed you how to make a desktop vortex fountain something that
desktop vortex fountain something that
desktop vortex fountain something that used to pump in a small cistern of water
used to pump in a small cistern of water
used to pump in a small cistern of water pumped it up into a cup in a spiral so
pumped it up into a cup in a spiral so
pumped it up into a cup in a spiral so that as it drained out it forms sort of
that as it drained out it forms sort of
that as it drained out it forms sort of a water tornado well that was pretty
a water tornado well that was pretty
a water tornado well that was pretty cool but today we’re gonna try and suit
cool but today we’re gonna try and suit
cool but today we’re gonna try and suit that up to make a larger full-size
that up to make a larger full-size
that up to make a larger full-size vortex fountain and we have a couple of
vortex fountain and we have a couple of
vortex fountain and we have a couple of twists we’re gonna add in as well the
twists we’re gonna add in as well the
twists we’re gonna add in as well the basic idea is the same

basic idea is the same this orange bucket we’ll be using as our
this orange bucket we’ll be using as our
this orange bucket we’ll be using as our cistern down below we have a pump that
cistern down below we have a pump that
cistern down below we have a pump that can move up to 550 gallons of water per

flexible vinyl hosing will make this drink dispenser the part of our fountain
drink dispenser the part of our fountain
drink dispenser the part of our fountain that houses the vortex we also have this
that houses the vortex we also have this
that houses the vortex we also have this plastic 16 inch diameter tray one of the
plastic 16 inch diameter tray one of the
plastic 16 inch diameter tray one of the first things we need to do is to take
first things we need to do is to take
first things we need to do is to take off all of the excess pieces that come
off all of the excess pieces that come
off all of the excess pieces that come with this drink dispenser it’s got a lot
with this drink dispenser it’s got a lot
with this drink dispenser it’s got a lot of cool accessories but we’re not going
of cool accessories but we’re not going
of cool accessories but we’re not going to use them now we also want to remove
to use them now we also want to remove
to use them now we also want to remove the spigot here but after we remove it
the spigot here but after we remove it
the spigot here but after we remove it we do want to keep this thicker rubber
we do want to keep this thicker rubber
we do want to keep this thicker rubber seal that’s on the outside one of the
seal that’s on the outside one of the
seal that’s on the outside one of the first steps will take is giving
first steps will take is giving
first steps will take is giving ourselves an attachment method for the
ourselves an attachment method for the
ourselves an attachment method for the hose outside of the container that will
hose outside of the container that will
hose outside of the container that will also angle the water on the inside of
also angle the water on the inside of
also angle the water on the inside of the container at Ace Hardware I managed
the container at Ace Hardware I managed
the container at Ace Hardware I managed to find these plastic pieces that turn
to find these plastic pieces that turn
to find these plastic pieces that turn at an angle and are smaller on one side
at an angle and are smaller on one side
at an angle and are smaller on one side than at the other so that they link
than at the other so that they link
than at the other so that they link together nicely the smaller end also
together nicely the smaller end also
together nicely the smaller end also fits perfectly with our three-eighths
fits perfectly with our three-eighths
fits perfectly with our three-eighths inch vinyl hose what we’re going to do
inch vinyl hose what we’re going to do
inch vinyl hose what we’re going to do is fit the narrow end of one of these
is fit the narrow end of one of these
is fit the narrow end of one of these elbows through the hole where the spigot
elbows through the hole where the spigot
elbows through the hole where the spigot was in our drink container will then
was in our drink container will then
was in our drink container will then attach the other elbow to the first one
attach the other elbow to the first one
attach the other elbow to the first one through the container because the hole
through the container because the hole
through the container because the hole is larger than the piece of plastic
is larger than the piece of plastic
is larger than the piece of plastic going through it we’re also going to
going through it we’re also going to
going through it we’re also going to take the rubber seal that was on the
take the rubber seal that was on the
take the rubber seal that was on the spigot and use that to seal everything
spigot and use that to seal everything
spigot and use that to seal everything up now that may hold water a little bit
up now that may hold water a little bit
up now that may hold water a little bit but we want to make sure it’s 100%
but we want to make sure it’s 100%
but we want to make sure it’s 100% waterproof so we’re also going to take
waterproof so we’re also going to take
waterproof so we’re also going to take our hot glue gun and spread a ring of
our hot glue gun and spread a ring of
our hot glue gun and spread a ring of warm glue around this edge and then
warm glue around this edge and then
warm glue around this edge and then we’ll put this on and press the rubber
we’ll put this on and press the rubber
we’ll put this on and press the rubber down into that that should give us a
down into that that should give us a
down into that that should give us a really nice seal that will never leak
really nice seal that will never leak
really nice seal that will never leak now while that’s cooling let’s also

when we have the hole in our vortex
when we have the hole in our vortex chamber lined up perfectly with the hole
chamber lined up perfectly with the hole
chamber lined up perfectly with the hole in our plastic tray we can see
in our plastic tray we can see
in our plastic tray we can see approximately where we need to drill the
approximately where we need to drill the
approximately where we need to drill the second hole that will let the tube come
second hole that will let the tube come
second hole that will let the tube come up from the pump to feed water into our
up from the pump to feed water into our
up from the pump to feed water into our tank once again this hole doesn’t have
tank once again this hole doesn’t have
tank once again this hole doesn’t have to be exactly the same size as the hose
to be exactly the same size as the hose
to be exactly the same size as the hose it can be a little bit larger I’m not
it can be a little bit larger I’m not
it can be a little bit larger I’m not gonna stick with the 1-inch I’m gonna
gonna stick with the 1-inch I’m gonna
gonna stick with the 1-inch I’m gonna take it down just a little bit I’ve got
take it down just a little bit I’ve got
take it down just a little bit I’ve got my three-quarter inch drill bit and
my three-quarter inch drill bit and
my three-quarter inch drill bit and that’s what I’m gonna use for our second
that’s what I’m gonna use for our second
that’s what I’m gonna use for our second hole in the tray we’ve got two holes
hole in the tray we’ve got two holes
hole in the tray we’ve got two holes drilled into our tray one hole drilled

where the piping is going to take the
where the piping is going to take the water up from the pump into our vortex
water up from the pump into our vortex
water up from the pump into our vortex chamber once our hole fountain is up and
chamber once our hole fountain is up and
chamber once our hole fountain is up and running some of the water will be
running some of the water will be
running some of the water will be filling out of the vortex chamber and
filling out of the vortex chamber and
filling out of the vortex chamber and landing on the tray to help it drain
landing on the tray to help it drain
landing on the tray to help it drain faster back into the bucket we’re gonna
faster back into the bucket we’re gonna
faster back into the bucket we’re gonna drill just a few more holes in it I do
drill just a few more holes in it I do
drill just a few more holes in it I do want to make sure all of the holes are
want to make sure all of the holes are
want to make sure all of the holes are set fairly far in if they’re out near
set fairly far in if they’re out near
set fairly far in if they’re out near the edges that will actually be wider
the edges that will actually be wider
the edges that will actually be wider than where the bucket was and all the
than where the bucket was and all the
than where the bucket was and all the water will just drain onto the ground
for these holes I’m going one step
for these holes I’m going one step smaller and using a 5/8 inch drill bit
our plastic tray now has eight holes
our plastic tray now has eight holes drilled into it now let’s set this aside
drilled into it now let’s set this aside
drilled into it now let’s set this aside and work on our pump for a minute this
and work on our pump for a minute this
and work on our pump for a minute this pump is designed to be submerged

pump is designed to be submerged completely underwater as it’s working it
completely underwater as it’s working it
completely underwater as it’s working it has a nozzle at the top where all the
has a nozzle at the top where all the
has a nozzle at the top where all the water will spray out what we need to do
water will spray out what we need to do
water will spray out what we need to do is use our hose to connect this nozzle
is use our hose to connect this nozzle
is use our hose to connect this nozzle to the input of our vortex tank when our
to the input of our vortex tank when our
to the input of our vortex tank when our pump is in the bucket you can see we
pump is in the bucket you can see we
pump is in the bucket you can see we won’t actually need all that much hose
won’t actually need all that much hose
won’t actually need all that much hose it will need to connect from about here
it will need to connect from about here
it will need to connect from about here to here to make sure that we have enough
to here to make sure that we have enough
to here to make sure that we have enough while we do our accurate measurement I’m
while we do our accurate measurement I’m
while we do our accurate measurement I’m just gonna cut off an extra six inches
just gonna cut off an extra six inches
just gonna cut off an extra six inches of it and then do our measuring from
of it and then do our measuring from
of it and then do our measuring from there this 3/8 inch hose is a little bit
there this 3/8 inch hose is a little bit
there this 3/8 inch hose is a little bit too small to fit over the nozzle easily
too small to fit over the nozzle easily
too small to fit over the nozzle easily but I found if you just kind of wiggle
but I found if you just kind of wiggle
but I found if you just kind of wiggle it and press it you can actually get it
it and press it you can actually get it
it and press it you can actually get it on fairly well as you can see this vinyl
on fairly well as you can see this vinyl
on fairly well as you can see this vinyl tubing really likes to curl itself up
tubing really likes to curl itself up
tubing really likes to curl itself up and we want to be pointing basically
and we want to be pointing basically
and we want to be pointing basically straight so what we’re gonna try and do
straight so what we’re gonna try and do
straight so what we’re gonna try and do is use a little bit of heat to make it
is use a little bit of heat to make it
is use a little bit of heat to make it soft enough that we can straighten it
soft enough that we can straighten it
soft enough that we can straighten it out and then have it cooled down like
out and then have it cooled down like
out and then have it cooled down like that there we go that’s way better in
that there we go that’s way better in
that there we go that’s way better in terms of shape we’ll just let that cool
terms of shape we’ll just let that cool
terms of shape we’ll just let that cool down a little bit and it’ll be a lot
down a little bit and it’ll be a lot
down a little bit and it’ll be a lot straighter alright our hose has now been
straighter alright our hose has now been
straighter alright our hose has now been warmed up reshaped a little bit and
warmed up reshaped a little bit and
warmed up reshaped a little bit and cooled down and it’s being much more
cooled down and it’s being much more
cooled down and it’s being much more agreeable standing mostly straight up so

that we want to cut our hose off right about here beautiful
that right into the nozzle hole in the
that right into the nozzle hole in the center of our vortex chamber lines up
center of our vortex chamber lines up
center of our vortex chamber lines up wonderfully with the hole in the tray
wonderfully with the hole in the tray
wonderfully with the hole in the tray that’s just how we want it to look at
that’s just how we want it to look at
that’s just how we want it to look at this point I think we are ready to put
this point I think we are ready to put
this point I think we are ready to put water in the bucket and give our vortex
water in the bucket and give our vortex
water in the bucket and give our vortex chamber a test now we need to make sure
chamber a test now we need to make sure
chamber a test now we need to make sure that we have enough water in the buckets
that we have enough water in the buckets
that we have enough water in the buckets what we’re going to do is we’re going to
what we’re going to do is we’re going to
what we’re going to do is we’re going to pour water in until it completely covers
pour water in until it completely covers
pour water in until it completely covers the pump and then we want to add at
the pump and then we want to add at
the pump and then we want to add at least the volume of this container on
least the volume of this container on
least the volume of this container on top of that that way no matter how full
top of that that way no matter how full
top of that that way no matter how full this gets our pump will have enough
this gets our pump will have enough
this gets our pump will have enough water to keep going
all right that’s a bucket full of water
all right that’s a bucket full of water and since we’re at the sink let’s just
and since we’re at the sink let’s just
and since we’re at the sink let’s just do some testing right here in case it
do some testing right here in case it
do some testing right here in case it spills anywhere all right here goes the
spills anywhere all right here goes the
spills anywhere all right here goes the see quite a good volume of water comes
see quite a good volume of water comes
see quite a good volume of water comes out of this thing it’s a good little
out of this thing it’s a good little
out of this thing it’s a good little pump already got a little bit of a
pump already got a little bit of a
pump already got a little bit of a vortex forming in there and even though
vortex forming in there and even though
vortex forming in there and even though the water is draining out the bottom
the water is draining out the bottom
the water is draining out the bottom it’s pumping in fast enough that the
it’s pumping in fast enough that the
it’s pumping in fast enough that the water level continues to climb this
water level continues to climb this
water level continues to climb this whole apparatus is a little bit of a
whole apparatus is a little bit of a
whole apparatus is a little bit of a slope right now partly because it’s in
slope right now partly because it’s in
slope right now partly because it’s in the sink which I think has a sloped
the sink which I think has a sloped
the sink which I think has a sloped bottom and also because the power cord
bottom and also because the power cord
bottom and also because the power cord from the pump is in between the bucket
from the pump is in between the bucket
from the pump is in between the bucket and the tray over here and it’s making
and the tray over here and it’s making
and the tray over here and it’s making it tilt on one side that is a whirlpool
it tilt on one side that is a whirlpool
it tilt on one side that is a whirlpool from top to bottom just what we want to
from top to bottom just what we want to
from top to bottom just what we want to see all right we know it’s working I’m
see all right we know it’s working I’m
see all right we know it’s working I’m gonna unplug it and let it drain
now of course there’s no more water
now of course there’s no more water coming in but still draining out the
coming in but still draining out the
coming in but still draining out the middle so it just keeps going with the
middle so it just keeps going with the
middle so it just keeps going with the whirlpool as the water level drops all
whirlpool as the water level drops all
whirlpool as the water level drops all right that worked great now there are a
right that worked great now there are a
right that worked great now there are a few changes I want to make so it works
few changes I want to make so it works
few changes I want to make so it works even more smoothly one of the first
even more smoothly one of the first
even more smoothly one of the first things I want to change is I’m going to
things I want to change is I’m going to
things I want to change is I’m going to cut a notch in the top of the bucket so
cut a notch in the top of the bucket so
cut a notch in the top of the bucket so that when the cord fits in that notch
that when the cord fits in that notch
that when the cord fits in that notch the tray can sit flush on the top so I’m
the tray can sit flush on the top so I’m
the tray can sit flush on the top so I’m just going to mark a spot on our bucket
just going to mark a spot on our bucket
just going to mark a spot on our bucket where I want the notch to be then I’ll
where I want the notch to be then I’ll
where I want the notch to be then I’ll get a saw and cut that down perfect now
get a saw and cut that down perfect now
get a saw and cut that down perfect now our cord can just sit right there and
our cord can just sit right there and
our cord can just sit right there and our tray will sit flush on top of that
our tray will sit flush on top of that
our tray will sit flush on top of that cutting a notch in the bucket is the
cutting a notch in the bucket is the
cutting a notch in the bucket is the first modification I wanted to do the
first modification I wanted to do the
first modification I wanted to do the second is a little bit more colorful I
second is a little bit more colorful I
second is a little bit more colorful I have here a string of LED strip lighting
have here a string of LED strip lighting
have here a string of LED strip lighting which can be made to shine in a whole
which can be made to shine in a whole
which can be made to shine in a whole big variety of colors and patterns and
big variety of colors and patterns and
big variety of colors and patterns and the power system that drives it all the
the power system that drives it all the
the power system that drives it all the plan is that the strip of LEDs will come
plan is that the strip of LEDs will come
plan is that the strip of LEDs will come in through the side of the tray and wrap
in through the side of the tray and wrap
in through the side of the tray and wrap around the inside of the bottom of our
around the inside of the bottom of our
around the inside of the bottom of our vortex fountain that way we can choose
vortex fountain that way we can choose
vortex fountain that way we can choose the color of our fountain lights we’ll
the color of our fountain lights we’ll
the color of our fountain lights we’ll drill a small hole in the bottom of the
drill a small hole in the bottom of the
drill a small hole in the bottom of the tray run the lighting through there and
tray run the lighting through there and
tray run the lighting through there and then we’ll use hot glue to seal that off
there should be plenty but just to be
there should be plenty but just to be sure I’ll give myself another foot and
sure I’ll give myself another foot and
sure I’ll give myself another foot and that’s where I’ll cut it off now these
that’s where I’ll cut it off now these
that’s where I’ll cut it off now these LEDs are designed to be cut every two
LEDs are designed to be cut every two
LEDs are designed to be cut every two inches or so with a little mark that
inches or so with a little mark that
inches or so with a little mark that fits nicely up through where we just
fits nicely up through where we just
fits nicely up through where we just drilled a hole that’s good alright so I
drilled a hole that’s good alright so I
drilled a hole that’s good alright so I think the best position is going to be
think the best position is going to be
think the best position is going to be for this box to be vertically up and
for this box to be vertically up and
for this box to be vertically up and down next to the bucket I’m going to use
down next to the bucket I’m going to use
down next to the bucket I’m going to use some tape to secure it in place
some tape to secure it in place
some tape to secure it in place I’m also just gonna tape this piece in
I’m also just gonna tape this piece in
I’m also just gonna tape this piece in place I’m leaving a fair amount of slack
place I’m leaving a fair amount of slack
place I’m leaving a fair amount of slack in our LED line because I need to be
in our LED line because I need to be
in our LED line because I need to be able to lift the tray a little bit
able to lift the tray a little bit
able to lift the tray a little bit without it just immediately
without it just immediately
without it just immediately disconnecting everything I’ve got in
disconnecting everything I’ve got in
disconnecting everything I’ve got in there and yes in case any of you are
there and yes in case any of you are
there and yes in case any of you are wondering this lighting system is
wondering this lighting system is
wondering this lighting system is actually waterproof it’s not good to get
actually waterproof it’s not good to get
actually waterproof it’s not good to get any of the control box pieces wet but
any of the control box pieces wet but
any of the control box pieces wet but that shouldn’t be a problem let’s give
that shouldn’t be a problem let’s give
that shouldn’t be a problem let’s give our lights another test ha beautiful
our lights another test ha beautiful
our lights another test ha beautiful lighting right up at the bottom of our
lighting right up at the bottom of our
lighting right up at the bottom of our vortex chamber just how we want it to
vortex chamber just how we want it to
vortex chamber just how we want it to it’s beautiful
alright I’m gonna use a little bit more
alright I’m gonna use a little bit more tape and just sort of secure these two
tape and just sort of secure these two
tape and just sort of secure these two power cords so they’re together and near
power cords so they’re together and near
power cords so they’re together and near the bottom now our fountain is looking
the bottom now our fountain is looking
the bottom now our fountain is looking pretty good but we still have this
pretty good but we still have this
pretty good but we still have this bright orange bucket and a bunch of
bright orange bucket and a bunch of
bright orange bucket and a bunch of exposed wires and cables and stuff so we
exposed wires and cables and stuff so we
exposed wires and cables and stuff so we don’t want that we want it to look a lot
don’t want that we want it to look a lot
don’t want that we want it to look a lot more sleek and professional on our
more sleek and professional on our
more sleek and professional on our tabletop vortex fountain we use popsicle
tabletop vortex fountain we use popsicle
tabletop vortex fountain we use popsicle sticks glued to the bottom container to
sticks glued to the bottom container to
sticks glued to the bottom container to make it look a little bit more classy
make it look a little bit more classy
make it look a little bit more classy well that’s not gonna work so well with
well that’s not gonna work so well with
well that’s not gonna work so well with our bucket but I do have an idea that
our bucket but I do have an idea that
our bucket but I do have an idea that will give us a similar look these are
will give us a similar look these are
will give us a similar look these are some bamboo window blinds that I picked
some bamboo window blinds that I picked
some bamboo window blinds that I picked up at Home Depot for about $15 I think
up at Home Depot for about $15 I think
up at Home Depot for about $15 I think what I want to do is cut them at just
what I want to do is cut them at just
what I want to do is cut them at just the right height so they fit right
the right height so they fit right
the right height so they fit right underneath this lip so they go all the
underneath this lip so they go all the
underneath this lip so they go all the way around our bucket and all of our
way around our bucket and all of our
way around our bucket and all of our wiring and cables it looks like the
wiring and cables it looks like the
wiring and cables it looks like the right height right about here almost
right height right about here almost
right height right about here almost exactly halfway
exactly halfway
exactly halfway between top and the bottom of our blinds
between top and the bottom of our blinds
between top and the bottom of our blinds here now I want to cut off the edge of
here now I want to cut off the edge of
here now I want to cut off the edge of this set of blinds because it’s got some
this set of blinds because it’s got some
this set of blinds because it’s got some hardware that I’m not going to need but
hardware that I’m not going to need but
hardware that I’m not going to need but before I do that I’m just gonna add a
before I do that I’m just gonna add a
before I do that I’m just gonna add a little spot of glue everywhere so that I
little spot of glue everywhere so that I
little spot of glue everywhere so that I don’t have these other lines of string
don’t have these other lines of string
don’t have these other lines of string unravel
[Applause]
[Applause] bad we got a little bit of splintering

isn’t any difficult there we go I think
isn’t any difficult there we go I think we have ourselves a fountain if you

we have ourselves a fountain if you remember from the desktop vortex
remember from the desktop vortex
remember from the desktop vortex fountain we used a bunch of little
fountain we used a bunch of little
fountain we used a bunch of little pebbles to go around as decoration I
pebbles to go around as decoration I
pebbles to go around as decoration I really liked how that looks so I’m gonna
really liked how that looks so I’m gonna
really liked how that looks so I’m gonna do the same thing with a little bit
do the same thing with a little bit
do the same thing with a little bit larger of rocks for this one all right I
larger of rocks for this one all right I
larger of rocks for this one all right I have here a power strip that has an
have here a power strip that has an
have here a power strip that has an on/off switch to it so that we can
on/off switch to it so that we can
on/off switch to it so that we can control the pump even when it’s plugged
control the pump even when it’s plugged
control the pump even when it’s plugged in here goes nothing let’s get some
in here goes nothing let’s get some
in here goes nothing let’s get some lights going with it oh yeah all that
lights going with it oh yeah all that
lights going with it oh yeah all that looks awesome
oh I got leakage I didn’t use glue to
oh I got leakage I didn’t use glue to seal off where the lighting went down I
seal off where the lighting went down I
seal off where the lighting went down I forgot about that remember when I said I
forgot about that remember when I said I
forgot about that remember when I said I was gonna use hot glue and seal it off I
was gonna use hot glue and seal it off I
was gonna use hot glue and seal it off I need to use hot glue and seal it off all
need to use hot glue and seal it off all
need to use hot glue and seal it off all that not really supposed to happen
doesn’t look like it’s dripping think
doesn’t look like it’s dripping think we’re good all right Wow with the lights
we’re good all right Wow with the lights
we’re good all right Wow with the lights off this thing looks incredible the LED
off this thing looks incredible the LED
off this thing looks incredible the LED lights at the bottom do an amazing job
lights at the bottom do an amazing job
lights at the bottom do an amazing job of just lighting up the entire fountain
of just lighting up the entire fountain
of just lighting up the entire fountain there are tiny tiny little bubbles
there are tiny tiny little bubbles
there are tiny tiny little bubbles swirling through the water and I think
swirling through the water and I think
swirling through the water and I think it does a really good job of lighting
it does a really good job of lighting
it does a really good job of lighting those off and it also reflects off of
those off and it also reflects off of
those off and it also reflects off of the top of the water pretty well so the
the top of the water pretty well so the
the top of the water pretty well so the whole thing looks like it’s glowing all
whole thing looks like it’s glowing all
whole thing looks like it’s glowing all right let’s try this again outside I do
right let’s try this again outside I do
right let’s try this again outside I do have one more little thing that I’ve
have one more little thing that I’ve
have one more little thing that I’ve added to this one I talked about how I
added to this one I talked about how I
added to this one I talked about how I really like the look of the tiny little
really like the look of the tiny little
really like the look of the tiny little bubbles mixed in with the water swirling
bubbles mixed in with the water swirling
bubbles mixed in with the water swirling around because they do a good job of
around because they do a good job of
around because they do a good job of catching light well just to take things
catching light well just to take things
catching light well just to take things another step farther I actually added a
another step farther I actually added a
another step farther I actually added a hose going into the bottom that wraps
hose going into the bottom that wraps
hose going into the bottom that wraps around in a circle with some tiny little
around in a circle with some tiny little
around in a circle with some tiny little holes pricked in it so I’m gonna add
holes pricked in it so I’m gonna add
holes pricked in it so I’m gonna add some pressure and we’ll see if we can
some pressure and we’ll see if we can
some pressure and we’ll see if we can get some larger bubbles swirling around
get some larger bubbles swirling around
get some larger bubbles swirling around in the mix with it
there we go now we’ve got much larger
there we go now we’ve got much larger bubbles swirling around in there you can
bubbles swirling around in there you can
bubbles swirling around in there you can see that makes the tornado a little bit
see that makes the tornado a little bit
see that makes the tornado a little bit less effective as there’s gaseous
less effective as there’s gaseous
less effective as there’s gaseous bubbles running around the overall
bubbles running around the overall
bubbles running around the overall density of the fluid in the container is
density of the fluid in the container is
density of the fluid in the container is lower so it has a harder time
lower so it has a harder time
lower so it has a harder time maintaining the tornado now there’s one
maintaining the tornado now there’s one
maintaining the tornado now there’s one other thing I didn’t mention these
other thing I didn’t mention these
other thing I didn’t mention these aren’t oxygen bubbles they’re propane so
aren’t oxygen bubbles they’re propane so
aren’t oxygen bubbles they’re propane so now we have a colorful glowing fire
now we have a colorful glowing fire
now we have a colorful glowing fire vortex fountain this is one of the

and we added some lights and some
and we added some lights and some propane gas to it so you can ignite it
propane gas to it so you can ignite it
propane gas to it so you can ignite it but it’s a pretty simple build I built
but it’s a pretty simple build I built
but it’s a pretty simple build I built this whole thing in just a few hours and
