hey guys welcome back to the workshop today we’re going to try to make our own
today we’re going to try to make our own
today we’re going to try to make our own version of a simple experiment you may
version of a simple experiment you may
version of a simple experiment you may have seen before this little device here
have seen before this little device here
have seen before this little device here lets you connect to soda bottles
lets you connect to soda bottles
lets you connect to soda bottles together to make a tornado tube to make
together to make a tornado tube to make
together to make a tornado tube to make it work you simply fill one soda bottle
it work you simply fill one soda bottle
it work you simply fill one soda bottle two-thirds full of water attach the
two-thirds full of water attach the
two-thirds full of water attach the tornado tube device and then screw the
tornado tube device and then screw the
tornado tube device and then screw the other soda bottle into the top of it you
other soda bottle into the top of it you
other soda bottle into the top of it you can see that there are threads that hold
can see that there are threads that hold
can see that there are threads that hold the device onto the soda bottle and then
the device onto the soda bottle and then
the device onto the soda bottle and then a small smooth hole down through the
a small smooth hole down through the
a small smooth hole down through the center so to make this device work the
center so to make this device work the
center so to make this device work the way we want to we’re going to flip it
way we want to we’re going to flip it
way we want to we’re going to flip it upside down and quickly shake it in a
upside down and quickly shake it in a
upside down and quickly shake it in a circular motion watch what happens now
circular motion watch what happens now
circular motion watch what happens now as you can see we’ve got this cool water
as you can see we’ve got this cool water
as you can see we’ve got this cool water vortex for me in the upper chamber so
vortex for me in the upper chamber so
vortex for me in the upper chamber so what happens is as the water swirls
what happens is as the water swirls
what happens is as the water swirls around it’s able to drain just on the
around it’s able to drain just on the
around it’s able to drain just on the edges of the hole in the connector while
edges of the hole in the connector while
edges of the hole in the connector while the center of the hole has air flowing
the center of the hole has air flowing
the center of the hole has air flowing up through it into the bottle on the top
up through it into the bottle on the top
up through it into the bottle on the top because air is able to flow into the top
because air is able to flow into the top
because air is able to flow into the top bottle as the water drains into the
bottle as the water drains into the
bottle as the water drains into the lower bottle the pressure between them
lower bottle the pressure between them
lower bottle the pressure between them stays equal and the water is able to
stays equal and the water is able to
stays equal and the water is able to flow smoothly now we see how this
flow smoothly now we see how this
flow smoothly now we see how this version works let’s try to build our own
version works let’s try to build our own
version works let’s try to build our own all of the equipment that we’re gonna
all of the equipment that we’re gonna
all of the equipment that we’re gonna need today is to clear 2 liter soda
need today is to clear 2 liter soda
need today is to clear 2 liter soda bottles a 1 inch PVC coupling and a glue
bottles a 1 inch PVC coupling and a glue
bottles a 1 inch PVC coupling and a glue gun
gun
gun now our 1 inch PVC coupling fits over
now our 1 inch PVC coupling fits over
now our 1 inch PVC coupling fits over our cap with just a little bit of room
our cap with just a little bit of room
our cap with just a little bit of room to spare to secure it I’m gonna take
to spare to secure it I’m gonna take
to spare to secure it I’m gonna take some hot glue and spread that all the
some hot glue and spread that all the
some hot glue and spread that all the way around the sides of this cap which
way around the sides of this cap which
way around the sides of this cap which has some ridges on it to help with grip
has some ridges on it to help with grip
has some ridges on it to help with grip and I’m hoping that’ll also help it
and I’m hoping that’ll also help it
and I’m hoping that’ll also help it stick to our PVC a little bit better to
stick to our PVC a little bit better to
stick to our PVC a little bit better to ensure we have a good grip on the PVC
ensure we have a good grip on the PVC
ensure we have a good grip on the PVC itself I’m just gonna take a little bit
itself I’m just gonna take a little bit
itself I’m just gonna take a little bit of sandpaper and rough up the inside and
of sandpaper and rough up the inside and
of sandpaper and rough up the inside and it will ply the glue fairly quickly so
it will ply the glue fairly quickly so
it will ply the glue fairly quickly so that it doesn’t cool down like and then
that it doesn’t cool down like and then
that it doesn’t cool down like and then fit our coupling over the cap and you
fit our coupling over the cap and you
fit our coupling over the cap and you can see that the coupling has a middle
can see that the coupling has a middle
can see that the coupling has a middle stripe going around the middle and we
stripe going around the middle and we
stripe going around the middle and we want that and sort of right at the same
want that and sort of right at the same
want that and sort of right at the same level as the soda bottle cap with our
level as the soda bottle cap with our
level as the soda bottle cap with our coupling attached to the first cap now
coupling attached to the first cap now
coupling attached to the first cap now we’ll take the glue gun go around the
we’ll take the glue gun go around the
we’ll take the glue gun go around the edge to ensure good connection and then
edge to ensure good connection and then
edge to ensure good connection and then keep adding glue covering the entire cap
keep adding glue covering the entire cap
keep adding glue covering the entire cap that way we’ll have just a small pool of
that way we’ll have just a small pool of
that way we’ll have just a small pool of hot glue a couple of millimeters thick
hot glue a couple of millimeters thick
hot glue a couple of millimeters thick as soon as we have our hot glue pool
as soon as we have our hot glue pool
as soon as we have our hot glue pool down inside our coupling we’ll take our
down inside our coupling we’ll take our
down inside our coupling we’ll take our other soda bottle with the cap attached
other soda bottle with the cap attached
other soda bottle with the cap attached flip it upside down and press the cap
flip it upside down and press the cap
flip it upside down and press the cap down into the hot glue there’s a pretty
down into the hot glue there’s a pretty
down into the hot glue there’s a pretty good amount of hot glue in
good amount of hot glue in
good amount of hot glue in the coupling there so we’re gonna give
the coupling there so we’re gonna give
the coupling there so we’re gonna give that just a couple minutes to cool down
that just a couple minutes to cool down
that just a couple minutes to cool down once it has will try and disconnect both
once it has will try and disconnect both
once it has will try and disconnect both bottles from their caps inside the
bottles from their caps inside the
bottles from their caps inside the connector there we go first bottle comes
connector there we go first bottle comes
connector there we go first bottle comes off pretty nicely you can actually see
off pretty nicely you can actually see
off pretty nicely you can actually see that when I press the bottle down into
that when I press the bottle down into
that when I press the bottle down into the puddle of hot glue some of it eased
the puddle of hot glue some of it eased
the puddle of hot glue some of it eased up past the cap that’s what we want it
up past the cap that’s what we want it
up past the cap that’s what we want it means there’s glue surrounding the sides
means there’s glue surrounding the sides
means there’s glue surrounding the sides of the cap and should give it a really
of the cap and should give it a really
of the cap and should give it a really nice connection so now we have our two
nice connection so now we have our two
nice connection so now we have our two caps inside our PVC coupling pressed
caps inside our PVC coupling pressed
caps inside our PVC coupling pressed against each other being held together
against each other being held together
against each other being held together with a bunch of hot glue now what we
with a bunch of hot glue now what we
with a bunch of hot glue now what we need to do is drill a hole to let the
need to do is drill a hole to let the
need to do is drill a hole to let the water drain from one bottle into the
water drain from one bottle into the
water drain from one bottle into the other to drill the hole I’m using a 3/8
other to drill the hole I’m using a 3/8
other to drill the hole I’m using a 3/8 inch drill bit alright we now have our
inch drill bit alright we now have our
inch drill bit alright we now have our tornado tube connector device that
tornado tube connector device that
tornado tube connector device that should be working so let’s attach it to
should be working so let’s attach it to
should be working so let’s attach it to both bottles and see if we can get that
both bottles and see if we can get that
both bottles and see if we can get that nice vortex we were looking at
stand up straight there we go we have
stand up straight there we go we have our tornado in a bottle or I guess it’s
our tornado in a bottle or I guess it’s
our tornado in a bottle or I guess it’s in water not air so that’s a maelstrom
in water not air so that’s a maelstrom
in water not air so that’s a maelstrom not a tornado there you go how to build
not a tornado there you go how to build
not a tornado there you go how to build a working tornado tube connector in just
a working tornado tube connector in just
a working tornado tube connector in just a few minutes with some very basic parts
a few minutes with some very basic parts
a few minutes with some very basic parts there are a couple things I want to try
there are a couple things I want to try
there are a couple things I want to try to make this look just a little bit
to make this look just a little bit
to make this look just a little bit cooler though as the water is spinning
cooler though as the water is spinning
cooler though as the water is spinning down from one bottle into the other you
down from one bottle into the other you
down from one bottle into the other you can see the vortex in the center now
can see the vortex in the center now
can see the vortex in the center now looks really cool
looks really cool
looks really cool but I want to try something that lets
but I want to try something that lets
but I want to try something that lets you really see the water swirling around
you really see the water swirling around
you really see the water swirling around itself so I’m going to add just a little
itself so I’m going to add just a little
itself so I’m going to add just a little bit of glitter to our water and see what
bit of glitter to our water and see what
bit of glitter to our water and see what that does
that does
that does I’m gonna try and pour some glitter into
I’m gonna try and pour some glitter into
I’m gonna try and pour some glitter into our bottle of habit getting everywhere
our bottle of habit getting everywhere
our bottle of habit getting everywhere because I don’t really want a glitter
because I don’t really want a glitter
because I don’t really want a glitter covered workshop all over my gloves
covered workshop all over my gloves
covered workshop all over my gloves already it’s spreading the workshop is
already it’s spreading the workshop is
already it’s spreading the workshop is going to be glittery forever
start by just shaking this up a little
start by just shaking this up a little bit to get the glitter to mix into the
bit to get the glitter to mix into the
bit to get the glitter to mix into the water there we go
water there we go
water there we go weirdly still is floating quite a bit on
weirdly still is floating quite a bit on
weirdly still is floating quite a bit on the top all right I’m gonna try flipping
the top all right I’m gonna try flipping
the top all right I’m gonna try flipping it and swirling it around there you go
it and swirling it around there you go
it and swirling it around there you go there’s your tornado and you can
there’s your tornado and you can
there’s your tornado and you can definitely see it swirling around a lot
definitely see it swirling around a lot
definitely see it swirling around a lot more glitter does do a good job of
more glitter does do a good job of
more glitter does do a good job of catching the light I guess that’s kind
catching the light I guess that’s kind
catching the light I guess that’s kind of the whole point of glitter this is
of the whole point of glitter this is
of the whole point of glitter this is interesting if you look down at the
interesting if you look down at the
interesting if you look down at the bottom how much of the glitter doesn’t
bottom how much of the glitter doesn’t
bottom how much of the glitter doesn’t want to mix into the water and just sort
want to mix into the water and just sort
want to mix into the water and just sort of stays on the surface all right let’s
of stays on the surface all right let’s
of stays on the surface all right let’s try that again as soon as the vortex
try that again as soon as the vortex
try that again as soon as the vortex forms for a second all of the surface
forms for a second all of the surface
forms for a second all of the surface glitter gets pulled down into it you
glitter gets pulled down into it you
glitter gets pulled down into it you have this really glittery vortex and
have this really glittery vortex and
have this really glittery vortex and then it clears out and then you just
then it clears out and then you just
then it clears out and then you just have water with glitter in it swirling
have water with glitter in it swirling
have water with glitter in it swirling around in settles in a layer there wide
around in settles in a layer there wide
around in settles in a layer there wide vortex and just pulls the surface
vortex and just pulls the surface
vortex and just pulls the surface glitter down it’s like stuck to the
glitter down it’s like stuck to the
glitter down it’s like stuck to the sides of it it’s funny it’s not it’s not
sides of it it’s funny it’s not it’s not
sides of it it’s funny it’s not it’s not dropping it’s like on the the water side
dropping it’s like on the the water side
dropping it’s like on the the water side of the vortex not the bubble side of the
of the vortex not the bubble side of the
of the vortex not the bubble side of the vortex so some of it’s just stuck there
vortex so some of it’s just stuck there
vortex so some of it’s just stuck there that’s an interesting effect all right
that’s an interesting effect all right
that’s an interesting effect all right that works pretty cool let’s move on to
that works pretty cool let’s move on to
that works pretty cool let’s move on to our next filler our we’ve emptied out
our next filler our we’ve emptied out
our next filler our we’ve emptied out most of the glitter and now we’re going
most of the glitter and now we’re going
most of the glitter and now we’re going to try filling one of our bottles about
to try filling one of our bottles about
to try filling one of our bottles about 2/3 full of tonic water tonic water is a
2/3 full of tonic water tonic water is a
2/3 full of tonic water tonic water is a sweetened beverage that contains quinine
sweetened beverage that contains quinine
sweetened beverage that contains quinine and we’ll see the advantage of something
and we’ll see the advantage of something
and we’ll see the advantage of something with quinine in just a second all right
with quinine in just a second all right
with quinine in just a second all right we’ve got our tonic water
we’ve got our tonic water
we’ve got our tonic water there’s our connector still a little bit
there’s our connector still a little bit
there’s our connector still a little bit of glitter on the inside of our cap so
of glitter on the inside of our cap so
of glitter on the inside of our cap so that’s already ending up in our tonic
that’s already ending up in our tonic
that’s already ending up in our tonic water but that’s all right
there we go the bubbles are doing a
there we go the bubbles are doing a fairly nice job similar to the glitter
fairly nice job similar to the glitter
fairly nice job similar to the glitter that lets you see it spinning around but
that lets you see it spinning around but
that lets you see it spinning around but that’s not the real advantage of using
that’s not the real advantage of using
that’s not the real advantage of using tonic water now the reason we’re trying
tonic water now the reason we’re trying
tonic water now the reason we’re trying using tonic water is that quinine glows
using tonic water is that quinine glows
using tonic water is that quinine glows in a blacklight so I have here a little
in a blacklight so I have here a little
in a blacklight so I have here a little blacklight check this out
just lights it up bright blue chemical
just lights it up bright blue chemical you can see the path that the light is
you can see the path that the light is
you can see the path that the light is taking through the bottle alright and I
taking through the bottle alright and I
taking through the bottle alright and I also happen to have a larger blacklight
also happen to have a larger blacklight
also happen to have a larger blacklight here wow you can already see how much
here wow you can already see how much
here wow you can already see how much that’s lighting it up so let’s get this
that’s lighting it up so let’s get this
that’s lighting it up so let’s get this tornado going and I’ll put the large
tornado going and I’ll put the large
tornado going and I’ll put the large black light up against it and we’ll have
black light up against it and we’ll have
black light up against it and we’ll have this just glowing blue tornado here goes
ha yeah that beautiful glowing Maelstrom
ha yeah that beautiful glowing Maelstrom looks like we found some liquid from the
looks like we found some liquid from the
looks like we found some liquid from the movie avatar and put it in the bottle
movie avatar and put it in the bottle
movie avatar and put it in the bottle there we go we filled it with quinine
there we go we filled it with quinine
there we go we filled it with quinine and put a black lie next to it got a
and put a black lie next to it got a
and put a black lie next to it got a really cool blue glowing effect now fill
really cool blue glowing effect now fill
really cool blue glowing effect now fill the bottle back up with regular water
the bottle back up with regular water
the bottle back up with regular water and I’m going to be adding some
and I’m going to be adding some
and I’m going to be adding some glow-in-the-dark craft paint this is an
glow-in-the-dark craft paint this is an
glow-in-the-dark craft paint this is an acrylic based paint which should dilute
acrylic based paint which should dilute
acrylic based paint which should dilute nicely into the water when I shake it up
nicely into the water when I shake it up
nicely into the water when I shake it up so I’m going to pour this in and I’m
so I’m going to pour this in and I’m
so I’m going to pour this in and I’m gonna see if we can get this to glow in
gonna see if we can get this to glow in
gonna see if we can get this to glow in the dark that looks like a good amount
the dark that looks like a good amount
the dark that looks like a good amount [Applause]
that looks pretty well mixed
that looks pretty well mixed let’s give just a little bit more to
let’s give just a little bit more to
let’s give just a little bit more to make sure I’m gonna try and squeeze the
make sure I’m gonna try and squeeze the
make sure I’m gonna try and squeeze the foam out and pour that off into the sink
foam out and pour that off into the sink
foam out and pour that off into the sink I don’t want bubbles now it’s great all
I don’t want bubbles now it’s great all
I don’t want bubbles now it’s great all right just a quick test I’m gonna be
right just a quick test I’m gonna be
right just a quick test I’m gonna be using a blacklight to see the result
using a blacklight to see the result
using a blacklight to see the result blacklight is really good at charging
blacklight is really good at charging
blacklight is really good at charging glow-in-the-dark stuff very quickly Oh
glow-in-the-dark stuff very quickly Oh
glow-in-the-dark stuff very quickly Oh beautiful look at that let’s get some
beautiful look at that let’s get some
beautiful look at that let’s get some squirrel action and then just ha looks
squirrel action and then just ha looks
squirrel action and then just ha looks really cool just lights up and makes
really cool just lights up and makes
really cool just lights up and makes individual tiny tiny little pink
individual tiny tiny little pink
individual tiny tiny little pink particles glow and those get caught up
particles glow and those get caught up
particles glow and those get caught up in the swirl of the water and they’re so
in the swirl of the water and they’re so
in the swirl of the water and they’re so small they don’t hold much of a glowing
small they don’t hold much of a glowing
small they don’t hold much of a glowing charge for long but it’s still pretty
charge for long but it’s still pretty
charge for long but it’s still pretty cool all right let’s try getting a whole
cool all right let’s try getting a whole
cool all right let’s try getting a whole world fooled here now of course the
world fooled here now of course the
world fooled here now of course the paint has made the liquid a bit more
paint has made the liquid a bit more
paint has made the liquid a bit more opaque so you can’t really see the
opaque so you can’t really see the
opaque so you can’t really see the whirlpool itself but now when we light
whirlpool itself but now when we light
whirlpool itself but now when we light up part of it with our blacklight it
up part of it with our blacklight it
up part of it with our blacklight it starts swirling around really cool when
starts swirling around really cool when
starts swirling around really cool when I hold it right here you can watch the
I hold it right here you can watch the
I hold it right here you can watch the glowing paint run down the side of the
glowing paint run down the side of the
glowing paint run down the side of the bottle and mix with the rest of the
bottle and mix with the rest of the
bottle and mix with the rest of the paint let’s try with the big black light
paint let’s try with the big black light
paint let’s try with the big black light see what happens get some charge see if
see what happens get some charge see if
see what happens get some charge see if we get all of it glowing before we start
we get all of it glowing before we start
we get all of it glowing before we start our tornado this black light is about
our tornado this black light is about
our tornado this black light is about hmm a million times more powerful all
hmm a million times more powerful all
hmm a million times more powerful all right let’s flip this
that looks pretty cool this blowing up
that looks pretty cool this blowing up here runs down it’s not glowing too much
here runs down it’s not glowing too much
here runs down it’s not glowing too much on the sidewalls that I can make it glow
on the sidewalls that I can make it glow
on the sidewalls that I can make it glow more on the sides that looks so cool as
more on the sides that looks so cool as
more on the sides that looks so cool as it drips down into the bottle it’s just
it drips down into the bottle it’s just
it drips down into the bottle it’s just like liquid light pouring down there you
like liquid light pouring down there you
like liquid light pouring down there you go how to build your very own vortex
