Vortex Valve Tornado Tube
Have fun making your own tornado using a vortex valve tornado tube. It will demonstrate how a tornado swirls.
The vortex valve connects two large soft drink bottles. Â
These amazing connectors screw onto two plastic soda bottles. To get started remove the labels from the empty soda bottles (same size works best) so you have a clear view of the tornado. Fill one of the two bottles with two-thirds of water. Connect the second bottle to the first with the vortex valve connector. Start swirling the bottles in a circular motion, turn the bottles around so that the bottle with water is at the top, as you keep making a circular motion a tornado will form in the top bottle, as the water rushes through the valve connector.
For a bit of fun you can add some glitter or food coloring to create a cool effect.
This is such a fun educational experiment that can be done at home, school, backyard or anywhere!
Age 3 years – adult.  A random color valve will be selected.
