DIY Tornado Flame Lanterns

[@IAMSatisfied]

Nice lanterns... thanks for sharing! You might want to try offsetting your glass so that the incoming air spins CCW, as the Coriolis effect in the Northern hemisphere spins in that direction. I think you'll find it produces a better cyclone... it'd make for a neat comparison video.

You are very talented. Nice lanterns

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Love seeing idea's being put to work! The router work, scary man. Everything's good until it's not, if that blade ever bit into the wood this would be a totally different video.

Very nice, cool project. Thank you for sharing

[@katiepeters9363]

It’s awesome you can turn recyclables into something so fascinating. Great job and I ❤️ the logo!

[@tedfritsch3340]

Amazing talent.

[@gyurterd8922]

It's the best option for tornados! You are a genius! It works be interested to learn how to weld the 2 glasses with heat just like the glass blowers do

[@WillowsWorldofDIY]

Thanks! I would really like to learn how to weld glass like glass blowers do, unfortunately I don't know any glass blowers in my area. I want to see if I can make these to fit onto tiki torches, If I can figure it out I will make a video. I'm glad you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching!

Good idea. Next project build a worktable with your logo? Also you could rout the cavity for the fueltank into a bigger biard that is screwed to a table and then cut the small board from that. This might be a litte safer than your routing method.

Nice

[@davidrussell2239]

Amazing!!!!

[@jorgplietker6347]

Great, is the direktion of the rotation important or the same for the flame? I mean in the case of water is the tornado only in one direktion.... or?

[@WillowsWorldofDIY]

No, the direction of the rotation can go either direction depending on how you position the glass pieces. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@jorgplietker6347]

Im in Germany here the water flow is like the clock goes... Is the flame beter with the clock or against the clock.... That's my opinion?

[@WillowsWorldofDIY]

@@jorgplietker6347 When I was building it before I made the base, I used welding gloves and held the glass so I could move the glass pieces around to see what worked best. Mine seemed to work a little better in a clockwise direction but that might have been due to the wind direction during my outdoor test. When I tried it in a controlled area (my garage) it worked in both directions and looked the same in hight and amount of rotation of the flame. So I they will work in either direction, I just chose clockwise because the wind direction and the way I was holding it that day during my test. They also worked great on tiki torches with 1-1/2” bamboo but they are very top heavy and need to be secured very well and driven into the ground really good.

[@wascadoo8946]

Willow that was a great piece of DIY. Keep up the good work Mate👍🍺

[@mitic1978]

Geniale.

[@craighoover9373]

This is awesome! Wow! Are these available to purchase by chance?

[@WillowsWorldofDIY]

Not at this time. I need to work on setting up a Website. I hope you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@sandrasalameh4430]

You are so talented this video is so cool to watch.😮 R they for sale? How can I buy them I love all the colors ❤

[@katiepeters9363]

Could you put anything at the bottom of the aluminum can to prevent the alcohol from splashing to easily?

[@WillowsWorldofDIY]

These lanterns are meant to be stationary, so I haven't had any problems with the fuel splashing. You would probably have to design a different fuel container with a wick like a tiki torch container to prevent splashing or spilling. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@justinfowler2857]

You might just put cotton balls soaked in alcohol. It won't splash, but probably will have a bit of soot and ash.

[@sjagain]

Will the flame get taller with a taller glass, or do you need a taller glass and more fuel?

[@WillowsWorldofDIY]

The flame will get taller with taller glass but it will consume fuel faster so I would recommend using a larger fuel container if you want a longer run time. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@larrypapciak5409]

Very cool. Where did you get the logo stencil?

[@WillowsWorldofDIY]

Katie from www.etsy.com/shop/SavvySouthernShoppe makes all my decals. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@helenfukumoto2]

Love these!👍. Do you sell them? If you don’t, you should. How long will they burn? Looking for something to last at least 3 hours.

[@WillowsWorldofDIY]

I don't sell them yet. The ones I built in this video will only burn for about an hour. I'm planning on trying to make some that will fit on tiki torches for longer burn time. If I can get a 3-5 hour burn time then I might start selling them. Thanks for watching!

[@helenfukumoto2]

@@WillowsWorldofDIY you are very skilled in what you do. I’m sure you will come up with an idea for that and make it beautiful. Thank you for replying 😊

[@sjagain]

Aren't we all! Looking for 3 hours that is.

[@mikeregier6376]

Random question, where you getting the lithium for the red flame?

[@WillowsWorldofDIY]

I cut open a AAA lithium battery and I only used a small piece of lithium about 1/4"x1/4" to make the flame red. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@Bozemanjustin]

Water! You should be using water during your cuts
