Tornado

This is an American toy, made in the 1980s. Parts of the US get tornadoes or twisters on a scale that we do not see in Europe, and these sometimes appear in fiction (The Wizard of Oz for instance begins with a tornado) and also in toys, such as this one. Fill the top container with water plus a little bit of soap (which makes the tornado more visible) and switch it on. A little spinner at the bottom of the container rotates, and as the speed of the spinning water increases, a tornado style shape appears in the water.
You can adjust the speed the water spins, and create a larger or smaller tornado.

This would be good with a physical farm scene in it. A metal frame for the house with rubber planks covering it - fixed in such a way that they would flap in the tornado's gusts. Perhaps some cows with enough air in their backs that they might land upright everytime the storm calms. It would be a thing of beauty.

[@spingleboygle]

you’re a genius

[@brickman409]

Fancy cinematography in this video

[@MrFreefonix420]

i don't understand why this guy is only on the internet he should be on tv with his own little segments

[@ильягурин-й4ш]

yes

[@MrFreefonix420]

Exactly!! Which is whu he deserves a tv show!

[@alegomanYTPs]

Should have made tiny model cows in there

[@RudeStag]

sick bong tim

[@Exarian]

Huh, you know this is basically a toy version of a magnetic mixer. I guess if I needed to Jerry together a cheap meth lab, this would be pretty useful /s

[@Crystal-uh2gc]

What an extraordinary idea, lovely.

[@aphotic_soul]

Back in the day, we had to shake 2 liter bottles by hand to do this.

[@hziebicki]

You should try adding coloured water to the tornado.

[@anelvillegas21]

Who else has been binge watching these videos?

[@BeardFaceSuper]

+Anel Villegas Me!

[@samuelcolunga8156]

Anel Villegas what's binge

[@jozefik1259]

misery

[@ruthsoriano577]

Anel Villegas me

[@davidwallace946]

I need that for Xmas because I love tornadoes

[@DEO777]

The Wizard of Oz is an allegory about the end of the United States and the beginning of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC.

[@Zdyne1]

I have never seen an electric one before. When I was a kid we used to make them out of plastic bottles with little connectors. You would shake it around and as the top bottle drained into the bottom bottle it would form a small tornado/whirlpool.

[@Marcara081]

Y'know, I've watched this channel for a while but it was only yesterday that I decided to browse and purchase some of these fine items as stocking stuffers. Those prices are outrageous. I couldn't offer my business even if I wanted to.

[@AntifoulAwl]

I dont think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto.

[@scullyitsme]

I had this exact one as a kid!!!!

[@iCatchLupin]

Something is horribly, horribly wrong with me. I thought at the start that Tim had procured a bong from somewhere and seriously overfilled it.

[@lucymeegan8697]

You could mix your coffee cream with the coffee with that tornado thing 😝

[@samuelyawful]

I would love to have one of those! It's simple yet wonderful! :)

[@GaiusGaiusGaius]

I had one of these!!!

[@whatdoyousuppose]

I had something like this, but it didn't have a motor and it had a cover at the top. All you had to do is stir the bottle thing round very quickly and you'd get a really nice looking twister!

[@devinstcyr5067]

what is this toy thing he's talking about

[@spingleboygle]

i have two of those 2

[@kylered1268]

I have just discovered your channel, and it is quite a wonderful haven from the trolls and immaturity usually found on KZbin. Very interesting, thank you for taking your time to share this with us :).

[@RedThorn00]

It's so soothing.

[@spugintrntl]

Pretty much every third grade teacher in my school had a manual one of these (basically just a plastic cylinder with water and glitter inside) that you'd have to swish around yourself to get the tornado to go. I was never able to get it to touch down.

[@spingleboygle]

i’ve got two of those and i’m able to create a huge twister in just one swish.

[@Gameboygenius]

I think the soap actually helps the effect by being less dense and thus being forced to the middle by the centrifuging.

[@ExtraLargeChicken]

Tim, please make more longer vids of larger collections! These kind of single item vids are interesting, but you haven't uploaded one in a while!

[@willfeav]

This is the christmas advent with a video every day though...

[@grandillusions]

We will do some longer videos, but they are much more work, and we could not do one every day, as we are doing in our 'Advent Calendar'. There will be more long videos in January.

[@elementalsheep2672]

The place that I work at distributes cocktail mixers just like this.

[@AndersMikkelsen]

I had one of these as a kid, but it didn't have a base with a motor. You had to shake it clockwise to make the tornado yourself.

[@TrailBot]

Ditto. I still have it

[@spingleboygle]

i have two of those

[@drewski1535]

Oh dude I wish I had this this is cool

[@TheRealHelvetica]

This is like those chocolate milk moo mixers.

[@MrrBluee]

I used to have one of those! It left a strange foreign taste to my drink though, almost electric

[@necrisro]

Christmas special edition please :)

[@ben00000100]

A magnetic stirrer in A2 Chemistry would have been useful to say the least

[@jacobczarniak3752]

That is super duper awesome

[@thebrunito2818]

Señor eres bueno haciendo Tornado

[@DrFlizzle]

Very neat!

[@marcusakerman9786]

That's one high tech bong.

[@Modded25]

I had one that you mixed drinks with. it made great chocolate milk

[@littlefrank90]

I would throw any kind of stuff in there

[@SameriddAndCave]

"We want you to fill this with your spit until it's full."

[@stoopidoooo]

I remember having to shake these by hand

[@MonsterArrow]

CAN WE MAKE CHOCOLATE MILK WITH IT !? I mean uh,.. Yeah. No, can we ????

[@ThaManYeah]

What are those motors called? just the motor with the litte magnetic thin inside it to make the whirpool?

[@bul188]

It's a whirlpool

[@Adastra14]

its an illusion.

[@InsaneAlternative]

Adastra14 And a grand one at that.

[@xnamkcor]

***** What if I told you a wirlpool is a tornado in the water?

[@bul188]

I would say "it isn't."

[@XcaptainXobliviousX]

the idea that its a "tornado toy" is based on the fact that it has a clear plastic container covered in very obviously above ground scenery framing the action of the whirlpool.

[@xnamkcor]

It also doubles as a magnetic mixer.

[@gopalgoswami3376]

I had made one similar, while attempting to make a magnetic stirrer for my hobby.

[@hanif72muhammad]

[@japanimejunkie6524]

Awesome! :)

[@triton62674]

Cool

[@metallicakevin1]

[@BEN-tj9lj]

Thats sick

[@super-gamesshorts2796]

So cool

[@elsaalcala5486]

Great!

[@Mister_Eiffel]

Actually, it's more a maelstrom than a tornado.

[@n00baTr00pa]

What would happen if you put a non-newtonian fluid in it?

[@CometAura]

It's a tea/coffee stirrer!

[@cybersunk]

id totally make a bong outta that

[@davidwallace946]

I wish I had that

[@aricola84]

watch this while youre high

[@MagnoliaFarmJulie]

I used to have one but the tornado escaped

[@James-wn9qc]

DROP A TEA LEAF INTO IT!

[@Joshthetornadodude]

That sound is murdering my ears

[@SuperJerkleCircle]

But where are the sharks?

[@rachaelcollins6460]

i want one!!!

[@15thcentury]

Magnetic stirrers in chemistry laboratories.

[@saskema1]

i need one!!!

[@diewhaha]

Wind speed is tiny

[@nolanclemons2623]

where do you get that

[@Barnet310]

Turn it into a bong!

[@willfeav]

I'm not sure you know what a bong does or is

[@Barnet310]

Was that meant to be funny?

[@kujoforever]

the machine kinda resembles a bong

[@P4INKiller]

Wow.

[@ZeKetteh]

i had one of those diffrent brand but it broke :(

[@flaminggutieres4874]

Isn't the technical term for a water tornado a whirlpool?

[@moriarctic]

No it's called a water spout if the tornado goes into a large body of water 👍

[@spingleboygle]

@@moriarctic water spouts are not tornadic, but there are chances of a tornado on land crossing a body of water

[@Amithrius]

Isn't that more of a whirlpool?

[@8888TwistingFate]

It's a children's toy.

[@shannonarmitage0810]

i want that

[@215mmiranda]

Can you please give a tornado toy?

[@和谐-s8f]

neat

[@DerGremlin]

put little plastic sharks in there

[@rihardsrozans6920]

Sharknado!

[@avelarhernandez7631]

whats it called

[@janemasuecos2033]

it's a rain wrap tornado

[@sirenhead6400]

wow

[@MrCraveAstros]

Tornado

[@215mmiranda]

Why is there soap in there

[@TehSlan]

Mike Miranda increases the number of bubbles which makes the vortex easier to see.

[@KarstenJohansson]

The only thing that could make this one better is a tornado cow: countrydesignhome.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/tornado-cow.jpg?w=440&h=241

[@HenrySavageMode]
