Materials: 2 one or two liter bottles and caps, Duct Tape, Hot glue gun, Half inch wide nail, Ruler.

Instructions: 1. Peel the paper off the bottles and rinse them out. 2. Screw the caps off the bottles and puncture a half inch wide hole in the center of each, using the nail. Use the ruler to check the length of each hole. 3. Position the caps so that the holes are touching each other and glue together using a hot glue gun. Add some glue around the edge where the two caps meet, and be sure to add a generous amount. This seals the caps together. If you don't have a glue gun, duct tape the caps firmly together in the same position as if you were using glue. 4. Fill one bottle two thirds of the way with water, then screw on the double cap. Take the other bottle and screw it on to the other side of the double cap. 5. Circle duct tape fully around the caps only to further seal it, even if you did already if you didn't have a glue gun. 6. Flip the bottles upside-down so that the one with the water is on top. Hold the one with the water and quickly move it in a circular motion for a few seconds. You will see some bubbles rise to the top, and then a brilliant funnel will form. Happy tornado-ing!

I don't think you can make a real mini tornado that can be destructive. However, you can make a tornado in a bottle.

Here is what you need:

2 six liter water bottles

duct tape

water

Procedure: 1. Fill one of the water bottles with water.

2. Turn the other bottle upside down and tape it to the top of the water-filled bottle.

3. Rapidly spin the bottle and watch a tornado form in the water.

Yes, but only artificially manufactured ones. Perhaps you would like to watch a video on YouTube about the Mercedes Benz Museum. They create a tornado, actually, the longest artficial one in the world!

The water is being pulled down from one bottle the the one below it by gravity. if the is any swirling in the water, which occurs naturally, the water can take on that spin as it is pulled down and form a vortex.

If a tornado is headed your way, the last thing you should do is pack up and try to drive away. Instead, if you have a tornado shelter, gather your family and shut yourselves into it. If you don't, find a small, windowless room (closet, bathroom, etc.) and shut yourselves in there. Take food and water with you as you may be there a while.

My old meterology teacher had a fog machine in a covered bowl and some tubing that led to a fan suspended over a map. When the mist reached the map, the fan sucked it up into a twister shape.

The apparatus itself consists of two bottles connected end-to-end with one of them partially filled with water. There are special connectors available for doing this. When the setup is turned upside down the water drains from one bottle to the other, forming a vortex much like the one you see in a draining tub, only bigger. This vortex is the "tornado."

1: Warm and cold air colliding or other conditions that can cause strong thunderstorms.

2: Wind shear.

Is a dust devil a mini tornado?

No, by definition a tornado connects to both the ground and the base of a thunderstorm. Dust devils typically form on clear days and usually are no more than a few hundred feet tall.

Why does a tornado sometimes damage one house and not the other house next to it?

Some tornadoes, called multiple vortex or multivortex tornadoes, have smaller suction vortices, sort of mini-twisters, moving around in side of them. These suction vortices have stronger winds and can sometimes do much worse damage than the winds in the rest of the tornado. Sometimes these vortices are only a few yards wide.


What are mini tornadoes?

First we need to figure out what we mean by "mini tornado", as the term has no definition. Some European and Australian news outlets refer to the tornadoes they get as "mini tornadoes" regardless of how large or strong they are. These form in the same manner as any tornado. Some people might use the term "mini tornado" to refer to any tornado that is comparatively small and weak. These form in the same way strong tornadoes do, but with less ideal conditions. Weak tornadoes and waterspouts can form in a couple other ways as well. Finally, sometimes small whirlwinds such as dust devils are sometimes called "mini tornadoes." These are not actual tornadoes and have their own ways of forming. As to formation: The classic means of tornado formation is through a kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. Supercells typically form along a cold front or dry line, at the edge of or just inside a warm, humid air mass. The storms are fueled by the warm, moist air and rotate due to interactions with a condition called wind shear, where wind speed and direction changes with altitude. The area of rotation in these storms is called a mesocyclone. Under the right conditions a downdraft can wrap around the mesocyclone, tightening and intensifying it into a tornado. Mesocyclones can sometimes be embedded in a squall line as well. Sometimes "spin up" tornadoes can form along the turbulent leading edge of a severe squall line. These tornadoes are generally short-lived and weak. There is yet another kind of tornado called a landspout. These form when there is a broad circulation of air at ground level that gets caught in the updraft of a developing thunderstorm, which stretches and tightens it into an intense vortex. Waterspouts form in a similar way. Finally we have other whirlwinds that are not considered tornadoes, but look a bit like them. Dust devils are the most common example. These form on days when the sun heats a patch of ground, creating a layer of extra hot air right at ground level. This will rise up in a thermal. Sometimes this updraft will catch an eddy in the wind, causing it to tighten and intensify, lifting dust and sand into the air. People have also observed things such as "haydevils" which are essentially the same thing. Finally there are the whirls that pop up on windy days. These are simply eddies that form from the wind going around things such as buildings and trees. They sometimes can be seen when they pick up snow, leaves, or other light materials.

Can a mini tornado pick up a cow?

That depends on what you mean by "mini tornado," as there is no real definition for the term. Some people apply the term to whirlwinds such as dust devils, which aren't really tornadoes. In that case, then no. Sometimes, especially outside of the U.S. tornadoes with relatively narrow damage paths are referred to as "mini tornadoes," regardless of intensity. In that case, such a tornado may be able to lift up a cow depending on how intense it is. One tornado in France in 2008, which some outlets called a "mini tornado" caused isolated F4 damage. Such a tornado could pick up cows and much larger objects.

Is the worst part of a tornado the eye?

No. Like the eye of a hurricane, the eye of a tornado is calm. The worst part of tornado is the suction vortices. These are smaller circulations, almost like mini tornadoes, that circle the center of a tornado and can add more than 100 mph to the wind speed.
