How To Of The Day: How to Make a Fire Tornado

Night Hawk In Light demonstrates how to make a mini fire tornado in this video.

Enjoy!

This demonstration has been around for a few years now and I figured it was about time I gave it a shot myself. Many have made fire tornado’s using nothing more than a bowl of liquid alcohol for the flame, but I found that to be dangerous as the burning liquid could spill and cause a serious fire. The addition of cotton balls removes the risk of splashing. Care should always be taken around fire to be sure nothing flammable is nearby and that there is proper ventilation. A fire extinguisher should always be within reach whenever performing an experiment like this! Stay safe!
