Unreal Tornado Machine Powered by Ionic Thrust (world first!)

Thanks to DeleteMe for sponsoring this build, and for all the viewers who bullied me for years..... to try a vortex design with ionic thrust! You may have created a monster.

I can see how this can be sold for thousands of dollars to high end restaurants who can afford decorating their place with such machines... you should think about it 👀

Attach a tesla coil to it so we can get a lightning effect

Might be interesting to light it from below with a single central beam. Lasers ?

This belongs on every science museum

As a science teacher I request that you either make full build instructions (including materials list) available, or find a partner to make a kit. This is far better than any tornado model that I've seen. Especially since it relies on temperature differential to visualize the vortex formation.

You need to put little miniatures of a house, two people running away, and a cow….. 😂😂😂😂 PS , the people should be Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton 😉

I can really see a ''consumer'' version of this with everything fitting in the base. This is really cool.

Now we just have to wait for Integza to make a combustible version of this... 2 weeks?

The lower speed vortices are the best visually to me. The speed is much better for the scale of the vortex at the lower speeds. They look more tornadic than the high speed setting.

Oh wow! As a storm chaser I would love to have one of these in my house! Great video.

Man o man, this is why I love your channel so much... You sir, think outside the tube!!! If this doesn't get a subscriber, I don't know what would! Who can resist a person who created his on personal twister??? Maybe another 4' taller, and 2' wider! Ok, so the tube would cost thousands, but so worth it, my goodness! Maybe thrusters stacked together if needed, or even smaller, because, who knows what smaller thrusters would do? You could sell truck loads of smaller versions... Color changing ring light... Wow... Cool man!!! Very COOL!!!

it just works, 1 test needed and it just works. so satisfying

Line laser to create an illuminated vortex cross section will be a great feature :D

I remember our old conversations about ion lifters, and trying to find a decent TV for the power source. Now here you are, still wearing killer shirts, and messing around. Too cool. Can't wait to see you hit that 1 mill mark.

Finally a good practical application for these ionic thrusters.

Incredibly cool! I think scripting the voltage so it looks like it’s pulsating would be cool

Haven't seen this in comments yet: what about a spinning 'toy' in the center? Something that generates lift via the spin (bladed 'flying discs' usually launched from a handheld device).... if the vortex power is right, and the lift balances the weight/gravity, you'd get a floating disc that would just sit there in the middle, riding the vortex. Think 'floating ping pong ball' which can be floated on a simple stream of air, which 'spins' as a globe, but more 'ufo' like, spinning in the direction of vortex, and riding it.

I am certain, that at one point we will learn about you in our historybooks as a pioneer in ionic thrust

Amazing work! This could be applied to your thruster in general
