Very Nice Dan. I particularly like the blue lighting even if it is just a temporary torch light. Fits the subject really well.

THAT is cool!!

[Kiwi Tinker]

Top notch

Thanks for all the comments

I ordered the LED's last night, but they won't be here for maybe another 3 weeks unfortunately.

I also ordered a little "50mW" green laser module for $16. I know it will probably fall short of 50mW, but I have found using a line generating optic, and shining a laser through the tornado, you get to see a cross section, which shows the eye very well!

A bit hard to see the tornado.

I hope everyone has left that house though

Was bored, so made it out of balsa wood and duck tape

EDIT: Some more vids

Very nice Things! Definitely want to see it with some lighting..

[Xytrell]

Or even lightning.

Biggest spark generator I have only does about 9cm

Getting a spark to jump the 1.5 metres would require about 2 million volts or so >

doable with a marx generator, but a bit tricky for those not used to high voltage
