Tornado Simulator Kit

Want to make your own tornado machine but you're too lazy to hunt down all the parts? $120 buys you this neat Tornado Simulator Kit, which comes with building instructions, experiment ideas, and all the parts you'll need to get going except an ultrasonic humidifier. If you don't have one already the site will sell you a humidifier for $49.95, but there are better deals online.

    Er, yeah. As someone who lives in Oklahoma, I feel Mother Nature provides more than enough tornados to go around (no pun intended). Well, okay... it was intended. ;-) Anyway, I get all the tornado analysis I can stand from the local news stations.
