This is a 30 foot tornado.
And we came all the way to Chicago to see.
We are here to show you the massive tornado.
Wait, wait, come back, come back, come back.
I need to tell you guys how we got here.
Oh, yeah.
It's a giant tornado, rising tall and good, spinning fast, reaching high,
like it's dancing up into the sky.
Winds collide, you feel the core arch deep inside.
So much power, who can make a world like this that never breaks?
In the tornado.
It's actually refreshing.
It's like a humidifier.
Yeah.
I actually tried making my own tornado years ago
and it kind of worked.
Then I built a bigger one, and that one worked surprisingly well.
We built a tornado box, but the one at the museum was on another level.
Nice. The reverse fan.
Yeah. Uh-huh.
Oh, very cool. So, so fun.
And the fact that you as an engineer worked with your kid over there
to make a smaller version of it.
That one. Yeah.
Like, it's so cool.
As we're walking,
we're changing the airflow direction.
And this tornado is breaking apart.
Or like Superman, when he flew around the Earth to stop it.
We stopped the vortex.
It's gone.
We'll spin it into a 10-10 tornado.
This is real.
That's not special effects.
That's air spinning fast enough to look like a tornado.
But once you're walking, you're good to go.
What is the vapor, though?
Dry ice?
So underneath that little metal grate is a tub of water.
Imagine like a kiddie pool, right?
And it is surrounded by these atomizers.
Now, these little white disks are vibrating constantly
because you can make water vapor with changing the temperature,
like steam or with vibration.
It actually pulls everything upward.
Even though this vortex looks like it's huge.
It's going higher.
You made it all the way to the top.
Can I see the video that went on?
This might be one of the coolest science exhibits we've ever seen.
Yeah, the giant Tesla coil at the ceiling of science storms.
Right there.
I see that.
It's going to be firing 1.5 million volts of static electricity.
Where should we not stand?
Any last words?
Two, one.
And switch.
Tokyo.
You got a little pet for the house.
And your own hamster wheel.
We came to Chicago to film a tornado.
Not only do we film a tornado, we went in the tornado.
What was some of the favorite things you did?
Until next time, guys.
Bye. Like he said, bye, bye, bye.
I think that's our Uber.
To what we saw.
Every moment.
You're small. It's all the same.
Everything runs in your name.
Thank you, Hashem, for all we see, for the wind, the sky, the mystery
from the smallest drop to the open sky.
Heaven shows you're nearby.
Thank you, Hashem, we sing it loud.
From the swirling winds to every cloud, every sight shows your endless dream.
From home, the sky is so far above the world with your endless love.
