Instructions for replicating a tornado adapter

Here you will find instructions on how to build the tornado adapter for the "bottle tornado" experiment yourself.

What you need:

  • Superglue(the glue must be able to stick to plastic)
  • Drill or a thick nail and candle
  • pliers

Instructions:

  1. Unscrew the lids from the two bottles.
  2. Glue them together at the top with plenty of glue and leave to dry overnight.
  3. Have an adult drill a hole through the middle of both lids. The diameter of the hole should be about 8 millimeters.
  4. You can either use a thick nail, which you can have your parents heat in the flame of a candle and press firmly through the lids.
  5. Or you can have your parents drill through the lids with a drill.

Make sure you get help from an adult!
