This cool vortex valve tornado tube is designed to demonstrate how a tornado is created.

Simply choose two large soft drink bottles of the same size, fill one with water, then connect them together with the special Tornado Tube Vortex Valve. With a flick of the wrist you'll create a tornado in a bottle!

It's great scientific fun. Add food colouring to the water for an even cooler effect!

Also available in a classroom 25 pack.

Please note: As this is a water activity, it is best done outside or over a science bench. If you experience leakage, please try using cling wrap around the bottle thread - not over the top. It is normal to experience a small amount of water on the outside depending on the bottles used.

Top points for the tornado tube

Gave this to my 10 year old grandson, he loved it as did many of the other kids and adults at his party. It sure was a hit.

So simple to use

We played with this the day we got the package. Followed the instructions and I got to lecture the kids on science and how great it was. They responded by ignoring me and going off the make more tornados! Small, but fun.

Great connectors

I've had these tornado tube valves before (from another supplier), and these were a replacement. I was definitely happy, as these came with 'O' rings to prevent leakage, which has always been a problem in the past.

My daughters project was due in 5 days and we ordered from cool things and it came extra quick for us within 48hrs, other kids projects were leaking but not my daughters.. the team at cool things supplied rubber stoppers to stop leaks from the bottles.. her project was a stand out and received an A grade :) Thanks cool things!

I purchased astronaut food and a prank golf ball for my 15 year old son, as stocking fillers for Christmas. Amazing. They arrived quick. Well packaged. And I know my son will love them. I hope I get to try some of the astronaut food. I have never seen that before. If not... I will be placing an order after Christmas for more. ...

Purchased two novelty miniature musical instrument desktop toys to take to work to amuse the office. Products are excellent and well packed for safe postage. CoolThings communicated the order and shipping details promptly, and items were sent and received quickly. Happy to recommend CoolThings and now that I know of them will likely purchase again....

My goods were exactly what I expected, I was told exactly where my parcel was and how long it would take to get to me. Everything was just so cool, as the name suggests. Love your stuff, it's so different....
