Making a Fire Tornado! A RED Fire Tornado!

This week I make a fire tornado with a red flame. This is a simple but epic experiment! Using some alcohol and lithium nitrate, a red flame is centered on a spinning platform (lazy susan) and a wire-frame trash can placed over top. When you get things spinning, a vortex forms inside the trash can causing the flame to rise into a spinning tornado of fire! Hope you enjoy!
