Lemons Come to Life

Indoor Tornado

psycop says...

The creator put some answers in the comments:

How the heck did i make it?

The living room of my father's place had a very strong ceiling fan, which could go in reverse. Instead of blowing air down, it would pull the air up. That would create an updraft strong enough to sustain the vortex. Next, I had a box fan and a blanket set up to redirect the air flow so it rotated around the center of the room. You can see it as the dark blue object in the back right. After the fans were turned on, I laid out an old dark red bed sheet with a small PVC pipe underneath it connected to a fog machine. The bed sheet allowed the fog to gently seep through and get pulled into the vortex, as opposed to being blasted out of the pipe. And then it was all a matter of letting the ceiling fan's updraft and the box fan's rotation mix into a 10 ft tall indoor tornado!!

Wait. What? It does fly? So if I hang it from my ceiling I have a sterling engine ceiling fan. Beautiful craftsmanship though. I'd be more interested in a video about the making of.

Perpetual Motion

Even if it can spin under it's own power (without fans or string, etc) try hooking it up to something else to extract work out of it. I think you'll find it slowing to a halt fairly quickly.


If it can work under it's own power then it's perpetual motion. You don't need to be able to extract power from it (although in a system like this power is being extracted all the time, heat from the axle, sound energy from the whole thing).

As for where the cheat is, if there's a ceiling fan in the room that would keep it going. To everyone trying to work out if it's fake, it is. There's no debate there. There's a hundred different ways this could be faked.

ETA: Just watch the lower hanging card strips when it's getting started.

Cat Ceiling Fan Jump Fail

If you look close there is something hanging on a string above the fan my guess is he was trying to grab it with his teeth without getting hit. Which at that speed is impossible.
