What happens when you manipulate the air currents?

Tornado Generator

The tornado generator uses mist, fans, and a uniquely shaped structure to produce a large indoor tornado. Children can intentionally manipulate the air currents that can cause both the creation and temporary cessation of a tornado, just like in nature. Bonus: tips to keep safe during a tornado emergency.
