How to Make a Fire Tornado

This video demonstrates a simple method to create a fire tornado with things that are likely already around the house. The method shown has been used for some time now and I figured it was about time I gave it a shot myself. The usual method is to use nothing more than a bowl of liquid alcohol for the flame, but I found that to be dangerous as the burning liquid could spill and cause a serious fire. The addition of cotton balls removes the risk of splashing. Care should always be taken around fire to be sure nothing flammable is nearby and that there is proper ventilation. A fire extinguisher should always be within reach whenever performing an experiment like this! Stay safe!
