Absolutely bursting with, rough inspiration from a jaunted holiday in Tasmania I had to share a surprise of honourary Tasmanian, Ned Kahn's work at my Brother in Laws office at the Dept of Meteorology which they are in a privileged position to own, even grander to have met the young artist.
The Tornado Machine is a platform housing a fog generator, there are four poles each containing fans that feed into, but counter rotate from, a large ceiling fan. The effect produces a vortex of simulated atmospheric conditions, thereby creating a tornado, indicated by the operation of the fog machine. Larger versions may operate without use of the fog machine, due to larger manipulated areas of complex pressures.
A spectacular artist, whose work, (even out of Blogger context) needs to be seen (being considered a genius and all, and as in Gaudi), the humble meanings and appreciation of his works, in fields and virtues of ecology and the environment, chaos theory and of course, specific meteorology, can be greatly extrapolated upon following the website link contained.
Non Sequitur- there was a distinct irony on the day of my particular visit having 174kph recorded winds, locally, in the storm that swept through on Tuesday Morning, Launceston is on the threshold of the roaring Forties in patterns eminating from a long empty ocean ring around that part of the globe and the wind it maintains.
