Fire tornado soap bubble

This is that eldritch shit. Still here for it, though.

I wanna walk around at night in Victorian London with this as my lantern

Bubbles aren’t just full of still air. The gas inside moves at high speed in a circular fashion. This rotational energy is what helps maintain the bubble’s surface tension. When that energy dissipates, the tension drops and the bubble pops. (For a certain set of nerds, think about Naruto’s Rasengan training.)

For this video, the vapour is dense that regular air and serves more for visualization. A third has capable of igniting is likely being added after the vapour to the main bubble. It may be hard to spot right away, but the “bubble wand” has two rings. The smaller, inner ring creates the hole for the gas to escape while the larger, outer ring maintains the bubble’s integrity. (Think soap bubbles in a kitchen sink or a bathtub.)

So as seen in the video, the gas wants to escape through the opening and will do so while maintaining the rotational inertia. Set the escaping gas alight and fire tornado happens.

He uses butane to fill the secondary bubble before adding the vapor. I don’t know the physics but I’m guessing burning the butane, which is heavier than air, causes it to be pulled upward, dragging the vapor along with it.

I found the artist on YouTube. He explains the process in this video

Here’s something cute

When lockdown happened in the UK it happened very suddenly. At the law firm I work at, our office building emptied overnight when everyone was told to work from home. No time to clear our desks, no time to bring office plants home.

Fast forward three and a half months - everyone assumes that their plants are dead.

But then! An email goes round! It’s turns out that one of our security guards is a florist, and -

-the security team has moved EVERY SINGLE PLANT from all 12 FLOORS of our office building into the cafeteria. It’s been turned into a temporary greenhouse. Cacti and succulents and spider plants and terrariums and potted ferns

AND! Each plant has been INDIVIDUALLY LABELLED by hand with post-it notes with name and desk location so the plants can go home after lockdown ends

To give some indication of the scale of the endeavour:

If you zoom into the centre right photo you can see one of our security team happily waving

The plants are being taken care of tenderly. They get sun and water and are spending happy times with other plant friends

I have never been so called out in my entire life.
