Abstract
A bioluminescent tornado maker system for creating a pleasing, glow-in-the-dark tornado. The bioluminescent tornado maker system generally includes a base that supports a transparent vessel having a liquid within it. The liquid may be salt water, and may contain bioluminescent organisms, such as dinoflagellates. An impeller in the base in contact with the liquid causes a rotational flow of the liquid, creating a visible vortex and also a mechanical disturbance that causes the bioluminescent organisms to emit a visible light, resulting in a glow-in-the-dark tornado.
Claims20
A bioluminescent tornado maker, comprising:
- a transparent vessel;
- a liquid disposed within the transparent vessel, wherein the liquid comprises salt water and bioluminescent organisms;
- an impeller in contact with the liquid such that a rotation of the impeller causes a flow of the liquid;
- wherein the flow of the liquid creates a disturbance that causes the bioluminescent organisms to emit a visible light;
- and
- an air pump coupled to the transparent vessel, wherein the air pump creates air bubbles in the liquid.
