Redwood Discovery Museum tornado
Abstract
The Tornado exhibit was a project done by four environmental resource engineering students at Cal Poly Humboldt in the Fall of 2022 over twelve weeks. The Redwood Discovery Museum required more educational and engaging exhibits. Hence, the group of students' goal for this project was to demonstrate the formation of a vortex with circular and updraft airflow to meet the educational and engaging factors of the exhibit. This exhibit operates via a switch on the museum's bottom front chamber. Once someone activates the switch, both the ultrasonic fogger and the fan turn on, allowing the formation of a tornado.
