Editing Fire Tornado (section)

==Why This Works==

''Cyclones'' largely differ from tornadoes because they do not require a strong storm system to form. Instead, a cyclone is what forms when air starts to spin and swirl on its own accord, due to things such as cross breezes, strong winds or quickly rising hot air. Most cyclones are pretty small, such as when you see sand spirals on the beach or swirling leaves in the fall, but if several factors are working together, then a cyclone can start to become dangerous. Fire tornadoes and dust devils are both types of cyclones, the former being made by a strong fire and a strong breeze, and the latter made by swirling air in a hot and dry climate.

When the turntable is spun without the wire cylinder, the bowl or plate merely spin slowly, and we see nothing form. This is because the air above and around it is not rotating, but standing still. The addition of the wire cylinder means that, when spun, the air within the cylinder becomes and air cell. An ''Air Cell'' is a pocket of air, within which we can note a difference from the rest of the air around, such as in water concentration or direction of movement. In this case, the air cell is influenced by the movement of the turn table because of the wire cylinder around it, and starts to spin. This spinning air, along with the rising air from the fire, will create a small cyclone.
