Build a tornado in your room

I've been seeing all these little tornado machines online. They're impressive but you can do better.

This tornado simulation was setup by Dr. Jim Brey (and his students) at UW Fox Valley in Menasha, WI.  Yes it IS room-size. This is one of the most impressive models I have ever seen!

2nd UPDATE: One of Dr. Brey's former students (and digg user) posted a video at Google Video of the tornado! (Go digg the video.)
