You know, these things have been around for years...in fact, you can find them in many local urban Science Centers and the like.
They're just a fancy equivilent of those vortex machines you can build using two soda bottles and some water.
Now if you want some REAL storm control action check out what the Gateway Arch in the St Louis Area can do:

Whoa! I think it's cool! And props to the fabricator for not being a smart-a$$ and tossing hamsters into it.

I think it's cool too. Is it ok to toss teacup poodles into it?

Lorrie: No.
...but it might serve as a useful marital aid for struggling hyenas..

Okay, so if a kid can build one of these, we know for sure the terrorists have got one. *shudder*

There's one kinda like this at the Exploratorium in San Fusisko. The kids run around in circles in the tube and the air gets to movin'. Then they stop and watch the tornado. Really.
