![]() ![]() I then attached the relay on the wall inside the game near the power supply. The plug goes right into the service outlet and the fan cord plugs into the receptacle. You just need a relay, some wire, a plug and a receptacle. I've attached a few pics showing how I connected it. The bridged wires can be removed and the original connectors reattached to the uncut wires.) (I bridged the wires between the original game connectors and cut into those. It's all totally reversible without cutting any game wires. And when the spinning house stops receiving power, the relay switches back open and the house stops in the perfect position each time to drop the witch's feet. It gets up to speed fast and blows like a leaf blower. I attached one of those blower fans used for yard inflatables that I've had for years. The 110AC fans are the only ones that provide sufficient power to feel the wind in your face. The trick was to install a relay that will allow the game to switch on full 110v AC power when the house spins. ![]() I finally achieved the full tornado effect. I am thinking a diode might solve the problem of the house failing to stop abruptly in its correct position when the fan is connected.Īny electronics experts know if a diode would work here and what spec diode to use? I just want an effect similar to Whirlwind. I took a low quality video in post #19 showing attached ribbons blowing in its breeze, so I believe it was wired correctly. I also liked that you could mount it anywhere hidden (in back, inside, or underneath) and just connect a tube or hose to any output location you want. I didn't mind the noise though - I kinda liked that it brought attention to the spinning house "tornado mode." Yeah, that boat-fan was really loud like a vacuum cleaner. Still working on a good facade will be 3d modeling the tornado I pictured above to have a hole or something to funnel air better. I found that it is also important to angle it downward to enhance the effect. I'm still going to return it and go back to the first fan I linked. ![]() (I wonder if yours was potentially wired in reverse? The airflow seems pretty high). I bought the same boat-fan you first linked, and it was strong enough for me but way too loud. It appears there is some residual power with the fan affecting the house from stopping quickly. It may be caused by my specific fan, although it's a12v, and does work in conjunction with the spinning house. Has anyone else experienced this, and/or is there an easy fix? With the fan connected, the house will continue to slowly spin to a stop in a random position. ![]() Normally, the house will make an abrupt stop in the perfect consistent position to reveal the feet. When the fan is powered to the spinning house, the house is no longer finding its consistent end spot, to reveal the witch's feet. *Mobitee, TX was a recommended ghost town to visit in Tim Vasquez's first Chase Handbook.Ok, I may just be talking to myself and I apologize if I've inundated this thread, but just wanted to share a problem that I've discovered in case others are going to try this mod. However, as others have noted, it certainly has "official" and "non-official" aspects to each term/word. So in some regards "cyclone" could be an acceptible reference it speaking of such things as Wizard of Oz movie. But it's been awhile and that is video I never captured (so I'd have to pull the hi8 tape.arrrggg). If I remember right, we actually found another date that might even have gone back close to or before the 20th century with the same note. At the old cementery that an old man restored, you can find many markers with the same date and noted "died in cyclone" and dated early part of the century. However, on a different note, back in 2003 or 2004 I was with Gammons, Collura and Amos Magliocco visiting the "old" Mobitee, Texas* (neat town.highly suggest visiting). I was able to get a copy of the LA Times (or tribute, whatever) for the Tri-State tornado & associate evenst dated the next day just as they were getting word (it was a HUGE headline to say the least.very cool collectible). "Tornado" has roots that go back fairly far. ![]()
