i have always been fascinated with air power and movement so when i heard about hurricane balls i was very fascinated cyclone balls are basically 2 spheres welded together so i did a little research and found that they were extremely  over priced (in my humble opinion) at approximately $38.48 online i was shocked i knew i could do better much better and so the quest for the epoxy began

the parts you will need are all easily accessible and are hopefully household items so here is what you will need....

1. your best most durable high strength adhesive
2. 2 ball bearings, marbles, anything spherical and hard will work
3. clamp

 

this is the easy part but for completeness sake i will break it down so here it is

1. obtain a small medicine cup or bottle cap
2. put equal amounts of epoxy and hardener into the bottle cap
3. stir the mixture well
4. take your sphere/ball and apply the epoxy to one point on the ball
5. clamp the second sphere to the first and pour the remaining epoxy on the point of contact
6. let dry for a good long while (overnight)

once the epoxy has hardened grab a straw (any drinking straw will do) and using both hands spin the spheres like a coin then using the straw blow on the edge of the sphere if done correctly the spheres will increase speed as you blow

have fun!!
