Twister Dorothy Pepsi Tornado RFD Sensor Ball

Warner Bros., 1996. Original plastic RFD orb prop with propeller/sail cut from an aluminum Pepsi soft drink can. "RFD" stands for "rear flank downdraft," a key factor in the formation of tornadoes in supercell thunderstorms. In the disaster film, scads of these balls are released from "DOROTHY" units to collect data on tornadoes. As many of these props were made for production, it is rare to find one with the "Pepsi sail" present or intact. The prop retains a non-functioning wire strand emanating from the top. Exhibiting some production wear and handling. Measuring 3 x 3.25 x 2.25 in. In good condition.
